Kalib Axel Starnes (born January 6, 1975) is a Canadian professional mixed martial artist. He was featured in the third season of the reality TV series, The Ultimate Fighter . Kalib is a native of Surrey, British Columbia and trains with Revolution Martial Arts in Chilliwack, BC and American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Starnes has been involved in the martial arts since he was a child and began teaching when he was a teenager. His primary styles are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and boxing. He has studied under prominent trainers such as UFC champion Royce Gracie, Olympic boxing gold medalist Howard Davis, Jr., and Olympic wrestler Colin Daynes.

Starnes fought early in the series, defeating Mike Stine by referee stoppage in the first round. However, in the semifinals he lost to Kendall Grove in the third round via verbal submission due to a rib injury. Neither of these fights count towards his professional record, as they were considered exhibition matches by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

After defeating top middleweight Jason MacDonald by knockout and The Ultimate Fighter 1 semifinalist Chris Leben by decision, Starnes lost via TKO due to injury to Alan Belcher at UFC 77. In his most recent bout, he dropped a unanimous decision to Nate Quarry at UFC 83, Starnes claims he broke his foot during this fight. A judge scored the fight 30-24 where Starnes backed away constantly to the crowd's dismay and was taunted nearing the end of the match. Two days after the event, Starnes was released from his UFC contract, which he deemed "oppressive".
