Kalib Starnes And UFC Part Ways

Kalib Starnes says that he has asked for and received his release from the UFC.

However, other reports says that Dana White fired him. This is what Dana White had to say about Starnes in an interview with Yahoo:

Not surprising at all.

It has been speculated that Starnes carried out his performance in protest to low pay and the fact that UFC does not pay the medical bills of some fighters. If that was his motivation, he just made himself look stupid.

I say he was just scared. At any rate, he is no longer with the UFC.


I'm a good old rebel,
Now thats just what I am,
And for this Yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I'm glad we fought against her,
I only wish we'd won.
I ain't asking any pardon for anything we've done.

Re: Kalib Starnes And UFC Part Ways

Like he'd have ever fought in the UFC again, after that pityfull performance.

Even if he were protesting, there are other ways of going about it. Don't do it in an event where UFC fans have paid good money to come and watch the first UFC event in Canada.

Starnes looked like a fish out of water anyway.
