Gabi Garcia’s mma endeavours seem tragicomic. The bjj giant has a contract with Rizin – however much like when she tried Shoot boxing she seems unaware of the actual rules. At 95 kg Garcia comes in a good 12 kg heavier than her middle aged opponent however at 107 she’s flat out huge in comparison.
女子95kg契約、神取忍は73.75kgでクリアしましたが、ギャビ・ガルシアは107.7kgと大幅オーバー。神取は「人としてどうなんだ。人生賭けてんだ」と激怒し退室。榊原代表「基本的に競技として成立しない。プロとしてあるまじき行為です。神取さんとも話をしてどうするか発表します」 pic.twitter.com/YFUYYL6y0Z

Just as scripted– I mean in a shocking turn of events Gabi Garcia came in at 107 for a 95kg bout, making Sakakibara threaten to cancel this prow–totally legit Mma bout https://t.co/EZp7BgufdE

According to the Rizin podcast account Gabi should be rematching Lei D Tapa instead. She made her debut against Tapa back in 2015. Garcia defeated Tapa in the first round by TKO.
Here’s Garcia at 95kg just for the sake of comparison:
It took Gabi missing by 26 lbs to realize this was a disgrace? https://t.co/HwFNV9mkzZ
