Tachi Palace Fights title challenger Gabe Ruediger chasing paychecks rather than fame

Former WEC lightweight champion Gabe Ruediger (16-5) already knows what
you think about him; he just doesn’t care.

Three years after an infamous stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 5,”
Ruediger has heard the jokes, the criticism and the questions.

But with a five-fight win streak under his belt and a shot at Tachi
Palace Fights’ vacant lightweight title on tap for July, Ruediger says
he’s the one getting the last laugh.
