UFC Blacklisted Starnes and Icon Champ Hose Will Headline Destiny MMA
TUF 3 competitor Kalib Starnes (8-3-1) and Icon Middleweight Champion “Kolohe” Kala Hose (7-2) will fight in the Destiny MMA main event in Honolulu 15 November.
Starnes rose to infamy during his UD loss to “Rock” Nathan Quarry (10-2) in Montréal 19 April.
After breaking his foot, Starnes backpedaled and refused to engage…or, if you prefer, fight Quarry, earning him one judge’s score of 30-24. He parted ways with the UFC after the fight.
Hose TKO’d Rolando Dominique (1-1) in Honolulu 2 August, coming off of a rear naked choke loss to “Bubba” Robert McDaniel (11-4) in Honolulu 14 June.
Both fighters have demonstrated enormous promise.
Starnes won a UD over UFC 89 main event fighter “Crippler” Chris Leben (18-4) in Las Vegas May 2007.
In Honolulu 15 March, Hose TKO’d “New York Bad Ass” Phil Baroni (13-10) for Icon’s belt.
