I really thought that fight could've gone either way and Leben would prob take a rematch.
Anyway, Starnes seems to be skilled but something is def missing from his game. You're correct that a lot of it is heart and I can't think of many fighters with bigger hearts than Quarry. On paper Starnes seems like the better and more well-rounded fighter but it could go either way. I'm picking Quarry bc of heart and ko power, but it's so close that Kalib is indeed a good bet.

He really screwed an unbelievable amount of people @ UFC 83..
I feel bad for all the peeps that bet on him especially. I feel bad for anyone associated with him. He gave them all a bad name.

haha, this thread seems so very sad now.
No fault of anyone posting here, im sure it all made sense before the fight.
But wow, such support for the guy and now no one will ever support him again.

On a side note you tell me your picks before a fight and thats how im betting. Thats some damn good insite you have there.
It came down to exactly that, heart, and Starnes had none.
