What do you guys think. Personally I think Parisyan's done at the elite level regardless of age. He started fighting at 15 or 16 so he's got some milage.
Didn't see Yoshida's fight but heard it was impressive.

I like Yoshida and I think he's a guy to keep an eye out for, but I think Karo has this match. Although Yoshida is a very sound Judo practioner himself, I think Karo has the upper hand in the grappling aspect of the game. Growing up under the wing of Gokor and "Judo" Gene Lebell learning a hybrid of style of grappling that blends Judo, Sambo, Catch Wrestling, and Greco-Roman means he's got a lot more tools at his disposal. Also training with Team Jackson will help his all around game tremendously. I'd say the one area where Yoshida might have the advantage would be stand-up, but like I said, Karo's been hard at work with Team Jackson so I wouldn't be surprised to see his stand-up looking pretty sharp. All in all, I'm expectign to see a great match and am glad to see both these guys back in action!

I think Yoshida take this, he's good in Judo, so he COULD avoid Karo's throws, but he has one thing Karo lacks, an extremely sound Ground Game, even if Karo puts him on the ground he'll be able to submit him.
Yoshida by Submission in round two.

I agree Yoshida will win but omens are the worst way to pick fights they are even worse then using MMA Math.

I got Karo by UD. Surprise, I'm in the majority for the poll. He's won fifty percent of his fights by decision. He doesn't finish fights, but will win the fight for his aggression probably.
Yoshida is tough and I'm very tempted to pick him, but still....
Karo UD

Exactly, but I see him getting an armbar on Yoshida. I'm going to be 8 rows up from the action  .

I want Yoshida to win. Karo is slumping and prob past the peak of his career when Yoshida is young and could be an interesting match up in the WW divison.
I would like to see Anthony Johnson vs Yoshida if he wins. That fight would be for who is thrown into the mix of next WW contender.

Karo is only 25 years old, I'm pretty sure they're not that far apart in age. I can't find an exact age on Yoshida, UFC.com says 34 years old, but that can't be right.
