And I Ran, I Ran So Far Away…

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out last night – I hope you enjoyed the fights and our toe-licking dog, Indy.

It was a mostly interesting event with one glaring exception: Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes. Now, I’m not going to get too technical because this is funny and I don’t want to lose any of you. Nate came to fight, Kalib apparently didn’t. For the entire 15 minutes, Kalib backpedaled around the circumference of the cage, while Nate, frustrated, attempted to catch up and throw a solid punch. Each time Nate would stop to set up a punch, Kalib would scoot away.

With only 30 seconds left, Nate began to poke fun at Kalib by jogging in place (which I can’t show you because of Kalib’s reaction to this). Nate then twisted up his arms in a strange fashion and pretended to be a hammer-fist throwing machine while following a few feet behind Kalib. THAT, I can show you:

As far as the judges’ scoring goes, the winner of each round is given 10 points, and the loser 9 points, with deductions made for penalties, etc. So, if a fighter wins all three rounds (as Nate did) the judges will score the bout 30-27 for Nate. Because of Kalib’s total refusal to fight, the three angry judges scored: 30-27, 30-26, and 30-24. That last one is the lowest score in UFC history, and pretty much tells us that Kalib won’t be under contract in the UFC for much longer.
