Are all these people just completely off-the-wall in their opinions, or do you think that maybe you are (at least partially) at fault for some of the criticisms you get from peers and from fans?

thats funny right there, no partially involved fully. it does take alot to get in there and fight, so you get all the props for that, but what happened was down right awful and disgrace to your fans and fans of mma. But like I said not everyone can get in there and do it.

i understand the pro fighters trying to stand up for other pro fighters. but honestly, it was a joke. he was literally running away during that fight. trying not to get KO'd is just a good way to say i was running away the whole time.

Yeah he said Quarry was better, but don't act like he did something noble by running away.

and he can talk all the trash he wants about how much he was paid by the UFC. No one made him agree to fight for that much, and if it wasn't for the UFC, we probably would never have even heard of him

It takes two people to fight and obviously Kalib does not have the heart for battling another man in unarmed combat; at least when he is on the receiving end of a beatdown.

Dana white was correct in stating that he should find another profession.

I have fought as both an amateaur boxer and muay thai fighter , so I know what it is like to get the shit punched or kicked out of you and still come out in the following rounds ready for more.
You win some and lose some and if you dont love getting hit in combat sports as much as dishing it out you are in the wrong game.
I would rather get KTFO and lose some brain cells but show a warriors heart than run and look like a bitch .

I'm Portland biased cause I live here, but c'mon, Kaleb started this particular thread.

What makes me happy is Nate is back and showed his level against a "c/d"-ish level fighter.
Right now we are witnessing the evolution of a newer sport so the disparity of experience/skill/technique is even showing in the big shows. Normally you'd see that a lot in the small shows.

Have fun the the smaller org's Kaleb, you won't have to taste the power of the rock at least.

Instead of the little fish in the big ocean, you can be the big fish in the small pond.


My question is this Kaleb, would you step back in against Nate for a re-match?

WAR TEAM QUEST

This is just fucking retarted, You sherdoggers are a bunch of fucking pussies, Trust me I'm trying not to curse but its impossible after reading trough this thread! I can find 50 guys in this topic who made fun of that poor preformance and took it for what it was, a dam joke. (Including myself), Look at you now, as soon as Kalib gets on here you completely change your minds and act like 14 year old brown nosers..WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!

I'm not buying it, sorry. You are a professional, shit like this isn't what I pay for. Stop blaming other people and injuries or the UFC. I can make a list of fighters who fought like true warriors even in defeat, That's what I respect and that's what I honor.

Its not my job to be a fighter (unlike him) so don't give me the get up in the cage yourself BS speech. All you pussies on here with a sudden change of heart fu too, you are even worse. I can't believe how weak of a character you ppl have when you can act all cool while the staff of Sherdog makes fun of the fight for what it was on the radio and now folding like little girls behind your keyboards when you have to have a discussion with the man himself. Flame me I don't give a dam about what some random ppl on the internet think of me, I'm just here for the quality posts anyway. However when 21 000 people boo you, the CEO of the company every dam sports journalist and mma expert I doubt I'm wrong. I was displeased as fuck to see something like that represent a main card on the biggest mma leauge out there right now, Shit like that won't help our sport and is not even worth of an undercard.

Perhaps there was some good to come out of this fight, Maby Dana White and Joe Silva will finally learn to stop filling our main cards with b-level fights like theese and leave that shit to the undercards (No offence to Quarry, he's a true warrior, no matter how easy kalib made it for him.)

Sorry people paid their money to watch you fight and can shit on you about your performance as much as they want.

Good luck in the future anyway though.

It's a good point. The fans paid to see you fight and that gives us the right to expect a fight.

I hate the attitude of some fighters that we don't get an opinion because we're not fighters. We pay your wages so we get THE say.

There is nothing wrong to complain. If you believe strongly that someone didn't put their full ass effort in their performance. Why not bitch about it??

[maddog00]

well im conflicted, i respect that u came on her and defended yourself but i thought u were back pedeling from the start.

anyways the fight provided comedic relief. Best of luck to you

2) Nate Quarry...had fuckin sugery on HIS SPINE! And he still walked into that octagon with you and tried his best to send you out of there on a stretcher. I'm sorry, but I feel like that man has more to lose by getting hurt in a fight than you do. He get's thrown the wrong way, lands the wrong way, and who the fuck knows what could happen. But he still got in there and fought his heart out.

Maybe you're just not cut out for fighting. Its not a dishonorable thing to not be cut out for this profession. But what is dishonorable is for you to constantly come up with excuse after excuse after excuse about the situation. You got more excuses than a hooker in confession. But the only true answer is that YOU DIDN'T' WANT TO FIGHT. No matter the reason...broken foot, hurt wallet, whatever....YOU DIDN'T WANT TO FIGHT!

This is a quality post!

Not that you are going to read this Kalib, but who cares what a bunch of fatass keyboard warriors think? Some people just have a bad night and fall into a pattern that they cannot escape, or recover from. To quote "The Replacements", quicksand. The important thing is that you bounce back from this and fight for the right reasons. Best of luck to you.
