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.

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.
