Gabe Ruediger Ultimater Fighter Interview

Sept 20, 2006 Gabe “Godzilla” Ruediger was center of attention on The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 on Spike TV but all that attention wasn’t positive. After failing to make weight for his fight with Corey Hill Gabe was kicked off the show by UFC president Dana White and has received public criticism from his fellow cast members. Gabe responds to these comments, talks about his training at Team Quest and responds to Forum Member questions.

Brad Doerges – Are you training for your fight coming up on UFC Fight Night?

Gabe Ruediger – I can’t comment on that right now. I am training at Team Quest right now I can tell you that.

Brad – How is training at Team Quest south?

Gabe – Phenominal. We just did nine 5 minute rounds of MMA. Killing each other. It has been really intense lately because Jason Mayhem Miller and Art Santore have been training for their fights in the WEC. Even thought they aren’t training any more Brian Foster is getting ready for the IFL. My self and David Gardner are both fighting in June. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou is also training for his fight in July. It’s basically a fight factory; couldn’t ask for a much better training environment

Brad – What’s with all the Upsets coming out of Team Quest?
