not surprised why there aren't any comments here. even people at sherdog are sick of hearing about this.
Following his disastrous fight at UFC 83, former UFC fighter Kalib Starnes drops a press release to explain his actions.
"I would like to begin by saying that I was very happy to fight in Montreal, and that I trained really hard for my fight. I know that there were many people, including myself, who were disappointed with my performance, and I would like to apologize to my coaches, trainers and the fans for what happened. It was by far the worst fight of my career, much to the credit of my opponent who proved to be a real monster in the ring, I think that they should keep him in a cave somewhere and feed him raw meat!
During the fight I received a broken bone in my right foot and I find out tomorrow if I need to have surgery and get a pin put through it so that it will heal properly. I also have severe bruising on my left thigh, lumps on my head, a fat black eye, a sprained jaw and damage to the nerves in my molars.
My injuries weren't enough to satisfy Dana White, who made comments after the fight insinuating that I would have been better served allowing myself to be knocked out. Comments which prompted me to ask to be released from my contract.
Those commenting on my performance and wondering why I asked to be released from my contract, a contract which they had repeatedly refused to renegotiate, should keep in mind how fighters are compensated by the UFC.
In my last fight for example I was coming off a win against one of the UFC's top middleweights Chris Leben. I trained for over three months for the fight, with all expenses coming out of my own pocket. Food, travel, accommodations, supplements, equipment, coaching, and cornermen. The athletic commission requires a pre fight medical exam, blood tests, eye exam, and often an EKG, ECG, MRA/ MRI, or CT scan. All of these expenses are mandatory, and are incurred by the athlete.
I was then injured in the bout and received a huge gash on my forehead, which caused the doctor to halt the bout prematurely. The cut became infected and I spent about two and a half months recovering, during which time I was unable to work or generate any income. The UFC, a company which earned hundreds of millions of dollars that year, paid me less than $5,000.
You should also keep in mind that I was fighting for the sixth time for the organization and my second time on live PPV, on an event which generated tens of millions of dollars. In short I paid somewhere between $20,000 to $30,000 dollars for the privilege of having my head split open.
For him to come out and make a statement like that as though I should be willing to suffer a brain injury while being paid less than $10,000 is beyond comment. How much is a brain injury worth anyway?
Since the fight, extremely biased articles and commentary have appeared everywhere; articles which were of course reprinted quite extensively by those lacking the imagination to make up their own lies. Accusations flew and continue to fly about every aspect of my life and character. I've heard reports that I appeared on a radio show in Montreal attacking the UFC, that I threw the fight in protest, that I've been abandoned by my team over my performance, that I escaped from a polygamist colony in Texas as a child, that I was homeless for years surviving on nothing but peyote caps and good intentions, etc, etc.
I've been bombarded by questions from every media organization you can imagine. You'd think that I had knocked up Britney Spears, or strangled Paris Hiltons pet Chihuahua. They ask me clever questions like: Why would you want to be released from your UFC contract? Were you injured? What was it like on that reality show? Exactly what is a 'hollaback girl'? Do lion-tiger hybrids (ligers) really exist? Which is better, chocolate, or vanilla? And finally; Why is your cardio always in question?" But I don't answer them, 'I just light my cigarette, and smile.'
I have been asked to appear on Inside MMA Friday to discuss it further. If you're confused about the quote, look it up. I will make copies of my medical records relating to UFC 83 available upon request.
I regret having to discuss this matter in the press, and would have preferred to discuss this matter in private. I was not given this opportunity and feel as though I was forced into a position where I had to respond publicly to the pointed and biased case building against me in the press.
Regardless of my dissatisfaction with my contract, I will say that to the best of my knowledge the UFC honored all agreements made with me while I was under contract with them. I do not blame the UFC in any way for my loss, and I hold no grudges against Nate Quarry or his corner.
This sport is as much about losing as it is about winning. There is a winner and a loser in every fight. I tried to win but on that night I couldn't do it and I lost. Instead of allowing me to lose with dignity I was booed and called names and ridiculed beyond anything which seems reasonable to me. I tried to box with him and I couldn't find my range, I tried to kickbox with him and I broke my foot, I tried to take him down and grapple with him but I was unable to, I tried to work in the clinch but that didn't work either, in short, I failed. No excuses. "
not surprised why there aren't any comments here. even people at sherdog are sick of hearing about this.
I'm sick of it too but at least the guy has no excuses. I'm glad he brings up the fact that the UFC doesn't cover most of the fighters expenses even to get in the cage.
For a UFC fighter, Kalib Starnes is a puss. He goes out of his way to point out every little injury he has like I had a splinter in my left foot, my eyes were sprained, my nipples are too sensitive, my hair hurts… blah. Just a whinny bitch, I've never heard other UFC fighter cry like that.
thats true. he basically didn't want to risk an injury and you can't be a great mma fighter if you approach fights like that. if he was protesting that would be one thing but he was running away so he could avoid getting hurt.
UFC is running a slave camp!
I am kind of conflicted about this, on one hand I can understand not wanting to suffer further injury, but on the other Kaleb seems to always be bitching about some injury or another. THIS IS MMA!!!! Not No Contact Tiddily-winks
i bet leben feels like shit after seeing this and knowing that this pussy beat him a few fights ago lol
You fucking pussy, a broken bone in your foot??? because you were running like a guy looking for an easy payday. Dana White is right for saying that about you, if all the fighters are like you then the sport is gone. you should be ashamed of yourself, if you had a broken bone then you should have stopped the fight and they could have aired a lesser known fight on so we could at least see real fighters!!!!!
What makes me mad is that he claims the foot was his worst injury. Yet he seemed to go from side to side and back peddle like nothing was wrong. He should play basketball and then he will be able to complain about anything, even a big toe injury(Shaq).
first of all, the injuries came DURING the fight. if the toe business happened before the fight, they shold have postponed it or something. and if it was so bad that he could't continue, he shold have pulled a frank shamrock and don't come out for the next round. plus, i doubt he really broke his toe because he was running at quite some speed for all three rounds. and about medical bills, that's what ufc health insurance is for; very worth the investment. i agree that fighters are underpaid, but honestly, one guy can't change the business. if kalib wasn't happy with the money, fuck the ufc and sign with elite xc… or he could pull a mccarthy and retire.
2 points
First Kaleb, you knew the contract you signed! Not only are you a puss for not delivering on the contract you signed, but apparently a dumbass for signing it.
2nd, looks like UFC fighters really need some good agents or a players union, because stories like this come up after each UFC.
It's funny, I dont't really remember seeing him try to grapple with Quarry or even working in the clinch. It looked like once they got in the clinch, he tried like balls to get out of it. Even though he wasn't making excuses about the loss, he was stil making excuses. Not wanting to get hurt in mma is like not wanting to get wet as a lifeguard. Don't be a duetsch bag, do your job or find another one.

Following a last-minute delay due to a technical glitch, the demo for Deus Ex: Invisible War is now available for download at GameSpot's DLX. The demo features a single level of the game where player must acquire transport on board a private jet.
Like the rest of Eidos and Ion Storm's action-RPG, the demo offers players a range of approaches to complete their goal. They can either stow away on the jet via stealth, commandeer it by force, or some combination of the two.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is scheduled to ship to stores December 2 for PC and Xbox. With a story full of dark intrigue and violent skullduggery, it's not surprising that the game is rated 'M' for Mature. Even less surprising is the price, the standard $49.99.

Deeper Learning 2015 is the premier international event for educators pursuing deeper learning in schools. In 2010, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation convened a group of leaders from some of the leading organizations in deeper learning. Over the past few years this deeper learning community of practice has met, collaborated, and pushed each other's thinking. The Deeper Learning conference came from the desire to bring the teachers and school leaders from those organizations along with others from across the country to do what the most successful learners do: work together to find reasonable and implementable solutions to authentic problems facing us today. This conference aims to connect educators who are implementing deeper learning in their schools, generate and better support deeper learning ideas in classrooms and help educators reflect on their own practice.

Meet the Padres GM candidates
A glance at the eight who have interviewed for the Padres' general manager job
The Padres have looked near and far in their three-week search for a new general manager. Eight candidates have been interviewed. The new GM could be determined as soon as next week and is expected to be in place soon after the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Here's a glance at each of them, with emphasis on the four candidates who will likely receive a second look (denoted with an *).
Name: Larry Beinfest
Age: 50
Job title: Former president of baseball operations, Miami Marlins
Why he'll get the job: He was the first candidate interviewed by the Padres, the only one with a proven track record as a major league general manager, to say nothing of the cred he built as GM of a low-budget team ('03 Marlins) that won the World Series in his second season. Thus accustomed to working for a franchise even more thrift-minded than the Padres, Beinfest was considered a front-office heavyweight, extremely adept at trading for young players who become All-Stars.
Why he won't get the job: Ironically, things went sideways for Beinfest and the Marlins when they got a new ballpark and began spending money on veteran talent that tanked. Are the Padres again willing to hire a GM who was fired?
--Chris Jenkins
Name: Billy Eppler*
Age: 38
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: New York Yankees
Why he'll get the job: Eppler, who grew up here and attended the University of San Diego High, has a well-rounded background that includes seven years as director of pro scouting for the Yankees. Serving as GM Brian Cashman's assistant has allowed him to learn about everything from player acquisition to management to contract negotiations.
Why he won't get the job: He is not accustomed to the day-to-day constraints facing a mid-market franchise.
--Kirk Kenney
Name: Mike Hazen*
Age: 38
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: Boston Red Sox
Why he'll get the job: Hazen, a Princeton grad who was a 31st-round selection by the Padres in 1998, has flourished in player development, San Diego's sorest need. His significant experience with organizational decision-making has been seen firsthand by Padres president and CEO Mike Dee, who worked with Hazen in Boston.
Why he won't get the job: In the interview room, Hazen could be one-upped by either Eppler or A.J. Preller, fellow young guns with advanced resumes of their own.
--Dennis Lin
Name: Ray Montgomery
Age: 44
Job Title: Scouting director
Organization: Arizona Diamondbacks
Why he'll get the job: A former player, Montgomery has worked his way up through the food chain on the player development side of baseball operations, which is exactly where the Padres need to focus their efforts to build a foundation for the organization.
Why he won't get the job: The only known candidate who has yet to serve in at least an assistant general manager's position, Montgomery might need another position in a front office before taking over a team's entire baseball operations department.
--Jeff Sanders
