First time I ever heard of someone dropping out of a fight for being mentally unprepared.

Didn’t Paulo Filho pull out of his initial rematch with Chael Sonnen because of mental problems?

Just hope Karo decides to train for this one.

I like Kim and am glad to see him on the main card. He threw something like 5,000 elbows in the fight vs. Jason Tan.

If I’m not mistaken, Karo had admitted to suffering from anxiety and panic attacks in the weeks leading up to the fight. First time I ever heard of someone dropping out of a fight for being mentally unprepared.

Which is why I wouldn’t be surprised to see him fighting on the undercard.

I was not to impressed with Kim in the fight versus Brown. That could be saying a lot for Brown too. Karo got lucky here while getting a lesser opponent than Yoshida.

Karo wins a close fight

Karo will just lay on him and get a decision win.

“determined that he was in no condition to compete”

Wow. First that I have heard that. Was he just really out of shape and not close to making weight? This may change my feelings toward Karo. Maybe Reggie Warren Jr. really could mess him up!!!
