Was Gabe the smartest contestant of the season?

I mean he didn't have to fight, he didn't train that hard, he didn't have to sacrifice really much of anything and he's become a household name in the world of MMA. There is no doubt he will get to fight in the UFC again...Dana is a business man and you can bet your ass he sees the appeal of bringing in a fighter that EVERYONE despises. Christ some fighters spend years trying to cultivate a persona a that everyone loathes to make themselves a crowd draw...Gabe did easily and almost effortlessly. And when he does get his shot he's going be so underestimated and come in to the fight with nothing to lose that he could very well surprise everyone.

I give Gabe a big :thumbsup:

Gabe certainly wasn't the smartest. That may have been his master plan is becoming infamous but now, he got denied a fight in California because they found him mentally unstable to fight. Nice try Gabe, now go away.

And also, I don't see Gabe being any more of a well-known name among the show's fans than Marlon Sims or maybe even Weems.

Smart in a way, but dumb if he can't get licensed to fight. I might have to agree with BooyaKascha about Marlon Sims being the smartest fighter for making a household name, but do you really want to be known as that fighter who talks all the $hit. Fighter who can't make the weight and lets out a death cry who most people hate or the fighter who talks all the shit YOU PICK. Gabe is probably going to be a bigger ticket seller than Marlon Sims in the future though so who knows.

You guys do realize he lost his liscence to fight in California so the UFC won't touch him. Dana White's plan is to keep as many State Athletic Commissions happy as possible. He isn't gonna go against one that he worked so hard to get for a loser who cannot make weight. Gabe was a moron.

Do you really think Gabe Ruediger will never get a license again, because of his mental state; be realistic. Gabe will get another state to give him a license to fight just will have to go to a psychologist to get reevaluated. He will get another license to fight probably in California if he tries or most definitely in Las Vegas.

Because being the most loathed and despised is just as big a ticket seller as being the most loved and respected...sometimes it's an even bigger draw.
That reasoning only works if money is more important to you than showing good character. For myself, there isn't enough money in the world for me to act like him. Like I said, I would die from embarassment. I would be so disappointed in myself I wouldn't care about money at all.

He loses the respect of most MMA fans, check
He loses his license in Cali because of being mentally unfit to fight, check
He loses the respect and favor of Dana White who is quite possibly the most powerful man in MMA right now, check

Youre right this guys a ******* genius....

The CSAC is one thing and the UFC is another. Dana White made it very clear, he fucked up and no MMA fan wants to see him fight period.

Regarding the CSAC. Yes I realistically think he won't get a liscence to fight in California for atleast a couple of years. Re-watching his antics on the show and how wacko it is here in California, no I don't think he'll get a liscence in quite a while.

Maybe, maybe not. But Dana White isn't gonna hire him because one SAC won't give him a liscence otherwise he is in danger of having that right to fight in California removed. If anything, Gabe Ruedeger will continue doing smaller shows, and sometime down the line do the UFC. I'll bet it'll be a while though.

I am indifferent, except I think like many he was stupid to not make weight. Are you actually accusing me of having an agenda against Gabe Ruedeger?

But the fact is Dana White won't comprimise his good relationship with the CSAC (and possibly more because they do stick together) for 1 fighter.

Gabe fights for K-1 (not kickboxing, of course) now doesn't he? I don't think Dana will get him back unless it is for a fight with Wiman or Corey Hill. MEAT is right in a way though I mean look at Leben he sucks no one likes him but they keep him cuz of that simple reason. People either wanna see him win and shut the haters up or see him get hurt because he's a douche. I still don't think so though.

If you people dont think Gabe will end up fighting in the UFC you aren't smart enough to post in my thread. I have an IQ entry level and you have to score above drooling, pants shitting, retard to play.

Dana White and the the UFC dont give a flying fcuk about integrity or honor or sportsmanship...all they care about money. They would bring in convicted child molesters and have them fight midgets if they thought it would make them the most coin.

Gabe will be fighting soon...I guarantee it.
