		<description>Yes! he should of pulled out.
he could of done lots of things and still walked away with respect..
Pulling out and fighting later..
Fighting a hard fight, even if he got KO'd..
as long as a fighter gives it his all, I respect them, and this pussy just ran like a fool.</description>

		<description>It is still a fight.  Even in the most cautious an conservative fights it is what it is, a FIGHT.  The idea of a fight is to engage.

Main Entry: 1fight  
Pronunciation: \ˈfīt\ 
Function: verb 
Inflected Form(s): fought  \ˈfȯt\; fight·ing 
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English feohtan; akin to Old High German fehtan to fight and perhaps to Latin pectere to comb — more at pectinate 
Date: before 12th century 
intransitive verb

1 a: to contend in battle or physical combat; especially : to strive to overcome a person by blows or weapons b: to engage in boxing
2: to put forth a determined effort
transitive verb

Then there is the simple fact that I, you, and several hundred thousand(maybe millions)spent anywhere from $44.95 to $54.95, plus 21,000 people who spent anywhere from a grand or so to a few hundred dollars. Simply there was 5 fights and was one of them, in theory I paid $9 for this suck bag ot run circles for 15 minutes.  That suck bag wasted 15 minutes of my life and a whole bunch of other peoples lives that we could never get back.  That sucks as bad as Kalib...</description>

		<description>What an idiot. If the fans didn't pay to watch the fights, Dana would not have been able to even pay you the 10k. By pissing off every fan of MMA you just ensured that you won't get paid jack for the rest of your career because no-one wants to watch you jog with your back turned. Stupid...any fighter is who thinks that anyone other than the fans is paying his salary.  Make us happy, you will get paid. Just look at Guida, guy loses a few straight fights yet still gets booked by UFC because everyone knows when he fights its gonna be a war. He is still around because the fans like watching him, win or lose. What a joke.</description>

		<description>What's with all the blaming with Dana White?

Backpedalling is fine when it is used to parry or frustrate the opponent.  However, the entire matchup and almost not landing any blows (let alone failed attempts of all those few shots) gives Dana White a reason to let him go.  Let's not forget the last minute of Round 3 taunting.  Calling an injury as an excuse is bad as the UFC can simply postpone or cancel the match, yet it's damn ironic that he seemed fine without foot flinch.  Don't want to get knocked out?  Play your opponent well and show enough determination to win.  Even the best fighters still try to win (or have won) even with health problems.

Screw what Dana says in public.  This happens to almost ALL MAJOR MANAGERS!  They say something that may offend their employers.  It is up to the fighter to decide whether to go on with the show in a professional manner or just quit the job.  Don't get those who spend $45 see unprofessional antics.  That is not proving any points.  I could demand Dana White for my money back, but firing people like Kalib is more than justification as we no longer have to waste our cash on that shit in the near future.  Don't like the pay?  Get better or go to a better promotion that pays more.

For those claiming it's Quarry's fault for not going for the open, back on the backpedalling issue, fighters are NOT stupid enough to simply be pissed and go for an all-out attack as they are left with exploited vulnerabilities.  Fighters who usually end up losing to backpedalling are often resulted in a planned counter-tactic KO/submission.

So, yeah, Kalib and all other people defending Kalib has no grounds talking.  Kalib may be a good fighter before, but this performance and talk already shows his shameful character.</description>
