UFC middleweight Kalib Starnes (8-3-1) has requested immediate release from his UFC contract.
Saturday at UFC 83 in Montréal, Starnes lost a unanimous decision to “The Rock” Nate Quarry (10-2) after avoiding confrontation for three rounds. After the fight, Starnes, a Canadian, was heavily chided by the Centre Bell crowd of over 21,000.
“Fuck you,” Starnes replied to his fellow Canadians amidst roaring boos.
Quarry won over the crowd with a vigorous performance and was cheered in Montréal.
“Joe Silva told me that he would [release me from my contract],” Starnes told Fighters.com, “but, that it would take a couple days for their legal department to complete the process and he would send me the appropriate forms once they were completed.
“I couldn’t be happier about being released from my UFC contract,” Starnes added.

Y enter a fight with no intention of competing waste of time and money for all the fans that turned up/tuned in to watch
What a joke. His new name is “Track shoes”.
He contends he was trying to keep distance to work his jab after having his thigh crushed by Quarry’s leg kicks.
I find this to be complete bull! This is the classic “You cant fire me, I quit” line! Besides since when did Joe Silva (UFC match maker, has nothing to do with business side) sign or release people from contracts?
I really thought kalib was a cool person… guess not
