Do you think Kalib Starnes regrets doing the running man?

[rolex]

He's never talked about it now that it's years later?

What does he say about the whole situation ?

He pretty much said it at the time. He claimed he suffered a broken foot.

While it's hard to believe he could run so well on a broken foot, I do agree with his comments about Dana. The guy's never had a verifiable real fight yet he holds himself up as the arbiter of courage and what it takes to be a fighter.

Seeing as it is still brought up years later, maybe, but then again, he is a fighter and maybe he does not give a damn what any of us think.

Nobody wants to be remembered as a runner. Look what condit had to do to overcome that rep. Kalib is screwed. Gurantee he wishes it was different.

i've only seen one video of his fight in the ufc and i hope he never gets into the ufc again. shit like that should never be seen in the ufc.

He is a talented fighter and had some very respectable UFC appearances prior to his meeting with Quarry.

if they deducted points for stalling then shit like this would not happen

 

[Fatal Catro]

I doubt that he thinks about it all that much.

Oh it's THAT guy

He claimed that he broke his foot and that Quarry looked like a "rockin' robot" whatever the hell that means.

Kalib Nurmagomedov, the top 5 LW who just beat dos Anjos.

Not bad.

I was at that event live, people were all wondering what the hell was going on! :icon_conf

 

[mma_genius]

He was clearly the better fighter by being punched, kicked, and kneed over the course of three rounds.

He was fighting a heavyweight, and Starnes is a middleweight.

 

[pointfighter]

Of course he regrets it. That's all he will ever be remembered for

I'd have more sympathy for Kalib Starnes if he took accountability for running in that fight. Even if he kinda made a B.S. excuse like, "I was feeling really sick that day so I ran, it was a pretty pathetic fight." But I don't believe he has and so forever it will be the elephant in the room. By him ignoring it, not addressing it, it actually highlights it more.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

One of the odder moments in UFC history for sure.

 

[FootstompShonie]

Probably every day of his life. I believe he was protesting because he couldn't afford health insurance as he was a fighter and no one would cover him.

Which is kind of silly because I think that's something you're supposed to understand when becoming a prize-fighter, and funnily enough now the UFC offers that full health insurance.

Should have just ran a few years longer.

 

[yonski]

I think so he's getting older now anyway probably won't be fighting for to many more years

 

[WalterSobchek]

I asked him this very question once... but he ran away before answering...

HW has a lot of guys who could be MWs if they wanted to diet a little bit and then cut weight. Starnes is not a small guy. Isn't he 6'3"?

Yeah? Lets see that list with "a lot" of names.
