Quoteworthy:
“Basically, eight months ago, I was diagnosed with panic attacks. It’s something I have been trying to deal with. I am trying to keep my head clear…. When I first got there (to Colorado), I couldn’t eat or sleep. I just didn’t want to be there. I struggled during camp (with panic attacks) and my conditioning wasn’t there. That Karo that used to come out tenacious was not there…. I am not going to stress myself out. This fight [at UFC 88] is very, very important in so many aspects and in so many ways…. It’s very simple. If I beat three bums, I get nowhere. If I beat Yoshida, I’m back in title contention. I’ve always said that if I come in shape, I can be the best at 170. Hopefully, if I can annihilate Yoshida, I can avenge some of my old losses to Thiago (Alves) and Diego Sanchez. Then I can annihilate those guys. I’m ready to show that I’m the best.”
Experienced mixed martial arts veteran and long-time Judo competitor, Karo Parisyan, reveals that he has recently been dealing with panic attacks. Being locked inside a cage with another man who wants to tear his head off — in front of a massive screaming crowd and television audience — is perhaps the worst place for someone with his condition to be. “The Heat” admits to feeling “girly” when the episodes emerge, but it seems like a step in the right direction to discuss and address them in the open — it must be extremely difficult for the the proud Armenian. Parisyan will take on the super tough Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88: “Breakthrough” at the Philips Arena in Atlanta. Ga., on September 6. Let’s hope his mind is right because this is a very good fight, which will surely deliver the goods if both fighters are in top form.

He needs to submitt or KO someone and stop leaving it to the judges!
I agree! Karo has alot of raw talent, if he can just commit and just focus, he can definitely KO or submit people!
Panic attacks? isn’ t it called homesick. My 6 year old traveled cross country to my dads. He said the first night he cried for 10 seconds (literally) and then decided not to be a wimp. This is just another built in excuse. Kevin doesn’t know shit has never cared much for Karo, and I hate to be the one to tell him, but alves and sanchez will win rematches!
kevin doesn’t know shit – Thanks for diagnosing all people who suffer panic attacks. (I’m being sarcastic.)
This time, bro, you have earned your moniker. You really don’t know jack about this.
Once upon a time I used to mock (literally) depression and things like it. I thought they were made-up conditions people invented as excuses in life. Lo and behold, a few years later I sunk into a depression. The moral? I didn’t know sh*t. And suddenly could relate to all those “whiners” I’d formerly dismissed.
I’m glad Karo is getting this taken care of. Counseling did wonders for GSP.
So Karo Has the The Tony Soprano Problem.
dude, I know panic attacks happen. Karo’s happen when away from hollywood and mommy and daddy. It’s more homesickness and more an excuse. He knows he’s gonna get his ass kicked. On top of that, I respect GSP more (yes I said it) because he never referred to himself as gsp or george!
you guys just don’t get it. Panic attacks are real and extremely disruptive. I have had this issue for over 4 yrs now. Episodes come when you least expect it and you feel as though you are going to die. It really sucks – give the guy break. Even though this is treatable with medication Karo won’t be able to take the right drugs because they are banned in compeition
well if thats the case, I hope he starts taking the meds!!!!!
Only people I have ever met that had panic attacks were woman!
This guy cant say 1 sentence without making an excuse and I for 1 am so sick of hearing it. Karo, why dont you try a little hard work for a change? I am very sympathetic to depression. Naturally I am 6′2 185 lbs. About 2 years ago my father was Diagnosed with Cancer. Thats when I moved back into my parents house to help out the family and be closer to him. Watching my father slowly die due to a terrible disease, I became extremely depressed. All I would do was Eat, sleep and Cry. I didnt even want to leave my house. after 1 year, my weight had shot up to about 260 lbs. THats a 75 lb weight increase. My father then passed away and I thats when it all changed. I picked my ass up went out and was ready to face the world. I started hitting the gym Hard, got my life together and with some hard training, I lost 55 lbs and turned the remaining fat into muscle and went on to start demolishing all my college courses with a 3.8 average.
Moral of the story is, you can change anything with some HARD WORK!!! Isntead of Crying about your panic attacks and pudgy love handles, get your ass to the gym and train!
There is no excuse for being under conditioned in a FIGHT! U r a professional fighter, all you have to do is TRAIN!! Some people do, others make excuses. When the one’s that “do” fail, they pick themselves up and work harder. THat is what it means to be a CHAMPION in LIFE! I dont see that in Karo! Its NEVER his fault. He is always being screwed over by a referee or the judges…GROW UP MAN! This is LIFE!
Basically, what I am saying is that Karo doesn’t haqve it in him to be a champion. His opponents will almost aLWAYS work harder then him. So all the talent in the world means nothing.
I for 1 am So sick of hearing the crap that comes out of his mouth! YOu either do or you dont, SAVE your excuses for someone that gives a crap!
What about brock calling himself brock lol.
OK F Karo, lets talk about some match ups:
EliteXC has announced that GRIM Rogers will face the winner of Shamrock vs. Kimbo!
Affliction 2:
Horedecki vs. Dan Lauzon has been made official!
john, honestly now, is this affliction card weak or i it me?
That’s funnyh. I was fighting off a panic attack all yesterday morning. I drank way too much this weekend and it really breaks me down.
When I started taking antidepressants for anxiety they helped but also made me want to kill myself because my dose was too high. Sweet side effect huh.
The best thing I’ve found for anxiety is good ole cardiovascular excercise. 30 hardcore minutes on the elliptical and I am good to go for a couple of days. I’m off the antidepressents now but have to work hard to stay normal.
The way I see it is Karo could kill two birds with one stone. If he started training harder on his cardio he could lose the gut and feel better. Walla tough guy again.
you know i can understand where Karo is coming from with his personal issues…but i dont think he needs to bring it up as a reason he was losing fights. im not saying he is making it up, i do believe he has this real condition. again…dont make it an excuse karo…i use to be a fan of his..till i realized he was as big of d*ck and manny is a lil sh*t. they are so full of themselves. now when they are in their dire dark moments of their career…they cry.
“On top of that, I respect GSP more (yes I said it) because he never referred to himself as gsp or george!”
Haha. As much as I liked hearing you say you have respect for GSP, you’re actually mistaken. GSP says things like “you will the see the best version of Georges St. Pierre” and blah blah blah lol.
John: I really understand you bro!!!! When I was living in Brazil.. I get a call that my mom had gotten Cancer AGAIN.. she fought and beat it in 2002.. in the end of 2004 something else comes back.. and it was really really worse then the first time. My Mom was my whole world… a momma’s boy..I was and still am..
I came home in 2005 out of shape, out of touch, out of BJJ.. and I see my mom.. and all I could do was eat, sleep, and cry.. and it hurt.. was I depressed.. Hell yeah I was. My mom outlived doctors life expectations by over a year and change. Bro.. I got screwed up on Hard Drugs..and I lost my grip on reality.. My fam were all in Brazil..and I was here by myself.. life continued.. I re focused and re connected myself Brazilian Jijitsu.. I start living and training like a Champion.
In June 2007 I meet a woman.. who in little to no time at all I get married to. At the time I got married I was on top of my game and my life was great.. in less then 6months.. I thought I had hit rock bottom..before..I hit rock bottom again.. and hit a trap door to another rock bottom. My wife leaves me.. for her own reasons.. I’m in a hospital my dude..just trying to live..and not DIE..
I realized the life that was around me..was created by ME.. and I had to change it..if wanted to be happy. We are all the center of our universe. I made a decision that. THAT’s IT.. I’m Done!! The life I was living was not worhty of me.. I will be who I want to be.. I will create a healthy body and mind.. I will be a Champion in life once again.. I will dedicate myself to Brazilian Jiujitsu and into helping others. I live, eat, and train like a warrior today..John you are right about being a Champion in life. Everyone likes a winner.. a winner in life. To me it doesn’t matter if I win or lose at a grappler’s quest or a naga.. it matter’s on how I fought, with a warrior’s spirit. Today I am so blessed to have an opportunity to share and live my life as a Champion. I’ve been through hell and back. I’ve been through alot of adversity. Today I am a better person for it, I make no excuses, I blame nobody, I am who I am, because that is who I decided to be.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.” One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Nice fable. I will definitely use it.
PAT, you are SO right! LOL
The first thing that went through me head was the typical GSP interview seen on TSN or UFC.com, when talking about a fight, he ALWAYS says “… and you will see the best G-S-P that you have ever seen”
Great story guys, thanks for sharing!
Wow we are getting philosophical on this one.
I did like that Karo actually made appropriate use of “I” in a sentence…might be the first time.
Italian Proverb: “To be prepared is to have no anxiety”
Outside of the physical/chemical aspects of panic attacks, Karo might do better with some more training, cardio, film work, rest, eating well, etc.
Phil, good stuff man. indian proverbs are always so true
thank you..fellow Maniacs.
phil, good stories. people could learn from your experiences and your outlook. you might like this 1 about atheletes.
we’re all human – visa commercial
Thanks you for sharing, Phil. I love it!
I can totally relate. Having anxiety sucks, it controls your life it causes depression it makes you feel weak. I takes no meds I control the attacks by solving and facing my fears and problems, it was hard at first but this last year ive been doing so much better.
Like Phil and many others I had a ruff past, I always will be thankful for it though, I appreciate my life so much more. I make positive use to the negative events that were my past.
We may be on an MMA website, but I gotta say, I LOVE seeing the personal posts, with personal stories, and you guys waxing philosophical on here. It sounds cheesy, but it humanizes you guys some for me. Makes me curious about the lives of people I communicate only via computer with. Phil, the story of the wolves, I absolutely loved it. Very inspirational.
it’s started already,I went to check my email and looked over,at the top stories of the day,and who’s big head did i see—-Kimbo,it read.Kimbo takes on 44 year old Legend.Made me want to throw my computer.
DBG, I know what you’re saying. I respect the fact that Kimbo is at the very least attempting to do things the right way. I place ALL blame for his being over-hyped squarely on Shaw’s and Elite’s shoulders though. But him being the face of MMA can be quite frustrating. At the gym, just last week, there was an old UFC on. And this guy starts talking to me about Slice. He couldn’t believe that Kimbo isn’t even a top 100 fighter (in my eyes, at least). Every time I tried talking to him about any other fighter, he just brought it back to Kimbo, and how he was disappointed in the Thompson fight, but hopes the guy can come back strong in his next match. Well, at least Kimbo is drawing new fans to the sport, who, if they actually watch it, can learn the real facts and rankings, and maybe be entertained by the guys that have been doing this 10X as long with only a small fraction of the exposure.
For ‘ONCE’ I actually like what Karo has to say… Karo is about 26yrs old. This is his growing pains… Some of these guys are public personalities and we see every mis-step they make. Instead of acting like a macho, bad ass with a chip on his shoulder, he’s in the breaking down process before he tries to build himself back up again. Reminds me a lot of Vitor Belfort’s personality and how he’s rededicating himself.
I don’t particularly like Karo or Belfort and don’t believe they have the ‘right stuff’ but I like the fact these talented guys are begining to understand their faults and trying to remold themselves.
KAro has a “mid-life” crisis at 26. Wow, he’s soooo mature man. Well anyway, this kid has lots of potential. He should utilize it the way BJ Penn did. I mean, this dude has been fighting in the octagon for as long as I can remember. So focus is the key to getting that belt. It did wonders for GSP and BJ. It should do him good too…
Between Karo “DYKWTFIA” Parisyan’s arrogant ego and recent beatdowns, Karo doesn’t have the ‘right stuff’ to be a champion but he does have the ability to stay a top contender for the next 4 years and earn at least 1 and possibly 2 title shots.
The Man of 1 Million Excuses.
He is just setting himself up so that if he loses to Yoshida, he has somewhere to point his finger besides just blaming himself. He ALWAYS has an excuse why his conditioning ain’t there. Or was this a pathetic attempt to try and get people to feel sorry for him? Either way, I am not buying into anything Karo has to say.
I wish there was a betting line on whether or not Karo will appear at UFC 88 with lovehandles or not. But the odds would probably be around -10,000 in favor of yes.
I thought Vera was the “man of a million excuses” ???
I don’t know man, this sounds pretty legit to me. The guy LEFT Jackson’s camp because of these “attacks”. I wonder if the Alves knee to the dome isn’t the cause of this. I mean it was pretty much his first KO and we all know how that can affect a fighter (see Forrest after the Jardine loss). I’m no fan of Karo but I agree with Mania in that this has to be increadibly difficult to deal with for a guy like Karo. All that said, I have to laugh at his “feeling girly” comments. “Do you know who I am SIS, er I men BRO”
VM: Scroll down to the end of this thread. Insain is talking crap about you again. Handle that!
again? ….dood i keep myself to myself – hes the one obsessed with commenting on my posts.
LOL, I commented on ONE of your posts, where you claimed that Chuck Liddell sits on the right hand of God saying that he’d kill Anderson Silva and Fedor and Rampage and … And you also said that its “not fair” because Anderson Silva walks around at 215 lbs he should have to fight at HW.
(sob, sob)
I forgot the other comments you made that proved that you had no idea what you were typing about.
CHALK UP ANOTHER ONE to my fanclub!!!!!!!!
heres my proof that you talk shit: youve wrote some made up crap about me saying he’d kill Fedor and Rampage…i never mentioned them 2 in that sentence and on top of that, i never mentioned Rampage. Where do you get this stuff from? cuz it aint’ comin’ from me. You’ve then even made up a quote about me sayin “not fair” , again – where did you get that from? wasnt me.
Im just showin how full of it you are VM, you make things up that were never said. The weird thing about you n your bum chum is that you take peoples opinions (which is what this sites about) and take them to heart, like your actually being hurt by what people say about fighters. The way you two are in love is disgusting to me.
INsain: VM has contributed more intelligent posts on this site in 1 day then you do in a month. Retreat, because ou wont win this battle.
Go back to worshipping your lil Chuck Liddell shrine!
again, thats my point – while you two are chatting shit – im training hard – know that shit, id mash you up.
And dam right – The Iceman F*kin rules!!
done.
Here is a copy/paste of your post from the original thread:
“john – u think you know it all! chuck said it – not me ! get real? wake up ?
Chucks a legend – he has a much higher chance to beat any fighter out there than silva ‘your bum boy’ does. Silva would go down like a log on in a toilet to some one like Overeem or V.Silva – the iceman dealt with that shit. Chuck can be matched up against anyone. BJ, GSP, Silva, Machida, Sylvia, Randy (mashed him up) and even fedor – but we cant say the same for silva because there would be too many excuses – mainly from you, about fedor is too big, heavy or whatever.
Silva walks at HW, not LHW – so why doesnt he man up and skip LHW and go straight for the big guns? simple answer – hed get crushed like a boy against a man.
”
Ok, you didnt’ say Rampage, my bad. You said examples that are one million times more dumb!!!! Why would BJ or GSP fight at LHW??? WTF?? And you sound like a little cry baby complainer in your last paragraph and I just summed it up by saying “not fair”.
John, when do you ever remember this kid saying something intelligent??? I don’t…
VM-
Agreed. A built in excuse.
He’s been training at greg jackson’s camp, hopefully that can straighten him out.
Toad, I actually read on UFC.com that is not the case. He was SUPPOSE to train at Jackson’s camp for a week but had to leave after 2 days “due to an onset of panic attacks…. Luckily, Jackson made arrangements to fly to California and train near Parisyan’s comfort zone.”
I am going to agree with V.M. on this one. I had him losing even before I heard this story.
ya he paniced when GSP showed up for practice
Shutup Fatty, I won’t believe you unless you go in and put on a clinic, you got the talent but lack the drive and heart, skills don’t do it alone, ask BJ. I’ll give you props when you show up in shape and dominate…
no suprises here.
Did these panic attacks start around the time Dana referred to him as a gatekeeper? lol
LMAO.
No. I think they started when Sanchez busted up his grill.
Do panic attacks and tweenkies go together?
lots of people eat to feel better, ill bet hes one of them
I panic at the very thought of having to eat a twinkie!
I think Alves and Sanches are better fighters than Karo. I think Karo, in shape, should still be a slight underdog to these two. I think he needs to evolve a bit in addition to losing the belly. A little bit of humble pie and a willingness to be trained could go a long way in a addition to the cardio.
Looks like BJ is willing to wait til super bowl weekend ufc card to fight GSP.
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=6968&zoneid=2
If he’s feeling girly he should enter the cage to ‘I Feel Pretty.’ A good laugh might help him relax before his fight.
Karo has the tools to be a top 5 WW but really needs to rededicate himself to his training. He has the tools but he needs to sharpen them cause they’re getting dull. He’s still very young in this game, 25, and has a ton of experience. His losses are to Sherk x 2, GSP, Diego, and Alves. Those are not losses to be ashamed of. It’s nice to see him show a little humility here and admit he’s not perfect and has issues to overcome. He needs to get over himself and the fact that he thinks he’s owed something.
I’ve always liked his fighting style…not his personality. His use of judo in the cage is incredible and has unbelievable hips and uses leverage every time he clinches with someone. There are not a lot of fighters that have that type of skill. If he could get in better shape and gain more strength…he could really start throwing some people around and might finish a fight or two. He probably will never be chiseled but he should at least work on his strength and conditioning. He looked very lethargic in his last fight and he paid the price.
I’d panic too if I had just told the world how tough I was then got my ass kicked or ground out a brutally boring decision win over mediocre talent.
I heard he was going to come out at his next fight to a “Panic at the Disco” song.
I also heard his favorite movie is “Panic Room”
LMAO! stop it Mex.
I was wondering Mex… does Karo have a favorite book?
Fave book is entitled “Between Panic and Desire”…Appropriate for Karo since he’s desiring to be WW champ, hehe!!
Ever since the dust up with Nate Diaz on TUF,I’ve felt like Karo was off a litle. Man, Karo and the Diaz bro fued is like school yard rivalry stuff.
All I know is he steamrolled Nick who is pretty good. Hope he comes in with that same demeaner and annihilates this guy. This is a crossroads in his career. probably feeling a lot of pressure.
i’m sure Karo could get down to 155
Yeah, with liposuction.
Nice one.
or training….he looks brutal and out of shape at 170…its only 15 pounds
Mania – are you slippin’ or something? this is old news. I try to give you some news that hasnt been posted but you ignore most of it – which is entirely your choice. But i knew this like 2 days ago – for example – its being negotiated that crocop will fight overeem, you should post it. The other day there was a weird article about fedor going very religious – you should maybe post that too. your choice, just thought id mention it – as im not here to talk shit like VM – as you know.
Peace
“..as im not here to talk sh*t like VM”
Uh…that’s talking sh*t on VM.
Insain, that is some decent news, there is one other site that I go to that gives out a little more frequent and different news… but this is the site to post on, where the discussions continue to roll. Discussions normal die out when blogs go on to the previous page.
karo should just chill out and smoke some weed with nick diaz. woot woot.
Yea boi! I second that. I’ll even kick him down some Cali buds to get him started.
Oh that’s just great! You guys get him high, he gets the munchies, eats some of “yoda’s” twinkies, and the next thing we know, he’ll waddle into the cage to fight at LHW. lol
He panicks every time he remembers how big a dickhead he is.
Hahahahaa!!!
“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”
“HOLY CRAP NEITHER DO I! WHAT AM I DOIN HERE?”
Maybe the same thing happened to Kalib Starnes.
Panic attacks for Karo, Manvel the Anvil getting knocked out by a bum….not good right now in that family.
hell yeah we can have a smoke off see who can smoke more and then let them go at it again.
Go Yoshida!
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.” One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good.

good post man
Karo is one of my favorites Hope he and Dan Henderson finish thier fights in the first round. Looking forward to this great card.
hell , i i have panic disorder my whole life ,it’s basically paralyzing anxiety that overwhelms you mentally and then physically messes you up , heart rate jacks up , sweat , feel very insecure scare, extreme fear of death (in severe cases) it basically sucks , but they have some great treatments for them , like Benzodiazapines , for most people who don’t know on here which i am sure you all do these are anti anxiety meds ,sched 4 controlled substances and can get u fed up , but if you really need em they work great make a person myself and possibly karo feel normal again , examples of benzo meds , Valium , Ativan , Xanax , Klonopin , matter of fact paulo filho was hooked on 1 of the strongest ones Rohypnol , very strong stuff. i use to like karo , i guess in a way i still do but anyways he needs to focus on his health then career first , or both if he wants to be contender or one of them
i think karo is just scared that nate diaz is out there looking for a fight with anybody
I liked Karo until he tried to “big league” Nate Diaz, that shows no class.
There’s a saying about fighting = 10% Physical + 90% Mental
(something tells me that with his panic attacks, he’s about 50% there). He’s a talented guy, but like alot of the other fighters, it’s just not enough with this new batch of MMA fighters.
Give the guy a break!! I know for a fact that panic attacks are very serious and real, because my coke dealer usually gets one after every eight-ball or so!
Wow, this blog is sounding alot like a Self Help group. haha. J/K don’t hate on me.
I just hope Karo gets well soon so I can watch him get his trash kicked again. I miss that.
InsaneRide, that is messed up. You shouldn’t tease like that. We all have problems.
I was just kidding man! Relax~ Your nuts dude!
I am not Nuts. Karo is…. ROLFMAO. Well maybe I am a little. haha
This idiot is one excuse after another. Those panic attacks…those were you coming to terms that you training can’t keep up with your mouth.
I would panic too if I was not half as good as I thoght I was and was no where near title contention.
Gimme a break, Parisyan is old news. He is not even a the 170 gatekeeper anymore, he is the 170 doorstep.
lets all chill out. anything can happen.
is there any girls on these post. just a ?
You wish, hehe!! Even the Gina Carano fans are males. So good luck to girls posting here…If there are any, please show yourselves up!
damn why dont chicks like mma? cant ever find a good girl.
They dig MMA! Is Mandy Moore in the house?
lol to karo!
give him a break, youd panic if you looked like that.
hey chicks like mma and also think karo is hot!
karo is hot!
Before i met karo i had a lot of respect for him. After i got to know him personally i could tell you now that he’s full of s*** and no one brags as much as he does. The panic attack is all an excuse if fact this is the first time i’ve heard him mention it to anyone. After the Thiago fight he was out telling everyone, including me, that it was bs the ref stopped the game early…just excuse after excuse..but this panic attack thing is just priceless. I believe in people having panic attacks and I know it’s a serious issue but he’s lying and I could bet my life on that people trust me I know this guy very well.
Hey luvly you are a little bitch without a dout! Panic attacks are serious and hope you have one and see how it is douchbag!! Karo is a great guy and that stoppage was a B/S and his right! If you think karo’s lying you obviously don’t know him and If I was karo I would have never talked your with your stupid ass and knowing you’re a 2 faced white bastard!! ..Please bet on your life I wouldn’t mind seeing you going. .You are a 2 face bitch its so called so called fans like you that love talking shit why don’t you say whatever you felt on karo’s face and get you head squashed stupid moron lol! Kiss his ass and talk shit behind his back typically douchbad hatter! .Hate trolls like that don’t have no clue about fighters and think there making things up stupid uneducated idiot!!!!!!! Have all the respect for karo tells it like it is he ain’t fake and he doesn’t lie his very outspoken and hope he rematches thiago and diego when he convincingly beat Diego’s ass the first 2 rounds without a doubt!! WAR KARO!!
HAVE ALL THE RESPECT FOR HIM! hey dude I think his even making up saying that he knows karo and being a little prick and writitng shit online WOW lol just another stupid HATTER what else is new..
Hey johns no offend or anything but keep your life stories to yourself you are NOT important to open your mouth and than say that karo make excuses!! Karo parisyan is one of the most straight forward talking fighters that I know he doesn’t make shit up and doesn’t give a shit what you puny brains think! lol how dumb can some of you be? And why is it that everything karo says gets “quoted” you need to get a life and if you don’t like what karo says FUKEN LEAVE why are you reading the interview and than talking crap no ones forcing you lol. I think his having more of an anxiety attacks and that shit ain’t something to make fun of or say it’s an excuse!! Why is it when fans think fighters get robbed and start writing crap its actually ok, BUT when the actual fighters says that he got robbed it ain’t?? LOL What the fuck is this 12 year olds having fun on the computer with no brain?? hahaha
Reality…..
Diego and karo = split decision to karo since he won the first r rounds
Shean Skerk and karo = obviously none of you saw that fight when karo WHOOPED his ass go watch the fight and than open your mouths! So with all due respect fuck all you that have an IQ of a frozen yogurt and think everything is a joke!!
Who says karo was crying? Do you people actually read before making stupid comments…Try READING BEFORE STATING TROLLS!!!!
The guy is taking care of his whole family and there is lot of resposnibilities sometimes you morons dont know what’s going on in fighter’s personal life..lol hate hate bark bark like stupid dogs lol!!!
I have a LOT of respect for karo his honest and very outspoken casue I know the guy one thing his not is fake his a great guy. I had anxiety attack a year ago and that causes mostly of stress. Good luck karo hope you own yoshida and climb back the ladder cause karo was the FIRST guy at age 24 to get a title shot against Hughes when no one was even around. .Karo want to see that AGAIN you are a veteran and have been around for a veryyy long time.
If karo comes in shape he’ll beat the crap out of Alves and Diego not to mention that he already beat Diego’s ass the first 2 rounds easily and got screwed by the judges.. It should have been a split decision for karo… 29 28. 29.28. 26 30.. WTF those judges were definitely on crack lol watch the fight again!
