I would take that bet, His boxing/striking has improved alot, had some good strikes against Alan.
I would def. take that bet.

I'm pulling for Nate mother-fucking Quarry. Then again I don't think I could ever root for Kalib Starnes while keeping a straight face after having attended UFC 77.

great bet. everyone at ATT is looking crisp with their boxing and kalib has been improving dramatically every fight. i think he'll be quicker and more accurate than nate and pick him apart gradually or catch him with a straight right. i'm looking forward to this fight for sure.

I doubt Kalib will be able to take Nate down, and I don't see him winning on the feet despite the massive holes in Quarry's striking game.

hmmm... don't know man, first thing, i never bet on MMA fights, too much variables...
second, Kalib has great skills it's just he doesnt have much heart...

Its a great bet' i'm on it already. GSP, Ace, Bisping, Kalib and Danzig pays nearly 7/1 for the accumulator; the others are very short but when you throw kalib in the mix it bumps it nicley.
Kalib v Quarry is so close that price (I got 5/2) has to be taken.
The last fight similar to this that I backed was Grove v Cote.

This is a great fight for Kalib in my opinion. Nate waits things out, doesn't have a lot of speed, and can be put away.
Kalib doesn't really have to worry about a guy that's all that explosive really. If he uses his boxing well should be good on him.
Quarry has a lot of heart though which could be the deciding factor.

As far as fights go I would have picked Starnes as the favorite, no matter what it is a risk, but a good bet at those odds.
