GAbe Godzilla Ruediger
UPDATE: Ruediger has been deemed “mentally unfit” to particpate on this card by the California State Athletic Commission, according to a report from FiveOuncesOfPain.com. 

Former contestant on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 and fugu Gabe Ruediger was prematurely released from his UFC contract on May 18, according to FightNetwork.com.

Ruediger is probably best known for his infamous run on this season of the mixed martial arts reality series, during which he failed to make weight for his bout against fellow contestant Corey Hill.

Prior to imploding on the reality series, Ruediger was KOed by a body shot in his debut at UFC 63 against Melvin Guillard.

Now apparently unemployed, “Godzilla” has verbally agreed to fight Olympic medalist and K-1 veteran Katsuhiko Nagata at a future event.

How Ruediger will fair in K-1 is anybody’s guess, but fighting at a catch weight of 161 pounds gives him a greater margin for error when it comes time to cut.

Fans of Ruediger (I’m sure they’re out there somewhere) can check out all the latest at his official Web site. While it still lists last year’s match against Guillard as “breaking news,” it’s still worth the trip to see this gem:

Swift as the wind
Silent as the forest
Fierce as fire
Immovable as a mountain

Folks, some people just bring it upon themselves.

He needs to chill..the display of character he put on TUF show should ban him from MMA period. He’s a loser..but a winner in gaining weight. Fat boy go home.

I ran into Ruediger at the gym and this must be rescent news because he told me that he definetly had no idea of when he would fight again. Although he totally embarassed himself on the show….he’s a pretty nice guy

I dont know him personally, but i can easily say i hate him as a fighter. i wouldnt even watch him fight if he paid me to sit there and watch. i would just be like fuk u dick. hes a waste of space and i can never respect someone like that, even if he is a so called fighter(cause usually i have respect for anyone who would step in an octagon) but not this guy.

Your all right it’s hard to respect a guy like this, but like I mentioned before it’s not in my nature to give someone shit for there fall. I’m sure he gets enough everywhere else he goes….LOL

Yeah it’s brand new stuff. Apparently there’s only a verbal agreement at this point and nothing on paper. Big surprise *rolls eyes*. K1 is such a gong show.

I still say that if he would have made weight, he would have destroyed Corey Hill.

Its not a matter of hating him or not hating him for me. I dont even care that he didnt make wait. It all comes down to his bad performance against Guillard and the shenanigans on the show. Not necessarily the missing the weight, but the drama that he created all around him during that process.

His belly really is his achilles heal, and not just in TUF.

He took all those shots to the head in UFC63 and wasn’t phased. In round two, he gets taken out by a punch to the “GABS”. Any one else ever see a belly shot end a UFC fight?

What a fat bitch.

Let him get his head kicked off in K-1. You think you don’t have enough discipline for mma so you go to K1? That’s a funny guy.

I thought he could have had a better attitude in the house. Maybe he was just trying to get some T.V time.

I 100% agree with you there. Like him or not he does have skills. That’s why he’s frustrated everyone so much.

A question: St. Amour, when are you graduating from elementary school? Enjoy shitting on yourself…

Cant talk shit about him ‘destroying’ anyone when he couldnt even get his ass in the ring. He lost in his own damn head (and jeans) weeks before that show even started.

I have talked to Gabe many times and he is a good guy and a great fighter. I feel bad that he is going through so much crap right now. He is really talented but he did screw up, but who hasnt made a bad mistake in their life?? Cut him some slack you guys.

I agree to a certain point. he did mess up. but i think why he got he contract taken away is because of all the attention he attracted to himself when he didn’t make weight. he he wouldn’t have started crying and all that BS and would have realized his mistake and had taken it like a man i bet Dana White would have forgave and forgot. he wouldn’t have had to take them test and he would still be in the UFC right now.

and he could have still got his lazy ass down i weight. he had like what 3 weeks 4 weeks to get the weight down? come on. and whats easier than sitting in a hot box? maby even ride a bike in there. thats all he had to do and he took it like a bitch. and its not like it would be hard for him to loose the weight ether. he is a chubby dude so its easy for him to loose weight. now Cory is a riped dude with almost no body fat he had a little more excuse. but he did what he had to do and lost his weight. Gabe was being fat a lazy. I’m a wrestler so i know about loosing weight. its easier for fat people to loose wight. I’m not fat. i am pretty riped myself and i can loose about 5 pounds in 2 hours easily. and thats without all the equipment that he had. all i have is a big mat in a big room.

Maybe he is a great guy and fighter. But that’s not the point. It’s rare in life that such a golden opportunity presents itself so blatantly. He knew it and basically tapped out before the show even started. Better to compete and lose than not compete at all. Now he has the rest of his life to wonder what if. And as he squandered this, there was a fighter somewhere who wouldn’t have. That’s why people can’t stand him.
