Gabi Garcia’s grotesque failure to make 95kg made all the big media on Thursday. She missed by 12kg which is almost unheard of.
In addition to providing a look at evidence of medical difficulty Garcia issued an emotional apology to the Japanese fans and challenged Kandori *(the 53 year old former pro wrestler) to a match next year.
This is the first time this happened in my life. I had problems, three weeks before the fight. I think I recovered. My first training here, my nose is with blood and my blood pressure. I can’t cut weight because I have many problems.
I respect her. I respect my opponent. She’s a legend here, and I’m so sad. I cry a lot because this is the first time I didn’t enter. I entered through the back.
I need to say sorry for all my fans in Japan. I love you guys. I challenge for next year for the weight. I’ll cut the weight. This happened first time, and if you need a fight with me, it will be satisfied next year. I’m so sorry Japan. I love you guys, and I’m back more strong than ever.
