nate rules he will contend for the title again one day, if he wins his next 3 fights then he will get a shot,
Was Quarry the guy in all the highlight reels that gets hit on the button and goes stiff as a board, hits the mat, and his arms are sticking straight in the air?
yeah wen rich hit him he went down haha but on the highlight reel it also shows quarry knocking some one out
Should be a good battle, real test for Kalib after beating Leben; was it a fluke or is he for real. That cut stoppage blew.
Nate is one of my favourite fighters but i hate to say it i doudt he gets another shot at the title, i think he could of gave franklin a better challenge if he waited to takje that fight i think he is a good fighter and if he was a bit younger he could challenge for the title again. I think it is a great story how he almost had to quit fighting but is trying a back solution that no1 has heard of. Honestly i have no idea who is gonna win this fight. I like both these fighters a lot but if had to guess, i would say theat kalib wins by submission
I don’t know why, but Quarry is just one of those guys I want to loose (also see- Tim Sylvia, Karo Parysian, or Matt Serra) But, to be honest, not a big fan of Starnes either. Maybe we will have the first (or wait, second. There was that Grey Mannard fight) double KO. Fight to the death-Shoot the winner!
I agree with u Scotchy…..I just do not like Nate Quarry. I do want to see him lose too. All those other guys u mentioned too….except Tim of course being as he is one of my favorite fighters.
I rly hope Kalib wins this one. Hes a really cool person and that has alot of pottential if he can avoid injuries. it was awsome wen he went nuts on hisw vorner to and he like runs alot of charoties to. I say Kalib by decision
This should really be a good fight. I’m a big fan of Kalib and i dont mind Quarry at all. Hopefully Starnes gets the win though.
