….. Or gets fired from UFC, depending on who you ask.
It has been reported that Starnes has opted out of his contract with UFC after a less than impressive “fight” with Nate Quarry at UFC83. Kalib spent the majority of the bout back pedaling and generally avoiding engagement with “The Rock”, eliciting Quarry’s impression of “The Running Man” and a horde of boo’s from the crowd at the Bell Center.
Why Starnes was so defensive is anyone’s guess as he has made no excuses for the loss. He certainly did not show any signs of the fighter who defeated the dangerous Chris Leben last year. Dana White (who contradicted Starnes by claiming the Middleweight was released from his contract) commented “He just doesn’t belong in the UFC and after his performance the other night, he should consider a new line of work”.
Thanks for that Dana. Very professional as always……
It’s a shame that it ends like this for Kalib as he is certainly a lot better than he showed on Saturday. UFC-Fights.com wishes Kalib success in his future endeavors.
