Didn’t really win “convincingly”. The fight was pretty close but your point is well taken

I agree. Karo was at the top at one point, and for GSP to come in and take a win was huge back then. I remember watching this live. I played Judo for years, and seeing another judoka was fun to watch, but GSP did what he’s always done….win. Excellent old school fight.

@PJ Rivera "All that blood".... Haha! People with a random nosebleed have had more blood than that, and, yes, that kimura, not straight armbar, was close for a second. Karo reversed a takedown and if you think GSP wasn't shitting himself for a second, you're dumb. Go away, casual.

@PJ Rivera No, it started as a kimura attempt and then GSP straightened his arm out to avoid the submission. Karo was unable to transition to the straight armbar. The initial takedown reversal notwithstanding, it's a basic move taught to white belts in BJJ. Karo was not even close to getting KO'ed and your idea of how badly he was bleeding is comically exaggerated. Another dumb casual talking out of his ass. Go drink another beer.

@PJ Rivera I do know what I'm talking about considering I learned that combination Karo used ages ago. I never said GSP didn't earn the decision or that he didn't do anything effective against Karo. I just said he was indeed good and if you think otherwise you're a stupid casual. Nice job liking your own comments by the way.

Definitely not, that was so crazy it's like 1 in a million, to be that tight and for GSP to over power him as if he was a child. Same can be said when Frank Trigg had a deep shot for a takedown and GSP basically said get off of me and a few secs later he basically threw over on his back, which was the beginning of the end for Trigg!

GSP had incredible freak of nature upper body strength. Look how wide his shoulders are. Long arms, he's not shaped like a normal man. Almost like he was engineered for fighting

@@starcityrc3298 Yes, Chael Sonnen talked about this when training with him. He was saying that when GSP would grab your wrist for a move, his grip was like being in a vice. Same when he got arms around you. Any time he grabbed you some way it was like, "Damn this guy is STRONG."

Gsp was training with greats and they all say gsp is strong. Not ever to he underestimated. His wrist and overall body strength is devastating. Gsp learned to balance cardio with mass. He's really the most complete fighter of all time. He has no weaknesses except HIMSELF. HIS WILL.

One judge actually gave Karo the first round.

He deserved it. He's a d bag.

Karo didn't really take any damage in round 1. He was smashed after that though

I don't think that GSP could've possibly been purely stronger than Karo at that point (or any point, I think). Karo was a grappling specialist, starting at age 8. To develop strength from all that resistence, from such a young age.. ooff. I assume he was much stronger than GSP. However, he lost decisively due to being an inferior MMA athlete.

@@anonymousreviewer169 I'd disagree. You only have so much strength potential I'd reckon gsps max potential strength is just higher than parisyans also gsp had a great training regime for strength and conditioning karo like Joe said never did any dedicated strength training

@@anonymousreviewer169 GSP is still strong as hell though, Chael Sonnen commented on his strength and he held country boy Hughes down.

@@anonymousreviewer169 No GSP was much stronger. Karo himself complained about it and said the only way GSP could have been that atrong was steroids. Karo seemed to ignore that he himself didn't do strength specific training and like you assumed that his years of grappling made him strong enough.

One submission was all Karo ever had

yee, it's so funny to listen :D

For real, joe always biased and prone to hyperbole

He was riding Karo very hard all fight. He coulda been getting choked out by GSP, and Joe woulda said something like "KAROS GOT ONE OF HIS LEGS HES GONNA GET OUT OF THIS!"

I stopped listening years ago because he either pushes back against what the guest is saying even though he doesn't know what he's talking about, or he blindly agrees with everything they say and then the next episode he's contradicting it and saying the opposite.

@@KrazieSevin Georges was definitely on something. The notion that he was this clean athlete beating juiceheads is a narrative that is way too good to be true. I'll never believe it.

His first UFC fight. His 6th fight technically. Only 22. I'm the same age as Georges. Long time ago 2003 I believe.

I’m not sure it’s accurate to say that this fight derailed his illusions. In his next fight he won the WEC welterweight title and had the longest winning streak of his career. In fact he only lost one in the four years that followed this fight and that was a fight of the year battle. It seems like he was as successful after this fight as he ever was.

@Hog Nutz doesn't matter. Back in the day, WEC wasn't the B League like Bellator was. They had just as much popularity as UFC did and were a serious contender to the UFC. Same as Strikeforce.

Joe Rogan is commentating like he borrowed an interest baring loan from Karo and wants some interest relief.

thank you for that. i love how GSP also blocks Karo from jumping over his body right after that.

The funny thing is that this was only GSP's 6th pro fight and he was only 22 years old at the time of this fight. So good at such a young age, this level of competition was almost like being fed to the wolves for his 1st UFC fight. Fighters do not get this type of experienced fighter in their 1st fight anymore. Unless you were a champ in a different organization like a Michael Chandler, but he had 26 pro fights before he first fought in the UFC.

These are the subtle things rogain always fails to see. Karo was dominated the entire fight in every way shape and form. Karo was way overhyped like many fighters and GSP displayed top level of talent. Such a class act too.

Being on the bottom actually provides more scenarios where you can get a submission and it is pretty advantageous if you know what you are doing.

Yeah, legend of bouncin' up n down of the canvas

Amazing lol

It isn’t eazy believe me.

@@rickyvandusen1744 sarcasm?

@@palmerprod I dk why but it seemed like he thought you were being sarcastic. Gsp haters feel like he's a lay and pray but the dudes jab is top notch and of course the superman punch

@@Lkom24 compared to earlier fights , he contstantly improved in all aspects, especially his striking.

He had incredible strength

GSP is actually a tentpole to aspire in an MMA career, it's not surprising at all that Khabib looks up to him. GSP was a once in a generation talent. There have been so many dominant champs but what makes GSP special is that he beat his opponents in their own game! kinda like how the Valentina is doing today.. They'll be remembered for the rest of time.

@@1daboi100 Valentina's division is so weak, Strawweight is 10 times more deep, and GSPs era WW division is a hundred times more deep than even Strawweight. Only comparison between GSP and Valentina is their dominance but their resumes and skills are worlds apart.

@@FirstCitizenXIV Even when Valentina was fighting BW she was still dominating everyone except Nunes, and even those were close fights. She beat the current champion of that division handily as well. She may fight in a shallow division but her dominance based on her skill level is still unquestionable.

@j jhon you're obviously not a martial artist or fighter bruv, how many said that and got Dominated like they meant nothing? Khabib Talks the talk and simultaneously chokes you out while he walks, no fighter in the ufc or any other decent promotion can be called cowards dude, they fight... Do you? And I don't mean no slap yo cousin in the back yard coz your older and he's smaller...

Because of all the new fans who didn't watch the UFC back when Karo was fighting. They just watch TUF highlights on KZbin.

Karo was legit badass

justin perry yea he looked real badass getting mauled by GSP 😂

Daniel Alvarez yea getting beat by gsp is really embarrassing...idiot

justin perry not saying its embarrassing but he doesnt look very badass getting his ass beat
