Kalib Thanks for coming on and tell your side of the story .Kalib i have been following you since TUF , I really didnt think much about you during the show since i didnt see you fight much and you where hurt on the show . fighting Danny Abadi didnt rise my eyes either . But after watching you fight a Tough Okami , i started to give you respect . I Was at UFC 71 event at MGM garden you fought a great fight against a tough Chris leben ,you where a 3 to 1 underdog , and you had the full MMA fight game that night you traded with a brawler had good take downs and wore down Leben . My friend saw Leben that same night try to gamble but didnt have his wallet on him trying to borrow money off his friends and he was all beat up with no money (poor guy ).
The Alan Belcher fight was such a sik fight , Belcher landed some great shots with punches knees and Elbows , but you stayed in the pocket and where landing some great shots right back at Belcher and even had him Rocked , The fight was stopped because of one of the nastiest cuts i have ever seen , But you still wanted to fight but the doctor stopped it , Me and my friends thought that was the best fight of the night and i started to become a big fan of yours.
I was really looking foward your fight with Quarry , thought you had a good chance of winning if you could get the fight on the ground . I know you train with great camps so i thought you would be ready for Quarry and his game plan to keep the fight standing , but after seeing you stand with Leben and Belcher i know you have pretty good hands . Win the fight started i saw you throw some punches and kicks and try to take him down once , The 2nd and 3rd rounds i saw a different Kalib than other fights that didnt want to trade or even try to get the fight on the ground just coast it out , The Quarry mocking was uncalled for but looks like he was sorry afterwards , The boing from your own country fans must of hurt and i felt bad , It takes alot to become a Fighter.
After the fight i saw alot rumors and reports about you , ( fixed fight, protest of the UFC ,didnt want to get hurt for 10k ,) I think me and most of the SHERDOGGERS Thank you for coming on here and telling your side of the story and things are adding up now on what happened that night .
As for UFC and fighters pay i think its bullshit , Thats why Randy and more fighters will be leaving if you arent a top name guy they dont pay shit , I have done some MMA training and thers know way i would step in Cage for $5k against a top trained MMA athelete .Its one of the toughest sports in the World but one of the lowest paided sports . It kinda makes me mad that we Pay $45 dollars for pay pre view , and $300 dollars for a ok ticket in Las vegas event ,and ther are some fighters that are still only making $3k in a fight in the UFC .You can only fight like 4 -5 times a year and have to pay trainers , so if you dont have any sponsers you are broke fighter . Most Boxers can make pretty good money ,and after fighting the will have money saved for retirement , For most MMA guys thats not the story people still working there day job and fighting , And if your name isnt Ortiz , Liddell and other big names you wont have lots of money or a retirement fund , I Think with all these new fight organizations you guys will start getting paided what you Deserve.
GOOD LUCK KALIB WITH YOUR CAREER , HOPE TO SEE OLD KALIB FIGHTING SOME.
