Karo is like the crazy ex-girlfriend. Predictably un predictable.
Spinning out solid gold, like Rumpelstiltskin.
What were Karo’s previous episodes? All I can remember is the time he failed a drug test.
(due to this being the interwebs I’ll just clarify to avoid any confusion: this is a sincere question, not a defense of Karo, I just can’t remember any other shenanigans, I’m not saying there are none.)

I recall he had a panic attack once
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
There was the failed drug test against Stun Gun, the late pull-out with a “back injury” against Yoshida (rumored to have been panic attacks) and more that I’m forgetting about. This was a long time coming.

Unbelievable
The hits keep coming. What a joker Karo is..

Wasn’t Mike Pyle or Rick Story an emergency replacement for Karo’s last fight?
by scrambledeggs on Nov 19, 2009 3:38 PM EST up reply actions
Sucks, I like Karo. Any ideas who could replace him in short notice? I was hoping his act was together now that he was training w/ GSP
Fixed
Sucks, I liked Karo.
"I’m sorry. I didn’t drink last night, so I’m not funny today."

Would anybody take a fight on this short notice?
I doubt it but I guess you never know.
I'm sure lots of people woudl love the opportunity
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
Those two should be indefinitely scheduled to fight each other. The UFC website could say “Karo vs Filho: Tomorrow” like that “free pizza” sign everyone hates.

To be 100% serious...
this is what I said War Machine and Jesse Taylor should be doing. Just fight, fight, fight and always be ready. It’s the only way to get back into the UFC for them…be ready as a short notice guy.
That being said…I sincerely doubt we’ll see Hazelett fighting Saturday

This is an idea that won’t actually happen, but I’d like to see Ben Saunders replace Karo against Dustin Hazelett.
I understand that it leave Marcus Davis out in the cold, and I’m fine with that.

Some guy on here, OneWayTicket or something.

nah one of the posters here. Says that Armenians refer to friends as cousins, and that he (onewayticket) is really his cousin and Manny is not….I don’t know it gets confusing.

Karo's Ouster
So does this mean Karo isn’t going to get that title shot he earned, like, four years ago?

True, I agree long term, but this wasn’t an amazing card to begin with, and I’m pretty bummed to lose the Hazelett fight, as he’s one of my favorites.

Karo is behaviorally challenged, but he got me interested in the UFC again. Before him I was PRIDE only—cant stop the internet baby!.

Which fight will replace it on the PPV?
Will they move the main event from the Prelims Live portion?
He’s also a great man.

An extremely sad day for those of us who only enjoyed watching Karo’s fights to make us feel better about the lack of a six-pack under our own shirts. Guess I’d better cross my fingers for a Tim Sylvia re-emergence.
You’re really worried about guys without six packs in the UFC? Um…
The only time he’s ever seen a six pack was at a liquor store.
