Bubba_Sparks Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Most associate Gabe Ruediger with one thing; failing to make weight on TUF by eating too much cake and stumbling nakedly out of the sauna "as if he was in Africa" (~BJ Penn). However, he is a former WEC champion - should he get some more respect? Let's look at his record. Went 5-1 against un-wikipediaed fighters. Beat the then 4-3 (now 8-12) Olaf Alonso to take the vacant WEC LW belt Defended it twice against more un-wikipediaed fighters, before losing it to Hermes Franca (fat, 23-16, although he did once beat Nate Diaz) Gabe then fought and lost to Melvin Guillard in the UFC before amassing a 7-2 run (the 2 losses being his only fights against fighters with a wiki page. He then came back to the UFC, gave Joe Lauzon a cake and promptly found himself on the receiving end of a Boston beatdown. A further loss to Paul Taylor saw Gabe booted out of the UFC, finishing with a paltry 0-3 UFC record and 2-6 wikipedia record. My verdict is that the community's view of Gabe is just about spot on. It's all about the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyWang Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I met Gabe on the floor after UFC 118 when Joe Lauzon ragdolled him, I just said what up while he seemed to want to continue talking to me. He looked lost as I walked away, as if he didnt know to go take a seat somewhere or go home. Like a lost child in a department store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture him standing there alone, eyes welling up with tears, wanting to shout "I'm Godzilla dammit!" *Godzilla Scream* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
