I want Karo to win but it's unlikely
I've been practicing Judo since I was 11 years old(over 20 years now) and I can confidently say Judo without Gi is an inferior art to wrestling. I mean we are taught right from the get-go to grab onto thick Gi without which the majority of the throwing techniques just become useless. I see Karo Parysian fight and fight really well against other martial artists. But I think a great wrestler like Diego can give him a real hard time. It is highly unlikely that Karo's judo throws (without Gi) can take Diego down. The only scenario Karo could win this fight is if Diego get over-confident and let karo apply submission hold. But more than likely Diego would have the upper hand on the ground and he would win by a judge's decision.
