Kalib Starnes tests positive for marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and amphetamines

I'll give you respect for coming on here and explaining the situation.

People don't understand how hard it is to be a professional fighter, it wasn't an exciting fight but hey...shit happens right?

You'll probably be back earning more money then ever so that's good I guess.

Good luck in the future and dealing with all the dickheads on here though.

With a gameplan like that, the "fight" in the truest sense of the word is over. Running out the clock (literally) is insulting to the fans who paid hard-earned money to see a f-i-g-h-t.

I'm not a fighter. I've never been a fighter. None of that matters, because the situation is simple.

The market allowing MMA fighters to do what they love for a living exists because of the fans. You, the fighter, are the provider of services; the fans are the consumers. If you can't provide what the consumer wants to pay for, you're in the wrong business.

think about this ..I went to a restaurant once and the food was O.K but my waitress fucking sucked ass took too long didnt fill the drinks enough everything a waitress can do wrong she did Including being a bitch.So I stiffed her on the tip like 3-4 dollars on a $50 tab.I went back to that restaurant a few weeks later and to my disappointment(at first) I was greeted by the same server but on this day she was on point food was quick she was friendly helpful and attentive a total 180 from that previous day..So she got a fatty tip..
Now my point being just because she gave me shitty service that day doesnt make her a shitty waitress..just means she did a shitty job that day ........

where is this guy now? I'm betting he's not training

man I knew that couldnt be true, and if it was it would at least not be your official stance on the fight.

However, I still dont understand your tactics in the fight. I can understand if you feel you couldnt work your gameplan, it looked to me like you didnt take your openings but obviously thats easier said than done. I still think you are a better fighter than quarry and could beat him if you would be more aggressive and take more chances. Just my opinion.

The only thing I dont understand, is when hes covering up his face doing his little stupid backhand shit making a complete mockery of you, why didnt you throw something? I think that was the point when some people started to feel you had no interest in actually fighting.

Good luck and hopefully you can string together some big wins and get a deal with a better paying promotion if one exists.

If I go to a restaurant and the cook ruins my steak should I not complain. The Geek Squad guy actually knows less about computers than i do and messes up my laptop I should not complain. Two days after my car is out of a shop it breaks down, do I say "well I must respect the mechanic because I am not one." No!!! He did perform his job up to the standards set by the costumer. The customer is now complaining. I worked retail in a management position, and there were may times a customer complained to me. Not every time was the fault with the company, but sometimes the complainant is correct. In this case the customer is right. It was a bad performance by a professional. The fact that we require a higher standard of performance should not be mocked. Then instead of mea culpa's or any contrition he mocks the very customer that is providing his living. As a person I hope he can recover to achieve his goals, however his initiative and desire to succeed in this sport needs a boost.

Great perspective as I customer I no longer want to do business with Kalib

mate you still got a New Zealand fan. True MMA fans would understand that an injury can change a whole gameplan.
