My biggest problem with you is that every time you get injured, you act like a victim. Maybe it's because something inside of you gives up. Some guys have that killer warrior spirit, and I don't think your one of them.

But seriously, throw in the fricking towel if you aren't going to fight. Had you done that, explained to the crowd, you probably would have gotten a pass. Except you go on yelling at Nate's corner and coming off like a complete douche, for the 3rd time imo.

Same here. Interestingly, you kept talking about how you wanted to continue with a HUGE gash above your eye aganst Belcher, which couldve caused huge damage long term, but when you break your foot, supposedly not bad enough to immoblise you for 15 depressing minutes, that causes you to throw your gameplan out? Spare us the drama, and try fighting once in a while

meh, got some respect back from me...shit happens in there

IMO your only going deeper by talking more kalib, but hey who am I to judge

[tuennes]

Well I saw the fight and it was obviously not the most entertaining one but if you were injured you were injured. I was hurt pretty badly in a muay thai fight and honestly I just wanted to run home.

Anyways, good luck f. your future.

kudos for being honest, good luck in your new promotion

If only he'd gone down clutching his broken foot similar to Shamrock (arm) vs Cung Le then he'd have been fine..

Anyone can see that you've got lots of issues you need to sort out, Kalib and some of them might be your hot head, defensiveness, and cockiness. I respect that you're trying to sort this all out and such, but there is still not a great excuse for your performance.

I understand you not wanting to get hurt however, what sets you apart from the average person is that you are a fighter, and supposedly a martial artist. Though no one wants to get injured, the idea is that all of the best fighters just endure whatever happens and continue to win anyway. Maybe I would not fight with a broken foot, but I know Leben, Franklin, and tons of other guys have all fought, and some of them even won, through their injuries. That is just what fighters do. They struggle and take beatings for the win. Why not you Kalib? I know I wouldn't because I'm not a fighter, but you're a fighter, aren't you Kalib?

On that night you did not want to fight. You can lie and sit here all you want, but you were timid and you embarrassed yourself that night. You probably don't want to hear that, but that's the truth. You're still young though, and technically gifted. Don't be such a primadonna and you could rack up some decent wins. I relate to you, Starnes. You seem like a sharp guy.

Im glad he gave his side of the story once and for all. I believe him and hope the best of luck for him in the future.

[Mike Mesey]

hes not going to read any of this

good luck with your career kalib.

i hope you find success outside the UFC.

outside the UFC is probably the best place for a fighter to be at this time anyway.
