The Quarry/Starnes fight brings an element of fighting that I really don't like to see in professional fighting of any sort. It's usually the norm with most of these young kids from the TUF series who make a mockery of the sport. Doing stupid things like sticking out their tongues, acting like they're hot sh*t and doing stupid impersonations during a fight. Very unprofessional. Maybe some people like it but I sure wouldn't want that crap in the cage if I was promoting this junk. They make it out to be like some kind of circus as opposed to professional fighting. Guys like Starnes have no business on ppv.
You don't think they've been putting on the better shows lately? I'm not saying elite xc has better talent(they don't),so lets throw that out the window.I'm just saying there show's have been more fun to watch than the UFC's.I just think there match making is better.
Elite XC is More "Fun" to Watch Because of the KO's, but that's a Product of the LOWER Level of Talent...U Also See Waaaaaaaaay More Fat, Jiggly, Out of Shape Guys N Elite XC... U'll See More KO's In a "Toughman" Contest than Most Elite Level Boxing Matches as Well... REED Gets what U're Saying about a Fight Being "Fun" to Watch, but U've Got to Account for Superior SKILL Level, Right??? REED:dunno:
This didn't take long.... Report: Kalib Starnes cut from UFC contract April 21, 2008 By: Adam Morgan Category: Uncategorized It looks like those who predicted that Kalib Starnes would no longer be with the UFC after his shameful performance in the Octagon at UFC 83 were correct. According to Yahoo! Sports, Starnes has been cut from his contract: After losing a unanimous decision on scores of 30-26, 30-27, and an unheard-of 30-24, Starnes received even worse news: He was cut from his contract by UFC president Dana White. “He just doesn’t belong in the UFC and after his performance the other night, he should consider a new line of work,†White said Monday. Ouch. That hurts. If there’s one thing that Dana White hates more than anything, it’s guys who don’t come to fight or guys who put on boring fights. Starnes didn’t come to fight on Saturday and spent the whole fight running away from Quarry, who was brutalizing Starnes whenever he had the chance. I have no doubt that another promotion will pick Starnes up, but this should be a lesson to him. TFK
