Gabe Ruediger considering legal action against CSAC

Ric Gillespie posted the following earlier today.

After hearing about the decision to nix him from Saturday's K-1 show, Gabe Rudiger is said to be considering taking legal recourse against the California
State Athletic Commission, for its refusal to let him fight.

As previously mentioned, Rudiger was denied a license to fight, with the CSAC citing issues with Rudiger's mental health. While this wasn't directly expressed, it was believed said
issues stemmed from Rudiger's appearances on 'The Ultimate Fighter' (and specifically Rudiger's reaction to his being unable to make weight).

If you're unaware, Gabe was released from his UFC contract and K-1 was hoping to use him as a replacement for Javier Vazquez on Dynamite USA.

for my tired jokes, check behind the cut.



I think Gabe probably has a case. If as I've heard his physical was conducted at a Burger King on a day where they offered to upsize your order at no cost then he was probably distracted the whole time. I'm not knocking him for this either as even I, your humble author would crack in that situation.

Then again, maybe it is jokes like that which cause his mental instability. If this is the case...I'm sorry you were dumb enough to go on TV and promote yourself and end up making a fool out of yourself and subject to jokes at your expense and can't handle the consequences of the promotion you saught for yourself. Once again, I'm sorry, my bad.

I do hope this is much-a-do about nothing or if it is something serious that he gets the help he needs but some self-accountability is required.
