Kalib Starnes can run like the wind blows!

terrible showing by kalib

firsttttt

he should tryout for track and field

I didn’t get a chance to watch the event but from the short clip its apparent that Kalib is SCARED of fighting, that performance should never allow him back into the octagon.

Run little birdie, run!

Starns got his strategy from Mark Hominick (vs George Gurgel at UFN 5). Also its a given there is always at least one sucky fight every PPV.

“IF I CAN CHANGE THEN YOU CAN CHANGE..EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!”

Good bye and good ridance Kalib! I don’t think getting all rugged with the crowd made you look all BADD. Your perfomance made you look bad all on it’s own!!

he should switch to nascar he went fast and turned left

never allow him in the ring again. Giant pussy. He was running around the ring looking for his balls.

Hilarious stuff, last part was even funnier. Good fucking job Nate!

lol nate quarry did the whole thing screech did in save by the bell by putting a hand on his face to block punches and the stuck the other arm thru it to swing around and block his mouth!!! lmao!

I completely agree that it was an extremely poor showing by Kalib. I’m surprised, though, that there isn’t more talk of Quarry’s actions. He displayed a complete lack of class when he taunted Starnes with the running man and the aforementioned “Screech” manuever. I bet if Rogan would have been there, he would have commented on it; certainly not in keeping with the idea of Budo. And then for Quarry to preface some of his comments in the after-fight interview with "no disrespect to Kalib. . . " Left a bad taste in my mouth. I say feed Quarry to Silva; that will teach him some respect.

Great clip!

what a pussy. PLEASE DANA WHITE, FIRE THIS ASSHOLE.

Kalib Starnes is finished, the UFC doesn’t need fighters like him!!

how bout the judge with the 30-24 score. awesome

Mania, you need to make a gif of him with his hand over his face too.

A great night of fights? You’ve got to be kidding me! That was the worst card I’ve seen in my life and played out exactly to form. Let’s be honest here, the main event was a mismatch and now all the Serra backers can stfu.

Anyone who faults Quarry in any way shape or form needs to watch that fight again. What do you want him to do? It was like watching Rocky chase the Chicken and he just couldn’t catch him. With a performance like this, at least we know Starnes will be fighting for a title in EliteXC soon.

I think Quarry looked absolutly incredible last night, and I think a Michael Bisping vs. Nate Quarry match-up really needs to happen, considering they are both in the top 8 middleweights.

Kalib Starnes, had to be hurt, sick, or completely scared, because that was not the Kalib Starnes that I have seen since TUF 3 where he quit in his fight. He did not look confident, and he looked completely shell shocked.

I have to admit, I laughed out loud, but looking back, I think Nate may have taken it a little too far. He seemed a little regretful of his antics after he saw how upset Starnes and his corner were. Funny stuff though. I think there may be more to this story that will come out later. At any rate, expect the UFC to release Starnes from his contract.

The Youtube video is classic! “I should have been kicking him in the calves more so he couldn’t back up!” That’s awesome!

Kalib is such a pussy……..the whole time I was watching the fight last I kept thinking about Dana ripping up his contract……………..

Thanks Mania…GIF of the year..lmao

Sorry kalib, but that was not a fight.

I better not ever see Starnes in the ufc ever again. Never. His showing last night was the most disrespectful performance, yes even more than Lutter not making weight, I’ve ever seen in the UFC. I guarantee you Dana White was on the phone with his manager “releasing” him from his contract
seconds after that fight was over.
I’m very interested to hear Dana’s comments about Starnes in the days to come.
If there was ever a mental midget, it is Starnes.

Starnes is going to participate in Beijing 2008 at 100 m.

This was a great card, and nate quarry wasn’t classless in his actions with the running man and screech. That was pretty funny, and running away is all Kalib frickin’ did for THE WHOLE THREE ROUNDS!!! I don’t blame Quarry a bit.

Another good matchup for Quarry would be Jason MacDonald, who has finished any fighter in the UFC who was NOT a title contender (franklin and okami, two contender worthy fighters, have beat him, while “The Athlete” has FINISHED Herman, Leben, Singer, and now Doerkson). I’d pay to see that interesting fight.

Kalib Starnes needs to be cut from the UFC today! Someone on here says he has no heart, that is a complete understatement, this guy has no spine! To come into a fight and not fight, this guy is here simply to collect a paycheck. Dana cut this coward now and let some hungry real fighter come in. If this were a real world job this slacker would have been fired long ago. I like the fact that he was talking trash to Nate Quarry’s cornerman after the fight and calling him out. Dude, where was that fight the last fifteen minutes?! What a chump, no what a Bitch!

Congratulations to Nate “Rock” Quarry on a great fight and also showing this “wannabe” up and exposing the world, especially his home country, to what a home grown coward really looks like!

waste of time

Wow…lol…never liked this arrogant piece of sh—t since TUF. The only thing he’s good at is taking a beating, getting injured, and making his opponents look good. Nate is one of my favorite fighters, and for those puss-es out there to take Kalib’s side, you should have your heads checked. Kalib’s is just a jerk who is hated by so many people for his rotten, egotisitical attitude. I remember his last fight where he even cursed out his own corner crew for wanting him to keep fighting when he wanted to quit. The guy hasn’t proven squat in the UFC and is/ hopefully was apparently a top guy on Joe Silva’s list that earned the right to fight Quarry. A pathetic joke this guy is who had the nerve to call out Nate’s corner. Yes Kalib, not everyone has the guts to get in there and fight but apparently, you don’t either, but you seem to get paid for it, so do your f—ing job and entertain us, otherwise…go do some other sh-t with your life.

The UFC should do what Pride did.Take $$$$ away from the fighters who run,stall,don’t perform.

Kalib is a piece of junk. He wasted time that a real fighter could of used. The guy is clown, and it appears Ken Shamrock was right about the wanker all along. Kalib, go to hell.

“A great night of fights? You’ve got to be kidding me! That was the worst card I’ve seen in my life and played out exactly to form.”

I don’t about the worst card but it was subpar for sure.

He kinda looked tough running that good after taking relentless kicks to the leg….who I’m I kidding that was sad, very sad.

Should’ve trade this bout for Doerksen vs MacDonald which resulted in a knockout by MacDonald. Why the hell Kalib sign to fight Nate, waste of show and a bit waste of pay per view income.

MMA is has arrived for sure, and now it’s time to weed out fighters like Starnes, Lutter and McCarthy — or at least not put them at the top of a card.

If Dana and other orgs want to continue growing, cards need to be topped with fighters who bring it and don’t gas after one round.

There were some great moments in this card, but overall it was pretty mediocre.

This was so disrepectful to the fans to have to pay for this fight and i blame UFC for putting up this fight and ofcourse the fighter. what a joke

For anyone saying Quarry was being a fool or disrespectful are idiots. He was merely trying to get Starnes fired up to do something!!! He got a 30-24 ffs! He walked around the ring urkel style and Starnes still ran!! What else could Quarry do?? He pretty much gave Starnes free-will the last ten seconds to do what he wanted to him, and he still ran away. What a fucking joke. He literally looked like he was someone that was pulled out of the crowd and was trying to survive the clock. He knew he was losing that fight in the second round, and still did nothing to change that. Starnes can give me 1/5th of what I paid for the PPV back. 2/5ths if you throw in Charles Mccarthy. Jesus, that guy looked pitiful.

yeah what a waste of an opponent for Nate. Have someone that wants to fight in there. Kalib was still running when Nate tied up one of his arms and was chasing him down….hilarious, but also very embarrassing showing by Kalib. Time to rethink your career.

hahaha quarry is goddamn hilarious

Kalib, I’ve got a phrase you need to learn: “Would you like fries with that”

Done, Finished, Stick a Fork in Him.

No one will want to sign him. He embarrassed himself and the UFC. Quarry should have been a little classier, but in the same situation would I have done anything different? Not likely.

Story behind Kalib Starnes running away:

Al-Quida placed a nuclear device in his jock and body sensors all over him. If one of those sensors got hit, BLAMO!!!

Kalib is a hero.

the other guy

Starnes embarrassed a whole nation as well as himself, I hope he never fights on PPV again. Atleast if was afraid of losing he could trading some punches and if he got knocked out, who cares, he would have atleast shown up!!

I love Nate Quarry. That has to be one of the best MMA moments I’ve seen. I thought the running man was funny but then to pull off the “screech” move and Kalib not even throw a punch back was HILARIOUS!! I look forward to Nate’s next match.

Now does anyone realize why Leben wasnt able to knock this guy out, I think Starnes needs to go to hollywood and see if anyone is interested in doing a remake of The Running Man…..

I can’t believe Kalib. I would have gained back some small respect for him if he had one timed Quarry while he was doing the Skreech move. It would have been great if the first 14 minutes had led up to a devastating knock out in the last moments, but it still was a crap fight.

He should never fight in the UFC again.

I’m surprised anyone here thinks we’ll ever see Starnes again in the Octagon. If you’ve seen enough TUF and interviews with Dana White, you have to know that he won’t stand for that kind of embarrassment. His running during the fight was bad enough, but his post-fight immaturity sealed the deal. As far as Quarry, can you blame him? More importantly, do you think White would? I couldn’t help but thinking “Quarry just made himself a star, and Starnes is finished” right after the fight. The only slim chance I could see Starnes staying around is because everyone is going to boo him mercilessly now, and Joe Silva could match him up with somebody else the UFC wants to help build up as a star.

Last night when i watched the fight i was pissd cos he was wastn my time and my money to watch but when you look back now it’s actually quite funny one man sprinting after another in circles….:)

ufc must be done with starnes

other guys have disappeared after better performances than that

dana will have given him a verbal assault

charles mc carthy and lutter both looked poor
no heart
no real place in ufc

bit of a dissappointing event

bisping looked very good
great handspeed
franklin did enough to win(basically take the fight over 5 minutes)
GSP had a smart gameplan and executed it
the fight isnt going to go down as a classic but GSP used the perfect risk free method of beating a guy hed previously lost to

YES!!! I’m last suckers! that is, until someone posts another comment :p

Why did Starnes flip him off instead of punching him in the face! What a puss

I haven’t read any of the other posts, but I bet he’ll never be back in the UFC after being booed like that in his own country. I can’t believe one judge scored it 30-24. That’s terrible, just terrible.

Show the ending when Nate put his hand on this face and tried to face fence Kalib!

Dear Kalib,

I am so glad you were on the main card and on such a huge ppv. Now we will never have to hear you run your mouth with so much energy, after you quit once again, in another fight. I hope you got paid alot to show for this one cause I am pretty sure it will be a while before your next paycheck. Good Luck finding someone to sign you now, you pathetic joke of a man!

Take Care,
Adam

Kalib Starnes sucks to begin with, I never liked that guy.. if I was in his corner I’d of felt like walking away and never cornering him again.

I picked Kalib to win….glad I didn’t bet on it, but I’m still very very ashamed. Oh well, guess it wasn’t as terrible prediction as picking Serra to win like a lot of people did. Nate looked sloppy in his 1st fight back, but he looked great last night.

i’m glad quarry pulled those antics, otherwise that would have been the most boring 15 minutes of my life.

My grandma could have put up a better fight than Kalib. No Joke.

if kalib was scarred or didn’t want to fight he could of got on the ground and tapped out…if it would of been me i would of rather get knocked out then have me look like a complete ass on live PPV running like a pussy!

kalib got paid money to go in there and fight,and people paid to see a fight,that was bullshit,theres plenty of people willing to put there ass on the line and put on a good show and fight and get knocked out! if he is scarred to get hit then he shouldn’t be in ufc!

but i feel bad for him,i wish him luck,cause he’ll never get a chance of a lifetime like he just lost!

Man, Kalib has got to be the most hated guy in Canada right now… I hope he doesn’t kill himself… (struggling not to giggle)

He was a joke on TUFgiving up the op. for a six figure contract-And he has been a joke against real competition. The only sad part is he holds wins over Jason Macdonald and Chris Leban. He had the nerve to flick off his home crowd and Quarrys corner man. I thnk only one person of these 80 comments or so think Quarry was disrespectful. I think Starnes was more disrespectful by not engaging and taking $11.23 of our $44.95, especially now that the economy is so crappy. With all the nungry fighters out there we were graced with Kaleb Starnes spineless 15 minutes. I wish we had gotten to see Ed Herman and Demian Meia instead…

I can only sum up how I feel in my article. If you would like, head over to Madness and read it. And of course I lead right out with Starnes :)

I’m a bit surprised that know one has even thought that the fight may have been fixed. Yeah I know it sounds a bit crazy at first but if you watch the fight for a second time it was almost like kalib gave him the fight on purpose. I pray that the ufc doesn’t turn out to be like boxing but kalib might have really needed some money or thought he was going to lose anyway.

Something to think about at least.

i told my buddy that night that there are probably 2 guys out of the ufc now. Starnes and Lutter. Starnes will obviously be gone, but i think after the layoff he got for not making weight and then gassing like he did i don’t know how many more chances they will give Lutter.

Wow! alot of hate for Kalib…Can’t say I blame anyone, because that was just pathetic of him to backpedal the whole fight…

LOL. Kalib got the UFC record for 1st time a judge has ever given a 10-8 every round…haha

I know this is a non-factor but the reason Kalib was running was because his left leg was torn up from all the leg kicks that he took from Nate. Period. He was immobilized, he did not tap, and Nate could not knock him out so he just backed away at every exchange.

Believe me, a lot of people would react the same way if you were in his shoes because essentially your options are extremely limited after you take one too many leg kicks. When you’re the a hole like Kalib was, its either back away and pray for the bell, switch stances, or move forward and risk being knocked out, or tap.

Kalib, dude thought he gets paid per round.

I hope that Kalib comes out to say that he had just broke his hand 3 days before the fight, or his arm or SOMETHING! I can’t think of any other reason that a pro fighter would run away like that.

this is form sherdog not me

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.

I’m going to make a fight suggestion.

Quarry vs Bisping.

ViolentMike what do you think?

I’m a Canadian and I have to say that after that performance I would let Kalib out of his contract. That was just shit.

Kalib Starnes did comment about his in his last fight. He said that he lost $1000.

AND THESE ARE THE FUTURE FIGHTERS FOR THE UFC..dana your a dumb ass keep up the great up and commers……..for track and field that is.

As a Canadian i would have him deported. You listening Stephen Harper? I said it before as well… Nate Quarry is the toughest Jehova’s Witness on the planet. Kalib was pissed that the UFC refused to help him with the massive gash he got in the last fight. I can see why he is pissed considering they gave Shogun an orthopedic surgeon for his knee as well as other medical help. So fight your last fight on your contract and move to another organization if you think the grass is greener. If you want greener gas go join Elite and see Nick Diaz

it’s funny that he flipped quarry off. he could have… punched him!

Kalib sucks but Nate has to learn how to cut off the Ring, you ant going to catchno one following them around.

Kalib should never be allowed to fight in UFC again.
Nate made the fight and showed real class and in the third showed what the fight was.
Great aggression and technique for what he had to chase to get.

No one listen to Kalib (I can’t stand him, personally)for 2 months before the fight? He consistently undermined the UFC for the same reasons Randy Couture did. I agree that if he felt as Mr. Couture then he should’ve retired. He didnt want to retire and Dana White, going back to his boxing days, will not void a fighters’ contract . Dana is notorious for signing fighters to exclusive multi-fight contracts without expiration then never giving them their last fight. So they’re under contract, but unable to fight, without him. Re: IBF vs Dana White 1999 Superior Court State of Nevada. Durng Kalib’s radio interview before the fight he dogged the UFC for not having health coverage or assisting him with medical bills and dropping the hint this would be his last UFC fight and why not CBS demands liabilty and fight night health coverage from EliteXC along with fighter friendly contracts. Unless the UFC steps up headlining fighters will continue to move to EliteXC. Sean McCanus, head of CBS sports, mention that its partnership with EliteXC was attractive because EliteXC is working diligently to secure a New Years Eve MMA match between the two most recognized fighters in MMA,. I think he meant Fedor Vs. Couture. If you ever wonder why Fedor wont fight in the UFC its because he refuses to sign a 3 fight deal.

I am not defending Kalib at all, but what Quarry did was not in keeping with the Budo and sportsman like spirit of the sport. I am training as a fighter and I don’t care what anyone says, antics like that do not belong in the UFC or the sport for that matter. I used to like Kalib before this fight, I was extremely dissapointed with this fight. I hope for his sake that he was hurt or trying to make some sort of statement, because that is not the type of fighter that Starnes actually is, he is normally very good, I have seen him fight in other venues than the UFC and he has always fought very hard. Just my .02

I watched the fight again… and I now see what Kalib Starnes was trying to do. He was trying to be like Jesus. Although he may have not openly admited this, post fight, his actions have brought to light the “poor” conditions that fighters incur with UFC contracts ie. lack of medical coverage. He so whole heartedly believes in this that he is willing to Martyr his career in MMA. His complete lack of offense during the fight furthers this theory… he didn’t want to hurt Nate Quarry. I was pissed off about his performance on UFC83 but you have to give him credit for willingly ruining his carrer on live television. The truth is he shouldn’t fight anymore. He should work for an insurance company working with fighters, promotion companies and Athletic commissions so that fighters can have a better medical coverage. There are so many people out there right now crucifying Starnes without realizing that he may be the Messiah of Fighters.

Dont want to say anything bad about the fighters, im sure he trained very hard for this fight and sacrificed alot, however he didnt show up to fight that night, in fact that is how i would have fought if I was suddenly yanked from the crowd and thrusted in the octagon against a UFC fighter and told “FIGHT!”. Id be like “get fucked man, im not tradin with this fella!” Im not gonna rip on him like all you guys are, im sure he feels bad enough as it is, at the end of the day, i couldnt live with myself if i wasted an opportunity to put it all on the line in the octagon in front of the biggest crowd in UFC history, but then again, im not gonna say anything bad at all about Kalib because a) it is not my position to and b) im sure he is beating himself up about it anyway.

ANYONE who bags Quarry for his antics has no sense of humor at all. Quarry ROCKS!

if you want bushido crap for karate kid movie night and kata practice. These guys are paid to bludgeon faces, break limbs, and deny oxygen. If Kalib didn’t like the ufc contract well now he’s out, let’s see what type of healthcare the barnyard mma event in no where canada is gonna give him. The truth is the UFC is the highest paying mma org out there now. Bodog is gone, IFL is dying and if Elite doesn’t pull huge numbers on may 31 the rumor is they’re done. In an interview Kalib says he hurt his foot rnd 1 and the leg strikes didn’t help. he runs well with a broken foot. Silvia shattered his forarm and didnt want to stop fighting. looks like Kalib has to get a real job now hope he likes minimum wage.

but could Starnes have run away from Anderson Silva????
