Despite falling short in the elimination round of "The Ultimate Fighter 12," T.J. O'Brien will get a second chance with the UFC.
Sources close to the negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com the triangle-choke specialist has agreed to replace an injured Gabe Ruediger at next month's UFC 123 event.
Ruediger was slated to fight lightweight Paul Kelly before a groin injury forced him off the card earlier this week.
