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.”

What Happened?
Last night at UFC 83 Kalib Starnes (8 - 3 - 1) of British Columbia, Canada found himself in the Octagon. By the look of things he didn’t show up to fight and give the crowd what they had paid for. He just kept on walking backwards, attempting to avoid everything Quarry threw at him.
After 14 minutes of running around Quarry caught him with some good shots and made him stagger. The stagger combined with backwards running gave Quarry the perfect chance to taunt Starnes. Starnes not taking too kindly showed him the middle finger, but continued to retreat. The fight ended with cheering for Quarry who did everything in his power to keep the fight entertaining. Booing was coming from all over the arena directed at Starnes. Clearly not too happy about it, he shouted at one fan “You f**king fagot, get in here and try.” Hopefully, he will apologize to his loyal fans. It is certainly no way to make new ones though.
