Can Demian Maia Keep His Unbeaten Record Intact at UFC 91?
Demain Maia a UFC middleweight fighter from Brazil will be making his return to the Octagon at UFC 91. He will be fighting Nathan Quarry, Quarry’s last fight could go down as the biggest joke in UFC history.
Nathan Quarry was fighting Kalib Starnes and the whole fight was just a gong show. Quarry would advance, Kalib would keep backing up avoiding contact. The most entertaining part of the fight was the mocking of Starnes by Quarry in the final seconds of the fight. Obviously Quarry went on to win the fight via unanimous decision. Starnes no longer fights for the UFC.
Quarry does have a bit of a challenge on his hands this time though. He will be facing Maia, a Jui-Jitsu specialist. Maia’s last three fights have netted him some extra cash for Submission of the night so no doubt we will be in for quite a show when November 15th rolls around.
Question is though, can Demian Maia defeat Nathan Quarry and keep his unbeaten record intact? Personally I think he will and in good fashion too. It would be great if Maia could become more well known and get a fight against Anderson Silva before Silva retires. Brazilian vs. Brazilian for the Middleweight Championship. It would also make that fight so much better if Maia could go into it with an unbeaten record.
Kalib Starnes Explains!
Kalib Starnes has released a statement on his website about his fight with Nate Quarry. Heres a snippet of the release:
This sport is as much about losing as it is about winning. There is a winner and a loser in every fight. I tried to win but on that night I couldn’t do it and I lost. Instead of allowing me to lose with dignity I was booed and called names and ridiculed beyond anything which seems reasonable to me. I tried to box with him and I couldn’t find my range, I tried to kickbox with him and I broke my foot, I tried to take him down and grapple with him but I was unable to, I tried to work in the clinch but that didn’t work either, in short, I failed. No excuses.

Kalib Starnes: Broken Foot Against Nathan Quarry
Kalib Starnes told The Fight Network that Dana White didn’t cut his remaining contract. He actually asked to leave on Monday.
“[UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva told me that it usually takes a couple of days for their legal department to complete the paperwork and that he would send me all of the paperwork to indicate that my contract has been dissolved,” Starnes said. “Later on in the afternoon, after I had spoken to Joe Silva, a story was released by some reporter from Yahoo! in which Dana White said that he had released me from my contract. I received no documentation on that, and it came after I asked to be released.”
Kalib Starnes in the same article with the fight network told how his broken foot after the first kick he threw was the real reason for all the back peddling he did against Nate Quarry in their one sided fight at UFC 83.
“Right now, I have a broken foot [that] I sustained with the first kick I threw in the fight,” Starnes said. “My leg is purple and black from my knee up, I have a black eye, a sprained jaw, and he’s questioning my desire to fight? If that isn’t enough to satisfy him and the crowd, I can show them the medical report. I can barely walk. [Quarry] totally destroyed my thigh with those kicks. I’m sure a lot of people would rather see me suffer a traumatic brain injury and be rendered unconscious. That’s too bad. If that’s what they want, they’re paying the wrong guy $10,000 to get his brain smashed in.”
