So Long Starnes

This doesn't really come as a shock does it?:

UFC cuts Starnes after disgraceful performance

It wasn't such a good night, though, for Kalib Starnes, who spent most of the evening running from Nate Quarry in their middleweight bout. A native of Surrey, B.C., Starnes was booed heavily by the Canadian crowd that had been boisterous in its support of all the other Canadians on the card.

After losing a unanimous decision on scores of 30-26, 30-27, and an unheard-of 30-24, Starnes received even worse news: He was cut from his contract by UFC president Dana White.

"He just doesn't belong in the UFC and after his performance the other night, he should consider a new line of work," White said Monday.

After the bout, members of Quarry's corner were complaining to Starnes about his lack of activity. Starnes shouted an expletive at one member of Quarry's team, called him a derogatory term for homosexuals and challenged him to a fight.

It was that last bit that was the real icing on the cake for me. I always thought Starnes was a bit of a boring fighter, but I never expected him to utterly shame himself.
