I'd picked you for the win.
I was frustrated by the fight.

I still think you can go places in mma, I'd pick you over Cung Le or Frank Shamrock. I'd like your chances against Lawler.

Too bad you can't be in the Dream MWGP.
I hope you come back strong and make myself and others who had knee jerk tirades against you look a bit foolish.

There'll be a lot of people rooting against you for the next couple of fights. We'll learn a lot about Kailb Starnes in your next couple of fights.

I think Cung and Frank would smash him, comeon now, be realistic

LMAO, I love how the same people a few weeks ago were trashing Kalib and saying all these bads things about him, Are the same people that all of a sudden since Kalib wrote his side of it on here are saying things like "Well yea, People were a little to hard" etc etc.

If you trashed Kalib, be a man and stick to what you said, It's sad that people do a 180 when he comes on here and post.


Good Luck in the future Kalib.

Also on a side note I noticed one of your favorite fighters was Michael Bisping who do you see winning between him and Leben?

I heard GTA4 sucks, same crap as usual but in new package. Fun the first hour maybe.

Nicely put.

As disappointed as I was at watching your performance, I believe Nate Quarry bears some of the blame for such a lackluster fight as well. The sport is Mixed Martial Arts, if he was frustrated with your refusal to engage on the feet, he should have gone for takedowns and taken the fight to the ground, which he did not do, therefore all he was that night was a kickboxer. I know this fight will forever live in infamy, but I wish you the best in your future endeavors, fighting or not.

Haha yea. Better yet once Quarry realized his striking was too much for Starnes, Quarry should have held his hands by his side and moved forward in a non-threatening manner allowing Starnes to land punches at will to make the fight more fair. In addition, all BJJ black belts in the UFC should also stop taking people down and submitting them if their opponent can't ground fight as well.

Truly one of the most ridiculous comments in 136 pages of crap and counting.

Nice thread title! ;-D

It's nice to see you on here giving your side of the story. It was a nice honest response; it didn't sound like you were making excuses and you certainly gave Nate the credit he deserved for for his performance.

I must admit I was suprised to see the way the fight unfolded, but it makes more sense to me now. True what you said about head injuries too; I work in a hospital and I've known a couple people who ended up with severe head injuries from relatively 'minor' blows to the head. Personally, the UFC wouldn't have enough money to pay me to get deliberately knocked out. I also think the main points of fighting are to win and to survive as unscathed as possible. I think the emphasis on 'making it exciting' makes the sport more of a spectacle than a sport.

Good luck in your future career. I'm sure most of us will look forward to seeing you do better in your next fight!

Straight up. What is with the ass kissing all of a sudden. Yeah it is exciting when famous people post on the same forum as you but come on people, have a spine and stick to your convictions.
