FightMobile on my cell says Dana was so pissed @ gabe he terminated his contract . I totally agree , he was a complete joke on Tuf. He said himself he wanted airtime to get noticed (with all the cutting weight crap). What do you think , good decision or not ?

Just remeber many people calling gabe and chump havent seen most of his fights. He is a very good striker. If he had made weight who knows he might have beat Corey.
He was dramiatic on the show. but when it came to cutting weight i think he really wante dit but jsut couldntmanage to do it

That's the big problem... if this was that Lobster guy or Mike Stine type who had no future in the sport it wouldn't be such a huge topic, but the fact someone with talent and potential that Gabe had tanked his own career like that just makes it more pathetic.

I think he would have beat Corey, but instead he can fight in small shows for the rest of his life selling what little fame he has.

I thought he came across as a heartless pussy. There had to be guys out there dying to get on the show that would have been ready.
I really wanted to see him get punched out.
