isn't he also the guy who quit in the middle of the fight with Grove?

The guy could do a marathon running backwards.  With so much talent trying to get into the UFC, why keep a clown around?  Starnes ran from Quarry the whole fight in the ultimate snooze fest.

Very odd strategy........I wonder if he hurt something in the beginning of the fight.

Yeah. His VAGINA!

[Letmbleed]

That was horrible.  I really thought he would be a contender one day.  He seemed to have so much talent.

I believe an "Oh Snap!"  is quite appropriate in this instance.

[olFox]

the judge that had it 30-24 had it right!

I have no idea what was up with Starnes.  He has alot of skill, but seems unable to use it in the UFC!

[OBRIEN]

yea thats 15 minutes of my life i'll never get back.  does any one know of a link to the Damian Maia fight? shame that wasn't shown

[lay n pray]

He must've been injured.  If not, there's no way they should give him another fight in the UFC.  I remember after his injury on the reality show he posted on another mma forum about his injury and his thoughts on Shamrock, so maybe he'll explain what happened, or maybe someone at ATT knows? 

Quarry giving a post-fight shout out to Marco "the professor" Perazzo and Big Tim Carpenter for helping him prepare for the fight was pretty cool. 

[bjjartist]

There should have been points deducted.

The only person he needed to prepare for this fight was Lance Armstrong... and maybe a couple Kenyans.

Found this on the sherdog forum.  Not sure how accurate it is.  If it's true it's a dick thing to do to all the fans that paid for the ppv and there are better ways to voice his opinion on Dana White and Zuffa.

"Just heard Starnes on the radio station from Montreal.

Basically he sets the record straight and backs it up with proof. As many of you know this was his last fight of the UFC contract and he has always voiced his dissatisfaction with his salary. Basically after the Kendall Grove fight where his rib was broken, UFC did NOT cover any medical bills even though it happened on the "work site".

He said that he is one of the many fighters who get injured and never compensated by the UFC. He was well aware that he was on the main card because it was Canada, and this being his last fight he decided to protest in the names of all underpaid fighters and screw over the UFC.
This is NO joke because he claimed that the only reason Dana White officially released the fight bonuses was in order to counter-act the public statement that Starnes is about to make or would have made. However, since the 75k fight bonuses were disclosed Kalib's martyr actions may not be as significant.

Nevertheless, expect an official statement later this week as his gym is holding a official press conference on Wednesday. We all know that the "real" Kalib Starnes would have never fought the way he did and luckily there IS an explanation."

Isn't the medical policy known before hand? 

If this is true and if he did take a dive, he should never be allowed to fight, manage or be in the corner of another fight ever again.  No reason is good enough for defrauding everyone involved like that.

[up2me]

Thats the biggest crock of s**t i have ever heard in my life..  The guy went out in his home country and made a complete fool of himself..  What,  he thought it was a good idea to make a point about fighter salaries but at the same time loose all respect from MMA fans, the people in his country and his fellow fighters..   Thats BS..

Nate chopped his leg down..  he couldn't do s**t so he decided to run..


Hes more of pansy for giving the excuse he did..

[thebaadtouchh]

Every state commission I know about requires all fighters on a card to be covered by the events insurance policy in the case of injury. I know this is true for boxing, and don't see why it wouldn't be true for MMA.

In some cases of severe injury state commissions have been known to actually pay for medical expenses beyond those covered by the events policy.

I think if Starnes is actually going to say he had to pay his own medical bills he's BSing.
