Can’t believe y’all got Karo on here. Man this guy is underrated and a legend in my eyes. If it wasn’t for the painkiller addiction and injuries, he would’ve been an all time great. Still a pioneer OG of MMA. Only guy I know who really utilized his Judo skills in every fight. Guaranteed to see at least two throws and trips. It was always a pleasure to watch his grappling prowess and high amplitude throws. Thx 4 this. Jaxxon podcast is the shit

[@brandorios5989]

Guys walking around his weight and body fat today are cutting to lightweight or featherweight. Jeez ur thinking too much about it trying to be right.

Hi from Finland, you guys make a amazing show. The best podcast in mma scene. Thank you all so much💪

[@PicksFromThe6ix]

That was amazing to see Karo. I remember I started really following UFC late 30s early 40s so he was one of the first stars. That was such a long time ago but dudes a real OG of the sport. Bring him back on the podcast again for sure

I was watching karo when i first got into mma back in the middle 2000s. Him and arlovski are some of my earliest memories of when they had the UFC on Spike TV. Damn i feel old saying that lol
