Seems like he still has a lot of problems

I would like to see him back in the UFC, but only if he has things together.

So who is he fighting? And where?

With what he has shown lately how can he call Strikeforce unprofessional? I’ve enjoyed Karo’s fights and they’re most always entertaining but he should be in Strikeforce. That way he would at least have some interesting fights with closely-matched talent. If he really wants back in the UFC, that is the way to go. Get back in front of a big crowd and nationally televised audience to show you won’t have a meltdown, not a crowd of 500 people in an armory somewhere.

No way badmouthing Strikeforce is the way to go

if he wants to get back on Uncle Dana’s good side.

Dana would want him back as a fighter....

Not as a PR guy. He doesn’t need someone who will help him badmouth Strikeforce’s organization. He needs Karo to show isn’t going to have an anxiety attack again.

Impact FC...

… in Australia on July 10th, according to Wikipedia and Sherdog.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_FC_1

Apparantly he’s fighting Luis Dutra Jr. but at Welterweight, not Lightweight as his recent appearance would lead many to believe :S

Dunno if it’s true though. Take it for what it’s worth.

Thanks. Funny that right after you mention it I noticed Sherdog had an article on the Impact cards. Some good names on both cards. It is sad that in a 7 minute interview they couldn’t actually give any details on the guy’s fight. Not the opponent, company or even the continent.

I don't feel right about this guy

He’s one of the best judo-guys in MMA, in my opinion. I saw some really slick moves from him in the UFC. In this video he seems so insecure about himself. Not one second in this video does he seem comfertable. He needs to develope some confidence.

One of my buddies was at that expo and he said that Karo couldn’t even stand for a picture with him due to severe back pain. That may be the reason he doesn’t look comfortable.
