Looks like I am not the only one that thought Kim won that fight, people were talking about Diaz getting robbed but no one was screaming on behalf of the “Stun Gun.”

After seeing the last karo fight im not sure he could have any shot at beating kos. He lost to kim imo but was givin the decision. and Kos has looked good since being destroyed by GSP.

if this fight materializes im most definately going to buy the PPV, the main card would be crazy stacked.

Regardless of whether Parisyan faces suspension for using pain killers, the way he looked facing Kim would not lead me to believe that a match with Josh Koscheck would go well for him. Koscheck has shown to be very strong, with great endurance and improved striking technique. Match that against how Karo was somewhat sluggish in the Kim match, not really able to do a whole lot standing or on the ground, and I see him getting crushed by Koscheck. Personally, when I watched the fight I actually scored it a slim victory for Kim…

Ya I just saw that also , doesnt look like this will be happening at UFC 98 .. Prolly for the best , now maybe they can set Kos up with a better opponent , Is Marcus Davis set too fight anybody yet? That would be a decent fight.

Doesn’t look like this fight will be happening in the next few months. News is about to break that Karo tested positive for painkillers.

I really can’t see Karo winning this. It would take a dramatic change from TriStar, but I don’t see him having the wrestling or the motor to win this fight. Add to that Kos’ improved hands and I think you have a long night for Karo.

With that said, if he’s really dedicated and TriStar can live up to their rep, he may be able to turn it around. I don’t really like either of these guys, but this sounds like a really good card.

I like Karo, he gets bashed a lot because he isn’t as cut as other fighters, but he has all the talent in the world. Anyone else have thoughts about Karo going to the tri star gym, could be exactly what he needs.

close fight, i’ll take karo though.

What a card. The arena will be packed with talent for UFC 98. I just hope that everyone avoids the injury bug.

I’ve never like Kos, but as a fighter, he sure is hard to hate. He is a fighter’s fighter. Now about that hair….

Koshcheck is certainly keeping busy. That will make four fights within a span of 7 months. I may not like him but you have to respect him for taking on all comers especially fighing Alves on short notice at UFC 90.

I can’t imagine the winner of this fight NOT getting a title shot after GSP/Alves.

If that ends up happening, UFC 98 would be an absolutely stacked card.
