Kalib Starnes Continues on Comeback Trail

"TUF" season three alum Kalib Starnes is expected to return to action again this summer, fighting for Canada-based promotion "Ultimate Cage Wars" in July.

A source close to the fight informed MMAInsider of the news on Friday.

The controversial middleweight will face off with Cesar Gracie-trained Bret "The Angry Hick" Bergmark, who carries a record of 5-1 and competed last April, winning a decision victory over Jesse Juarez.

Since his notorious performance against Nate Quarry at UFC 83, the Surrey, British Columbia native has shied away from the spotlight completely.

Following the fight, Starnes was granted a release from his UFC contract. He then said he was fielding multiple offers from different organizations, but needed to heal a broken foot suffered in the fight.

Starnes' return began in November, where he defeated Chris Cisneros by armbar at Destiny MMA in Hawaii.

His professional record stands at 9-3-1.

good luck to kalib. one of the nicer and more intelligent mixed martial artists out there. it's unfortunate that some people still harbour resentment over one poor performance. congrats to him on the last win. i hope he scores another here.

One bad fight (he broke his foot), and it's like he's worse than all the fighters that get caught using roids and sniffing coke that only get small suspensions.

Good luck to Kalib.

Kalib Starnes?! HAHAHA! What a freaking joke! I would rather see Ken Shamrock vs. Tito XIV than see Kalib Starnes back in the UFC (or any other televised organization for that matter). Stay in the "minors" Kalib and don't ever look passed them. Such a typical next generation spoiled whine-a$$! "Oh, Ow. My f*cking rib is broke Ken!" And then the WORST performance by an up-and-never-mind (rather than "up-and-comer") I've ever seen in my life. Sorry Kalib, but mommy's not gonna hand it to you, you little b!tch.

I didn't care for him on the TUF show, and I sure as he11 don't care for him now. Stay in Canada Kalib. And stay in the minors.

ONE BAD FIGHT? That guy made a conscience choice to dis-respect the fans and his oppenent by having a tantrum and calling it a protest. Canada is too good for you scrot-bag, fight in Aruba and die.

I believe he broke his foot with all the running away he was doing from Nate Quarry.

he had many poor performances and a history of being a whining quiter. he quit on TUF. not a single exciting or note worthy fight in his ufc stay.

Kalib is a joke.... you have to be shitting me that someone would pick him up and want them to fight in there venue. Just because you train at a studio and learn how to punch kick do a leg take down or a basic arm bar doesnt make you a fighter. The guy at best on any given day is nothing more then a Sparring Partner..... I wouldnt watch the guy fight for free.

That's funny intense what does that make some of the guys he's beat like Mcdonald and Leben? It was an awful performance but most people wouldn't even have the balls to try to get back in the ring. Good luck to Kalib.

whata joke said...

"he's beat like Mcdonald and Leben? It was an awful performance but most people wouldn't even have the balls to try to get back in the ring."...your a retard kid, after winning everyone will has the balls to go fight. What the hell are you talking about and who cares anyway, Kalib Starnes pulled the most pitafull performance in mma history ever. Anyone dummy that knows kalib, tell him, your paid to fight, not to be a coward!! Id rather go down swinging then to fight like he did, whata looser.......stick to sparing kalib!!

Kalib's one badass dude. He's that classic dude, that on any given night he could put anyone away if he wanted to. Question is, does he want to? Does he even enjoy fighting anymore? Didn't look like it, with Quarry, but then again, Quarry was made to look like a pussy against Maia, and Quarry was ACTAULLY trying!!! hahahahah.... Sure Kalib ran away from him, but realistically if his head was in the game, there is no reason he couldn't have destroyed the Rock. That guy is shit. America should just kick him the fuck out. he's a douche bag.

He is a quiter! Quit on the TUF show for ribs. Quit because of a foot. He is not a true warrior. He was in over his head in the cage. Their is a reason he was unbeaten before he was on the show he picked and chose easy fights! Maybe he has a shot on the under card of a strikeforce event or if the IFL comes back but other than that good bye!

ok so i love all you guys who have never trained in any martial arts or been in a fight in their life ( i mean a real fight not like when your pullin son
me other dudes hair like a bitch) making comments on a fighter who was at one time considered my many to be in the top ten in the world at 185 lbs. i train and i fight i have trained with people that have also trained with kalib and they say he is a animal in the cage and if you ever saw the guy you guys would rather piss your self then talk shit. so if you rally wanna run your mouth go to the suitella gym in surrey B.C or post your email and i can travel to see you and we can spar and see who the real bitch is.......
