Gabe deserved a lot of the crap he got here, and he knew it was coming.
This, however, is ridiculous.
Ah sure gunsmoke......very likely .....
damn. gabe is getting screwed. shove it up their asses gabe. and make it hurt.
All of the conspiracy bullshit people had previously been spouting seems to be far less ridiculous at this point.
Garcia has to go.
"You must like wasting money and losing legal arguments. Very likely a psychological evaluation of Gabe would show that he is symptomatic at the very least for depression."
There's a difference between conducting valid psychological evaluations and passing judgment based on television.
Actually, "Mental Health Specialist" is a broad term. I am a mental health specialist and not a doctor.
Personally I don't think they can refuse him but remember Oliver McCall. It happened right in the ring.
Gabe tarnished his own rep by his tv appearance.

Gimme My Cake, imo.
Why is this supposed to be amusing?
A lot of support on this thread. Who knows, this could turn out to be a good thing for him.

According to the "Americans with Disabilities Act," you can NOT administer any type of psychological medical testing in an attempt to screen out job applicants.
"Karma at it's best."
How is it karma at its best? The guy fucked up and didn't make weight. He was wrong, everyone trashed him for it and he was released from his UFC contract. He was ridiculed relentlessly on national television. Now you want him to not be able to work for any other companies?
Maybe we should just take him out back and shoot him? Would that satisfy you?

Not true in the way that you would like it to
be actually. Quite a few jobs that involve violence or security have psychological medical testing.
Guaran-damn-teed that Zuffa is the one behind this. They put Gabe on TV and made him a big star, and they don't want that investment being cashed in on by K-1. I can understand that. It's obvious.
But this is VERY gay!. Gabe is a young guy just trying to get his career back on track here. Leave him alone Dana!. Call off the goons!
If that's true it's asinine. Why would anyone consider what's shown on an edited TV over a guy's career fighting resume in determining how fit he is to fight? Crazy shit.
I wish Gabe all the best, he has my support 100%
That is just wrong. I hope it's not true, but if it is, Andy Wang may get shafted too.
Yes I am RLN. It makes sense.
I truly HATE all commissions but when you compare Keith Kizer and Armando Garcia it is embarrassing.
GARCIA IS A FUCKING DISGRACE!!!
Odessa is right. Gabe needs to get a lawyer ASAP!!!
That is fucking weak. I think Gabe looked pretty feeble on the show but it's an artificial environment that is orchaestrated to produce interesting TV.
To make a judgment on that is really ridiculous. The guy that made that judgement needs to have his head examined.
Sorry If I'm restating but I couldnt' bare to read the whole thread.
It's simple...That "Judgement" cannot be made from watching a TV show...It can't!...At all.
There is either something more to this, or this is the most colossally blatant attempt at screwing over a fighter I have ever seen. And I've seen some real doozies in my time, but this takes the proverbial cake.
Seems like the Athletic commissions are some of the most retarded people out there. They take away Nick Diaz's win over Gomi because he "looked" high during the fight and now they take away Gabe Rudiger's chance to fight based off of a reality TV show?
Thats some bull shit!
