Gabe is a punk cutting weight is a part of being a fighter he waited too long to start cutting and did not work hard enough he really didnt want to fight Cory and he thought he would get to stay on the show and be a star. It didnt turn out that way.

I can't stand that dude and I'm actually glad this aired out on t.v. like that. The dude is a fraud and pretty much ruined his pro mma career. There's pretty much a 1% chance we'll see him on UFC or Pride since it's all owned by the same company now and if you're not fighting in those you pretty much have to have something else going on to make a living.

I don't like the fact that he knew that he was over weight since the beginning. There were 2 or 3 fights before his and that would have meant at least 3 weeks before his fight was up and he did nothing but a colonic to try to lose weight. Colonics have no medical value whatsoever. Nothing. Not only that but he thought that a colonic would take 20 pounds off. Fuckin' idiot!

Plus he was 3 pounds away from making weight and if he would have taken it seriously he could have made that weight at least 3-4 hours ahead of time. Not only that but he thought that Corey "didn't have it in his eyes" and that would have validated him not making weight.

He either has to do some really spectacular shit in smaller shows and be spectacular for a long time before he even gets a chance at working a UFC show again.

Fuck that guy.

The other part to this "drama" is the fact that doctors know that cutting too much weight like that is not healthy. The show cut some crap when (I think it was Bobby Southworth) had a similar show. Here is Gabe doing the same thing...

I am soooooooooo glad that they made him leave the house and not stick around like the other fighters.

I forget the guy's name but he was on Season Two, he quit too after coming in over-weight.

I think the UFC should take guys on the show if they're 20 pounds overweight. They don't give the fighters much confirmation notice and always have a few on standby.

So if a doesn't look like he'll be able to cut weigh - cut him! I don't care how much personality he has.

I was freaking pissed off at the show last week. Gabe Rudiger is a great fighter that caught some bad luck, and did everything he could to cut weight, but it just couldn't be done. I really feel bad that all you guys are hating on him and you should be ashamed of yourselves...

...HAHAHAHAHA, I had some of you going didn't I? The only good thing about last episode is that emerson came back. I know its not exactly fair, but I liked him ever since the season started.

I finally saw this episode last night and I couldn't believe it. Like wow.

The sad part to me is that there are actually a lot of people in this world like him. He reminded me of a lot of guys I've come across. Just a big arrogant selfish prick.
