I'm a big Karo fan, and initially, I thought that Karo got robbed. I honestly thought he took the first two rounds, while Diego undoubtedly got the last one...but I don't think it was 10-8. Even as bad as GSP and Forrest took in their respective rounds against Penn and Tito, they didn't lose 10-8. This fight really could have gone either way, but I will give props to Diego because I think he was losing the fight up to that point, and probably changed some of the judge's minds. Anyway, it was a great fight and Diego proved his detractors wrong with that performance. Karo has something to learn from now, and he'll improve his stand up and cardio without a doubt. For the time being, I think Diego deserves to fight for a shot at the belt, probably against B.J. Penn. Karo will be back though.

First off I NEVER said Diego would lose I said it was a good matchup period and never picked either....Why becaue I wanted Karo to win but I didn't think he would...That being said I KNOW that if Diego fights BJ Penn or GSP he WILL lose. As for Matt good matchup similar fighters but Matt has a strength advatage so I will give it to him as well but that will be a fun fight to watch.

Diego's training with Fedor really paid off. His ground and pound looked good. Also can anyone understand what mmapimp wrote? Jesus that guy is a total fool.

I certainly agree with you if that is the case, if Tito's 1st round did not warrant a 10-8 where Forrest sustained 2 black eyes and what looked like a broken nose, there is no fuggin way Diego should've been awarded a 10-8.

Diego's 3rd round was nowhere near as dominant as Tito's and Bj's so how in the fuck did Diego get a 10-8? Likely Peoples like Ninja/Shogun said an dbecasue Diego has an undefeated record. It looks really good on paper for him, great performance by both but I am still sticking with Karo, he was stolen on that decision.

Also, I don't think Diego is the #3 or #4 WW (if Penn stays at WW) I think it's Kos, I don;t see Diego beating Kos, standup=Kos, wrestling=Kos, Strength=Kos, conditioning=? We haven't seen Kos pushed as of yet but he looks really good right now and I would put him at #3 and go out on a limb and even say he would have a very legit shot at beating Penn.

I honestly see him hangin with GSP and Hughes in about 1 year, he's that good.

sanchez may have won the fight (I think he squeeked it by in the last round). But come on how doe a judge give it two him 30 to 26. All the other judges were seeing a close fight 28 to 29. This is the same crap tht happened with the Forrest Vs. Ortiz fight.

UFC needs to clean up judging before they lose all credibility like professional boxing

Screw Koscheck, let "kos" fight Penn and then maybe Diego can have the winner. Kos has fought has fought garbage in the UFc. Menne, a former champ is old and dropped down to a weight class (155) where is has not fought before. Dropping down and losing weight to a good wrestler, Menne had no chance. Who else has Kos beaten? Ansar who?, Goulet got knocked out in like 7 seconds two fights back, at least Diego has beaten Karo (GREAT FIGHT) and Nick Diaz.

Kos hasn't earnded a rematch with Diego yet!

I'd say since him and Koscheck are on good streaks right now, have them rematch each other from the show. as much as i hate both of them, that's a fight id love to see!

Let Kos fight BJ (although I think he is going to drop and stay at 155) and the winner can't fight Diego for a shot at the Hughes/GSP winner. Kos looked good, but needs to be tested like DIego has then we'll see.

[Masscore]

I think Kos and Sanchez would be a huge mistake. Kos has not really fought anyone that good. Meanwhile Sanchez just beat one of the better weltewieghts. Kos should fight Burkman, Neer, or Riggs. That would give everyone a good gauge at where he is at right now. Meanwhile I think Sanchez gets a shot at the winner of GSP and Hughes, if Penn drops to 155. I don't think he can run with those two, but who knows, I didnt think he stood a chance at Karo.

Last night showed me something when it comes to Karo. He has no understanding of Wrestling. He should have known that the one stop a wrestler feels most uncomfortble is on his back and it looked like to me that he made no attempt to really keep diego on his back. How many times did Diego just reverse him and take Karo's back, at least 4 to 5 times. Rule number 1 when fighitng a wrestler, under no circumstance should you give a wrestler your back, he will make you pay. Its not like he even had his back with any authority, I was screaming at the TV for Karo to just go out the back door. If he knew some wrestling, he could have reversed Diego and taken his back a couple of times.
