With their UFC futures likely on the line, lightweights Gabe Ruediger and Paul Kelly are expected to clash on the preliminary card of “UFC 123: Rampage vs. Machida” on November 20 in Detroit, MMA Weekly reports.
A castmember on The Ultimate Fighter 5, Ruediger (17-6) returned to the UFC and had his six-fight win streak snapped in a lopsided first-round submission to Joe Lauzon at UFC 118 late last month, while Kelly (10-3) dropped a unanimous decision to Jacob Volkmann at UFC on Versus 2 in August for his second loss in three fights.

Im rooting for Kelly, he’s a scrapper with an improving MMA game…
really another chance for reudiger, the only thing that he suprised me with was a six fight win streak, he is just not a top organization guy that 1st rd domination was no fluke reudiger just can’t hang with the big dogs
either him or dana or somebody said hes getting 1 more shot cuz he stepped late and all. terry etim pulled out late july-early august and they called him. that said i dont like this guy so fingers crossed kelly works him over aswell
ok well that is a deserving second shot then if he was called in late i did not know that, still not a fan i just don’t see him a ufc material
Seems like a pretty clear example of “win to keep your job” matchmaking here…
i love how everyone hates on gabe. but then everyone loves rumble and alves. i would of been rooting for gabe if he didnt act like a jerk after joe beat him. i think this is going to be a pretty fight.
