Gabe Should be Sponosored by McDonalds - TUF Recap

It's time for another recap of tonight's episode of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV. For the sake of readablity, I've kept things short and to the point. The episode starts off with a training session with Team Penn. During training Tony DeSouza gets annoyed because Noah isn't taking training seriously enough. His frustration come to a head when DeSouza rolls with Noah. Tony is overly agressive and absolutely dominates Noah as he tries to prove a point. Back at the house, Gabe Ruediger stuffs his face with cake which of course serves as foreshadowing. At fight selection, Corey Hill calls out Gabe to fight, no surprise. Gabe grabs a crate and stands on it so that he can look down on the much taller Hill. Gabe thinks he is funny. He comments during one of the show's interview that he could see fear in Corey's eyes. Now that the fight is set, Gabe talks about how much more ring experience he has over Corey. Gabe has 12 MMA fights while Corey only has 4. No surprise, Mr. Pudgy Gabe needs to cut weight, a lot of weight. Gabe is confident that he can do it with his training methods which consist of walking on a treadmill and sitting on the ground covered with towels. With 2 hours left before weigh-in he's at 162, 7lbs overweight. Penn get's Gabe's dumb ass back to the house and in the sauna. Penn pushes Gabe to ride the exercise bike while in the sauna. It's pretty brutal, a la Bobby Southworth from past TUF season. Gabe gives up after getting down to 159lbs, passes out, and goes to the hospital. While gone, the entire house talks shit about Gabe and how he disrespected his team and that he doesn't belong and he shouldn't have been shoveling cake down his piehole while the rest have been training so hard. Most feel that he was ducking Corey because he really wanted to take on weaker fighter Weems. Gabe tells the guys that he is sorry but they want none of it. He instantly becomes an outcast. Dana joins teams back to the gym and says that nothing pisses him off more than fighters not making weight. Dana then tells Gabe has no future in the sport and that his career is over and in front of the rest of the fighters kicks his ass off the show. Gabe cries as he leaves. Dana brings Emerson (who is visibly appreciative of the opportunity) back because he is the first alternate. In exchange, Dana allows Team Pulver to pick the next two fights. Brian Geraghty picks Jon Lauzon. Corey Hill picks Rob Emerson. Next week both fights will be shown during one episode to make up for not having a fight on tonight's show.
