Every time we see judo in mma people just call it wrestling. Fedor and Khabib both used a lot of Judo. Of course Khabib used pure wrestling too, but a lot of his techniques were more at home in a Judo match than a wrestling match.
@@CrucialConflict. it was Sambo, where you mixe wrestling, and judo including submissions originally from judo old school (kozen). Those submissions are banned in the current Olympic judo
I used to love him back in the day. There were not too many Judo fighters in the beginning of MMA so he was very exclusive and a complete show to watch.
He's mastered the _Tai Otoshi_ You can easily lose a knee if either of you fall the wrong way. He doesn't give them a chance to crumple He whips them around and down before they even know which way is up Top class Judo 👏 👌 👍
I love Judo. I would also say that i don't think i have ever seen anybody use Judo as effectively in MMA as much as Karo. If he had the striking, he would definitely be a champ.
He has way more highlights but good job finding some of them.. Karo almost caught gsp with that standing kimura sweep the guy is the definition of a tactician.
He was so fun to watch He could either set up or just recognize the positions then hit the throws with total commitment . And that's with no gi on a sweaty, trained and resisting opponent. That's pretty special.
Its so tough to be a great mma judoka because you are always in range of heavy punches. Only the very best can make it in fighting and Karo was one of those though he could've been even better
@@Nile15rush_fj That's why I started cross training boxing along with my judo & wrestling. As a grappler predominantly I've worked on 3 ways to close the distance which gives my sparring partners some trouble. 1) I look to be defensive. Sit back, catch some of the punches and look for my opportunity to slip and clinch to set up throws/sweeps 2) Level change into a standing clinch/body lock 3) Level change into a takedown finish (I usually go for a low single and finish with a double knee attack/high crotch to a double leg)
@@Nile15rush_fj nah judo is an inefficient grappling sport for mma, otherwise look at UFC most champions are wrestlers exept for 2 divisions and UFC itself was created because of bjj(which is a plagerized version of judos ground game) triuphing over all other strict styled martial arts.
Watch out for Arman Tsarukyan man. More of a well rounded fighter imo. Shahbazyans good aswell, but I think Tsarukyan poses a bigger threat even in a more stacked weight class.
i wish i knew karo after the jackson rampage podcast. damn he was really a fighter and a cool as dude. it sucks during those days its all about fighting and not knowing who you are /
Judo will almost always beat BJJ if they have the same level of strength and conditions. Judo simply has more moves and is a more complete system. Many Russian MMA fighters have Judo, not BJJ background and they are all very strong. The UFC simply doesn't want to have too many Russian fighters. That's why we don't see many of them fighting in the UFC.
True, it almost wasn't fair with GSP back then though. The level of natural athlete GSP is is on the level of NBA or Olympians, but he began his MMA career in an era of tough guys who didn't have many other good career options who had been both amateur boxers and high school and college wrestlers. The archetype of solid contenders in the UFC back then was a strong wrestler with good boxing, you could get away without even knowing how to kick lol.
I've been doing Judo coming up on 11 years now (black belt) and people who say Judo doesn't work are fools. I've cross trained Jiu Jitsu for the last 5 years (now a purple belt) and the arts have allowed me to get out of danger on multiple occasions.
You judo guys are even more annoying than the bjj community 🤦♂️. A couple decent base fighters and y’all are like yea see! Judo works, even if only 5 people use it 👍🏽.
GOD Loved you enough to send His Son JESUS for you and if you will believe in Him and at baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT and turn from your sins you will be ( if you haven’t already)
Karo has slick judo throws. Made it look effortless. Judo is so underrated in MMA

Yes underatted true.
@@sebastianarenas4748sambo has to be the most complete martial art for licenced or unlicensed fighting.
It doesn't get better than those throws. He was so awesome to watch
Rhonda had tosses throws too…
Rhonda trained with Armenians as well.

Jiu jitsu pretty much copied everything from judo. So judo has been around longer then jiu jitsu
@@AncientChi go complain and whine to Brazilians mate. Leave me alone.
There has never been another fighter like him since. I really enjoyed watching ufc in those days
Huh,he wasn't all that special
@@sadetwizelve 🥴
Ronda Rousey
Fedor Emelianenko
@@hellotcautiver he wasn't
I remember this guy KARO! He had some crazy Judo throws!
Still one of my fav fighters in mma . His mastery was next level. Never will forget Karo vs Diego , amazing fight
He's mastered the _Tai Otoshi_
You can easily lose a knee if either of you fall the wrong way. He doesn't give them a chance to crumple
He whips them around and down before they even know which way is up
Top class Judo 👏 👌 👍
I think it was a Harai Goshi, look, he dont put his feet in the ground
One of the best highlights of one of the best careers out there, ever. Respect
Used to love watching him fight. He was good in a time just before truly well rounded MMA was taking hold.
Total bs. He was very well rounded and nearly beat GSP
First comment.
Parisyan was one of the best judokas in UFC.
I think Karo was a trailblazer - a prototype for Judo players. He was good.
I miss watching him! Wow!
I love Judo. I would also say that i don't think i have ever seen anybody use Judo as effectively in MMA as much as Karo. If he had the striking, he would definitely be a champ.
Ronda Rousey, don't women count too?
Fedor, Islam, Khabib, Ronda…
It's good to see judo still making an appearance, great job.
This isn't recent. This was from more than a decade past.
He has way more highlights but good job finding some of them.. Karo almost caught gsp with that standing kimura sweep the guy is the definition of a tactician.
Very elegant the way he fights
He's the only and THE ONLY legit judo fighter who fought the Octagon. I love and anticipating always some judo throws whenever he fights.
uhhh Ronda? Olympic fucking medalist in Judo??
fedor? islam?
If Karo had good boxing with his judo he’d be unstoppable
Karo is a mini Fedor
This is just awesome !
Such beautiful technique!
KARO is a legend.
He was so fun to watch He could either set up or just recognize the positions then hit the throws with total commitment . And that's with no gi on a sweaty, trained and resisting opponent. That's pretty special.
One of my first coaches in Hollywood, 2005. Great guy, great coach.
Legend!
Man, was he fun to watch back then.
Shame what happened to his career would of loved to see him fight matt hughes back in the day.
what happened to his career ?
@@sammy_blendz He got injured and then got addicted to painkillers. He was never the same after that.

Ronda Rousey y Karo Pariyan aplicaron con éxito el judo en las mma.
Karo needs to come back and fight nate diaz
Man, I really miss "The Heat"
🇦🇲💪🏼
BJJ steals from Judo and then acts like they invented it.
Anyone know where he is now?
Si yo volviera a nacer volvería a entrenar Judo y Karate
Most of what you see in the ufc is judo but people like Joe rogan and others down play judo and give all the credit 🤔 to bjj when in fact bjj is judo
that one guy near the end got hit in the back of the head 3-4 times. you can tell he's fucked up
Such a talented fighter. It's a shame his career ended the way it did.

GSP was inexperienced at the time as well and came from a karate background, it’s insane how easily he dominated Karo.
My judo throws are the best. Best throws in the world. All the other throws, are done by little girls.
EXACTLY!! I ALWAYS SAY WATCHING A JUDO FIGHTER FIGHT ANYONE ELSE IS LIKE WATCHING A GROWN MAN THROWING KIDS LEFT & RIGHT
Judo is updated jj and wrestling
If he would have had good striking he would have been a champ
