You'd think he'd be interviewing for his next job. Someone needs to tell him to just follow the storyline that Dana White is a monster right into an EliteXC contract. He'd be fighting Robbie Lawler, Cung Le, or Kala Kolohe Hose in six months. Right? You’d think he’d be interviewing for his next job.

He was on Inside MMA, and really the more he talks, the more he looks scared to fight! It is kind of odd! It is funny to see how much press Kalib is doing after this fight.

If Starnes won with one punch like a Tyson of old the public would have bitched about it too. You really can't win, but you can produce the best match you can and cross your fingers. Fault UFCs matchmaker. Agreed, Starnes isn’t a producer. If Starnes won with one punch like a Tyson of old the public would have bitched about it too.

I was just trying to look at the situation from a different perspective. It's not meant to be a defense of Starnes fighting like a bitch. But, for those who make the argument that Starnes caused them to waste $44.95, I think they have to look to the UFC for putting it on the broadcast event over other, more worthy match-ups.

The only defense I have for him is that I personally would, and couldn't get in that ring without suffering deadly consequences. He did. As much as I don't like Dana Whites smugness, I find myself agreeing with many of the things he says, and this is no exception. He should have dove in, and gone buckwild on NQ. Maybe he would have gotten knocked out, but he would have been a man on the canvas instead of a trackstar with lost pride. On your feet or on your knees my son. If you commit to the fight, fight to commit. Wheres the defense? The only defense I have for him is that I personally would, and couldn’t get in that ring without suffering deadly consequences.
