UFC Cuts Ties With Kalib Starnes, the Laughingstock of Mixed Martial Arts

Filed under: Fighting, MMA, MMA/BoxingThis video, which has been viewed more than 50,000 times on YouTube, shows why Kalib Starnes is the laughingstock of mixed martial arts after his pathetic performance at UFC 83, when he spent 15 minutes running away from Nate Quarry. (Warning, some offensive language at the end):Now UFC President Dana White has severed ties with Starnes, although there's some question of whether he resigned or was fired. White says:"I don't care if Starnes says we cut him, or he asked to be let go - at the end of the day if you're a professional fighter, and you are fighting in the UFC in front of your hometown crowd, you have to show up to fight."There are some rumors that Starnes is happy to be out of UFC and that he wants to sign with another promotion, but why on earth would any promotion want him now? Starnes made a fool of himself on Saturday and alienated MMA fans, and he has a long way to go to repair his image.Permalink | Email this | Comments more...
