@#7

Mike, you forgot about how Goldie will say that Karo has really adapted his Judo for MMA.

#2, i’m not sure how a 50 sec. bout could be a classic..

only one thing happened in that fight.. period.. they touched gloves, and then, the choke.. that’s it..

hahaha…

#6, again

The question is whether Rogan will characterize Karo’s strength as “retard” strength, “chimpanzee strength”, or something else.

#6. LOL. You’re right, but Rogan will also talk about how Judo and MMA are different because in MMA there’s no gi.

I love watching Karo fight, very entertaining. Personality wise? Eh.

My prediction: Joe Rogan will mention something about world-class Judo skills, Goldie will say it too as soon as Karo throws him, Joe will mention how he’s rolled with Karo and he has scary strength, Goldie will say it’s all over when Yoshida TKOs Karo.

This will be a great fight. Karo has to come in top condition to minimize the chances of a second loss. A well-conditioned Karo is a scary fighter. He may not be the most likeable guy, but he’s a scrapper, and I always enjoy his fights.

Karo better be on point in this fight…or it will be back to back L’s.

I will be rooting for Yoshida in this one. As #1 said, Karo is pretty hard to root for.

Although brief, Jon Koppenhaver vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida is an MMA classic.

I have never seen a fighter who makes it harder to root for than Karo. I love to watch him fight, he is truly a joy to watch. But what an immature @hole he is! And the UFC aren’t doing him any favors, Yoshida is a monster and is going to give Karo everything he can handle. As good as Karo is, I think this fight is a pick’em.
On a side note, has anyone else always wondered why Karo doesn’t drop to Lightweight? He could easily get there, he is very soft. I think he would be an absolute terror at 155lbs. I never see it mentioned, just wondered if anyone else thought about it as well.
