A great night of fights took place last night at UFC 83: “Serra vs. St. Pierre 2;” however, Kalib Starnes apparently didn’t get the memo.
terrible showing by kalib
firsttttt
congrats on being the first douche to type something about this post
NOTE TO DANA WHITE. I WILL NEVER PAY FOR ANOTHER UFC PPV WITH KALIB ON THE FIGHT CARD, HOPE OTHERS AGREE
Watched the event live at home in Plymouth (England) (at a shocking time of day) and was disgusted by this muppets antics! This guy has no pride, if he came to Plymouth and asked for a fight and ran away, everyone would chase him down and beat the crap out of the pussy!!!! If i see his name on a fight card again, I’ll be sure not purchase the ppv…shocking!!!
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.
Big difference - Hominick was avoiding take downs and swept Gurgel several times. He used his Muay Thai against a BJJ black belt and beat him fair and square. Get serious, nobody is going to be afraid of Gurgel. Especially after his performance on TUF when he got destroyed by Jason VF and he revealed his serious man crush on Rich Franklin?!?!?!?!?!?
“IF I CAN CHANGE THEN YOU CAN CHANGE..EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!”
lol classic.that was some funny shit
That was the funniest moment of the night. The whole crowd started laughing.
Yeah, he’s usually a bit deadpan but that was v funny. He pulled off the impression well, straight faced and everything. Adrian!!!!!!!
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!!
yup, Kalib brought it all on himself…Canadians apreciate true fighters, thats why he got booed, and the American(Quarry) got cheered.
Also, Danzig got cheered and he beat a Canadaian, but the difference is, the fans still cheered Bocek, because he fought a tuff fight, and never quit, until it was over…Kalib quit before the fight started..What a bitch..
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 damn near fell to the floor when he did that!!!! I remember immitating that back in the day!
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.
Dude, don’t take it so personally. Quarry’s performance was great and his antics were very entertaining…you must be a sour because you like Starnes. Grow up!
I don’t think you can fault Quarry at all for his actions. He’s a professional and came to fight. Kalib Starnes should probably have his purse withheld and read the riot act by Dana White. I’d put him on warning that if he’d pull that crap one more time, his UFC career would be over. Thank you, Nate, for at least making the end of the fight entertaining.
Why should he have respect for kalib? All he did was run away and Nate was just pointing that out. If Kalib didnt like it then he should of punched him in the head while he was doing the screech or the running man. Nate was trying to put on a show and if Kalib wasnt willing to fight then I say mock all you want.
Lack of class?? You’re not serious. Quarry was trying to bait Starnes into actually fighting. Instead, when he got pissed he still had had the opportunity to punch his opponent but instead he kept running and gives him the finger.
If Starnes goes on to win 100 fights in a row and impresses endlessly, he should still not be allowed back in the octogon.
It was not a lack of class by Quarry but frustration and an attempt to coax action to get people what they paid for. That is why he did it then in retrospect apologized for his actions. And the Rocky speech at the end made it the best post-fight interview of all time.
heh dude u must like kalib to say he was disrespectful, kalib was sooooo scared so he ran like a little girl, Nate made the fight a fun fight to watch, his antics were hilarious, kalib only made himself look more stupid when he flicked him off and then was all pissed off that everyone was making fun of him for his horrible, im so scared performance lol
Yea dana should go to kalib and tell UFC doesnt have a place for fighters like him him, well i wouldnt call Kalib a fighter in this match
You’ve got to be kidding me. Quarry antics were the best part of this crappy card. Don’t fault Quarry for being upset, he chased the guy for 3 rounds, on his turf nonetheless…I HOPE for his sake Kalib broke a hand or something??? Yet Vera did more when he broke his hand against Sylvia…the judges got this one right.
Did you really mean all that? Or, were you just trying to get a reaction. Cause that was the funniest thing I’ve seen in MMA! Starnes has got to be hiding under some rock today. The largest PPV in MMA history, fighting in the motherland, and the crowd cheers for the American. Yeah, Kalibs got to be hurtin.
meant to reply to original comment by mmamazing. My bad & I hate this new format!
bro whats you’re problem? you’re the only one who’s got a negative coomment about that, you’re very serious,you idint even know that that was a very funny stuff. grow up boy
Look, quarry had ample reason to pull those antics in the first round, but he chose to try and FIGHT. After 3 rounds of not being able to fight, he resorted to the only tactic that might have worked…..belittle the other fighter into putting his purse down, dropping his balls out finally, forgetting his gushing head vag, and fighting back. But Kalib was ‘protesting’ low fighter pay……sure.
“Low class kalib”. It was insulting to see such bull, and even more insulting to hear him come up with some some ‘on-the-fly, think-something-up-so-I-don’t-look-so-bad” excuse. I have not interest in seeing him fight, and since I live in Vancouver, I hope I never runn into him in person, I’m a pretty honest person, but also pretty small. I can definitely right off training at Revolution, Kalib really represented for them poorly. He alienates ATT, then makes his Surrey ifhgt team look soft.
“Oh man, my dog ate my homework!”
“my car wouldn’t start!”
“I left my balls in my other fight bag!”
Great clip!
what a pussy. PLEASE DANA WHITE, FIRE THIS ASSHOLE.
2nd that. A fighter in his home country running away was embarressing. Tear his contract up now.
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.
Agreed.
Worst card ever?? WOW, really shows how long you have been watching the UFC… Which season of TUF did you begin? Season four?
Probably closer to the first UFC- and then he never grew out of the whole street brawl feel like everyone else.
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.

Great clip! Starnes basically disrespect the sport by that performance…turning his back away from his opponent for taking a jab, wtf…. That home country advantage back fired on him…Got to be more professional than that. That’s what Serra thought Rush would be, overwhelmed of the pressure in front of his home crowd.
Funny though how Nate has the nerve to taunt and talk trash, but he’s the posterboy of getting KTFO..ala Rich Franklin. He’s 36 years old and acted like a 16 year old..frustration I guess for dealing with a puss like Starnes????
LOL, I wish I could have watched, but Zuffa was all over your ass.
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.
the Kalib Starnes on TUF 3 surrendered because he allegedly hurt his rib against Kendal grove.
the same Kalib Starnes that literally turned and ran away from Yushin Okami?
This guy has no heart
of course they are top 8 middleweights. The UFC only has 8 middleweights. lol. In all seriousness though, Kalib is done. We will never see him fight in the UFC again. When Dana makes a decision he sticks to it. This is the same pussy that quit on the TUF show. Are we really that surprised? Nate looked like a beast. Excellent shape and very aggressive. Possibly the meanest Jehovah’s Witness on the planet

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.
Neither Starnes nor his corner has any right to be upset at anything Quarry did. The guy was running for his life for 15 minutes, and Quarry called him on it. I credit Quarry for doing everything in his power to entertain the viewers. Unfortunately, it takes two people to have a fight. If Starnes doesn’t like being mocked he can always choose to stand and fight.
The Youtube video is classic! “I should have been kicking him in the calves more so he couldn’t back up!” That’s awesome!
I’m glad you like it. Its my first attempt at video editing not just using pics.
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.
Yeah this was one of the most lack luster cards I’ve seen in a while. Starnes 100m dash, Lutter passing out in the octagon, GSP pulling a Matt Hughes style humpfest on Serra, and Mccarthy giving up after a couple dozen knees to the forearms.
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.
I agree. Except there were no great moments on this card. Except for Quarry’s antics & Rocky 4 quote. Dana better learn from this.
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
Blame the ufc? Idiot. How are they supposed to know that a fighter is going to perform like that? They are just as perturbed as all the viewers. More so. We could at least get a laugh from Quarry’s taunts. They have to pay Starnes (presumably).
Lutter is an even bigger disappointment though IMO. How could he gas like that after not doing enough cardio last time to make weight? If he had been in shape that would have been a really good fight. Hell, he almost hit the armbar. Too bad he couldn’t make it a fight after the 1st.
Yeah, agreed, i hate Lutter so much.
Dude has got a lot of ability and was bossing the fight with Franklin until he gassed. How can someone who is proably on $100k a fight (including sponsership and stuff) come into a fight so out of shape?
I think its discusting, i’m in better shape than him and i do a lot of hours at work and drink a hell of lot of beer!
Starnes vs Lutter = a dead heat, Starnes would run away and Lutter would be too fat to catch him. Draw without a punch thrown.
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 hate that Leben lost to this guy. I bet Leben is pissed to have that loss on his record after this!
Starns shouldn’t even get the money for showing up, I say dock his pay for that poor ass proformance.
I’m sure Leben is mad to have this loss on his record. I mean, I’M even made that this loss in on Leben’s record - and this was PRIOR to Kalib’s fight with Quarry.
The Starnes/Leben fight was soooooo lackluster. If Leben was even 1/10th of himself he would have won.
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.
(Charles Barkley voice)
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
