). Only Lauzon, of the three, had a victory in the UFC. In episode 5, Team Pulver selected Corey Hill
to fight Ruediger. The episode showed Ruediger eating ice cream cake
after learning of his upcoming fight, shortly before the weigh ins. He was then shown struggling to make the weight requirement by having to be dragged to and from the sauna room, laying naked by the team house pool facedown on the concrete, displaying signs of extreme exhaustion to the point an ambulance had to carry him off to the hospital. this marks the first time in Ruedigers career that he missed weight. He took direct criticism from his own coaches and teammates for "taking short cuts" and displaying a lack of dedication, due to his request for a colonic to lose weight (a procedure where they input plastic tubes up your rectum to flush fecal matter out of your system). The next day, Dana White
dismissed Ruediger from the competition and he was ordered to leave the house.
