[lethalweapon]

Props for the thread Kalib.
Most of us can better understand your situation and circumstance now.
But you must have understood the backlash from everyone, not knowing what you just told us.
Recover well and good luck!

The ones that do can over come adversity and also over come a better fighter with even more skill. You lacked heart in that fight.. You had a bad fight plain and simple.

When you are in a fight time flys and what seems like to the watchers a long time seems like a few minutes when you are actuly in the fight. I can understand that you hurt your foot and had to adjust your game plan etc... To the average watcher it seemed like you were running for ever.... You should have thrown in the towell... Oh well, what's done is done... best of luck to you in your next fight.

Agree. Throwing in the towel at least wouldve given the viewers a chance to watch a better non-televised undercard fight.

why not..it takes more balls to come on here then in person cause on the computer everyone is allowed to spew whatever the fuck they want....and he would get more feedback this way then in person

cause odds are none of these tough guys would be sitting down with him saying half the shit they are saying on here

If people want to be understanding of him, that's their business. There's nothing "weird" about it. People like you are why Athletes can't ever entirely do right by people. You demand explanation then the moment you get it you cut it down and talk a bunch of pseudo-intellectual babble about what they guy is REALLY thinking.

It's enough to give people migraines.

Haha, I touched a nerve with you. You don't like people who analyze and place people in categories and judge? Or at least, not be so open about it...

The guy takes his time to come on here and tell his side of the story with out taking anything away from Nate and most of these people from the past couple of weeks come on here and say the same tired shit they were saying before, if you have the facts now sing a new fucking song. I also promise all of you that are saying youll neva watch kalib fight again are full of shit. If one of his fights happens to be on TV ur not gonna change the channel. Also this whole topic has been beat to death let it go already.

you are absolutely right ron, thanks for taking the time to post some sense on here.

it was a good post by kalib, he made his points well and i'm sure he knows it will make a difference to the hate, no matter how small

but the important thing is that we have the correct facts, and we are much closer to that now.

don't underestimate the sheer amount of pricks on here though.

good luck in the future man...i like to see fighters come on here and discuss shit like this, too bad this discussion was about a load of BS some douche on here started...

also, WAR FEDOR...(sorry, i cant resist)

big difference between circling and running.

Look, if you had your foot broken in the second round which I don´t believe you did because you were running so fast in the third round, why didn´t you tell your corner to throw in the towel? Hundreds of fighters better than you have thrown in the towel in between rounds when they got hurt, Frank Shamrock last fight for instance, Pedro Rizzo has done it, Chuck Liddell has done it. Instead of doing that, you decided to spend the third round running?

Come on I paid to watch a fight, just give me my money back. If you don´t like the concept of fighting for money, don´t do it. Dana didn´t put a gun to your head to fight. You half heartedly tried to clinch and engage with Quarry and you said you couldn´t, man you didn´t even try and you said he almost knocked you out three times? I didn´t see any of that, you are lying, you think we are all stupid or what?

And first you said you had broken your foot in the first round, now it´s in the second round? Decide which lie you are gonna say beforehand. Dude, you don´t belong in the fighting business and that´s that. Now go away forever.

I wish the dude well, but if anyone signs him and they put on a ppv card I hope he is on the undercard that is not televised. Seriously, he should have just given up instead of running like that.

Hey Kalib, didn't you see the sticky that says "No More Kalib Starnes threads"?

Seriously, thanks for taking the time to write this. Sorry about your foot injury. I don't train MMA, so I'm not in a position to make judgments on your heart or whatever. Good luck in the future.
