*GSP and Karo shake hands after the fight* Rogan: Georges has to be careful here, Karo’s got a devastating thumb lock.”
Such intensely biased commentary from rogan. Just likes the favourite.
LMAO…..the way this summarizes Joe’s bias commentating the fight. Watching now it wouldn’t matter as much if GSP didn’t become the legend that he did.
@@jacobstone2458 how was he biased? he said goerge won every single round even when the other commentator was disagreeing.
Lmao. So true. Rogan is tough to listen to in the booth.
@Jacob Stone Rogan always seems to like the more “exotic” competitor, especially if they are a BJJ specialist. Rogan will liters milk their prostate.
If someone was a elite striker, GSP outstriked them, if they were elite wrestlers,GSP outmanoeuvred them. Noone did it better while staying humble the entire time. GOAT
Say it louder!!!!🤘🏻
No one! (Except Khabib)

@@eballer48 Khabib is no humble guy ,Like St-Pierre

When a judo master has a locked kimura on your arm, and you're able to escape that, you're the GOAT.
Kimura wasn't locked in? Where do people get this stuff?
@@huntertruth1139wasn’t locked but dude he was super close with 3,20 left in the 3rd. Look at Karos face you can see he literally thought he was gonna get GSP to tap
absolutely amazing awareness and strength, unbeleivable, even all of the roles
Damn Karl was only 21 and had 20 pro fights already that’s wild.

Exactly what I was thinking. Dude is so bewildered. And I'm not just talking about Rogan.
IKR LOLLLL DESPITE ALL THE BLOOD HE LOOKS CALM LOLLLLL
Karo was no “stepping stone” and to convincingly win over him on your first fight is an indicator you’re destined for greatness.
Didn’t really win “convincingly”. The fight was pretty close but your point is well taken
I agree. Karo was at the top at one point, and for GSP to come in and take a win was huge back then. I remember watching this live. I played Judo for years, and seeing another judoka was fun to watch, but GSP did what he’s always done….win. Excellent old school fight.
karo was one of my fav fighters back in the day , sure there was some controversy with him and leaving the ufc

15:25 Am I the only one who is infinitely impressed by St. Pierre‘s Kimura lock escape? That was legendary!
Definitely not, that was so crazy it's like 1 in a million, to be that tight and for GSP to over power him as if he was a child. Same can be said when Frank Trigg had a deep shot for a takedown and GSP basically said get off of me and a few secs later he basically threw over on his back, which was the beginning of the end for Trigg!
GSP had incredible freak of nature upper body strength. Look how wide his shoulders are. Long arms, he's not shaped like a normal man. Almost like he was engineered for fighting
@@starcityrc3298 Yes, Chael Sonnen talked about this when training with him. He was saying that when GSP would grab your wrist for a move, his grip was like being in a vice. Same when he got arms around you. Any time he grabbed you some way it was like, "Damn this guy is STRONG."
Gsp was training with greats and they all say gsp is strong. Not ever to he underestimated. His wrist and overall body strength is devastating. Gsp learned to balance cardio with mass. He's really the most complete fighter of all time. He has no weaknesses except HIMSELF. HIS WILL.
You're not.
Poor Joe, so convinced Karo was going to pull off a win at any moment.
yee, it's so funny to listen :D
For real, joe always biased and prone to hyperbole
He was riding Karo very hard all fight. He coulda been getting choked out by GSP, and Joe woulda said something like "KAROS GOT ONE OF HIS LEGS HES GONNA GET OUT OF THIS!"
@positive thoughts He's even worse on his podcast. I stopped listening years ago because he either pushes back against what the guest is saying even though he doesn't know what he's talking about, or he blindly agrees with everything they say and then the next episode he's contradicting it and saying the opposite. He's just a fake person that has to be right or has to be liked, a snake in the grass.
LOL Yea Joe was hugging Karos nuts the whole fight
"Karo is a master technician, amazing how he uses his face as bait and absorbs the blows while setting up Gsp for the submission. Incredible!"
And GSP out powered him and pummeled him for the next 3 minutes lol
@@patricklutherwinchester4260 You two dunces don't know what the hell you're watching. GSP beat him for sure but he didn't kick the crap out of him. He took him down and held him there while landing minimal damage. Karo on the other hand almost finished GSP in this fight.
@PJ Rivera "All that blood".... Haha! People with a random nosebleed have had more blood than that, and, yes, that kimura, not straight armbar, was close for a second. Karo reversed a takedown and if you think GSP wasn't shitting himself for a second, you're dumb. Go away, casual.
@PJ Rivera No, it started as a kimura attempt and then GSP straightened his arm out to avoid the submission. Karo was unable to transition to the straight armbar. The initial takedown reversal notwithstanding, it's a basic move taught to white belts in BJJ. Karo was not even close to getting KO'ed and your idea of how badly he was bleeding is comically exaggerated. Another dumb casual talking out of his ass. Go drink another beer.
@PJ Rivera I do know what I'm talking about considering I learned that combination Karo used ages ago. I never said GSP didn't earn the decision or that he didn't do anything effective against Karo. I just said he was indeed good and if you think otherwise you're a stupid casual. Nice job liking your own comments by the way.

this one really highlights the importance of Strength and Conditioning. Many times Georges' raw strength saved him. Karo's submissions were no joke.
I don't think that GSP could've possibly been purely stronger than Karo at that point (or any point, I think). Karo was a grappling specialist, starting at age 8. To develop strength from all that resistence, from such a young age.. ooff. I assume he was much stronger than GSP. However, he lost decisively due to being an inferior MMA athlete.
@@anonymousreviewer169 I'd disagree. You only have so much strength potential I'd reckon gsps max potential strength is just higher than parisyans also gsp had a great training regime for strength and conditioning karo like Joe said never did any dedicated strength training
@@anonymousreviewer169 GSP is still strong as hell though, Chael Sonnen commented on his strength and he held country boy Hughes down.
@@anonymousreviewer169 No GSP was much stronger. Karo himself complained about it and said the only way GSP could have been that atrong was steroids. Karo seemed to ignore that he himself didn't do strength specific training and like you assumed that his years of grappling made him strong enough.
One submission was all Karo ever had
As a canadian, watching GSP dominate the sport for years was such a blessing. Classier than I could ever be. Mad respect to him and mad respect for Karo, it was so close.
I'm sorry that you have to live under Trudeau
It didn't seem at all close though.

Fr & Joe Rogan seeing the sweep coming about a minute in advance & describing the actions Karo is going to take is peak commentary
Yo I'm like bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh forill doh
GSP is by far my favorite, he is the epitomy how fighters should be, lets his work do his talking.. he is just a humble hard working man! love you GSP!
I was a huge fan in the early days, I’ve been turned off by the thug image. GSP epitomizes the true martial arts ethos.

Karo “felt him out in the first round” is definitely one way to put it - he felt out those elbows pretty well with his head.
Lmao 🤣
One judge actually gave Karo the first round.
He deserved it. He's a d bag.
GSP really showcased the future of MMA. In this fight we see it all: immaculate take downs, well timed defenses against an awesome grappler, and viscous ground and pound style strikes. Watching this live was transformative for the sport. This was writing on the wall for coaches who realized that just being the best in your particular style would no longer satisfy in MMA.
Spot on and well said.
While true, it also made the sport more boring. Everybody adopted the same style more or less, and the best athlete or the biggest body frame simply wins.
@@jotunblodtell me you're a casual without saying it.
@@jasunhamilton5008 That would be you. I watched the sport before it was popular. The fact you can't even understand what I said shows you're an NPC.
I remember being so happy when George knocked out Karos tooth.
Joe kept taking about Karo trying to set up submissions he didn’t even mention GSP’s crazy denial rate.
St. Pierre brutalizes Karo for 6 minutes straight. Rogan: Karo has got him right where he wants him. Guy's a bulldog. Karo is remarkably composed.
how many shits do you think you've taken since this fight happened?
As he's bleeding everywhere and completely out of option , Joe making it sound like the only reason GSP was able to avoid getting tapped was brute strength . But you can see his positioning inexperience played a big roll as well .

@Really.cant.say.butYes thats a troll comment, GSP was never on the juice.... this is just laughable, everyone knows GSP was a clean fighter, never tested positive for anything, karo got mauled by a superior fighter
@@KrazieSevin Georges was definitely on something. The notion that he was this clean athlete beating juiceheads is a narrative that is way too good to be true. I'll never believe it.
Prime GSP is one of the best athletes the UFC has ever seen. So springy, bouncy, explosive
Both men so young! Karo had the edge here in this fight having triple the amount of experience. Georges showed everyone who he was.
Joe was gargling Karo’s balls the entire fight.
Everyone thought in those days that Karo was going to be a future champ. GSP just went through him like a hot knife through butter.
True but it's probably because GSP was new and he had nothing to go off of. Towards the end he knew GSP won and wasn't even hurt. So he's not completely blind bias like some people lol.
Lol
@@bluex610 Not gonna lie in those days I actually thought David Loisseau was gonna be champ and that GSP was only OK. Boy was I wrong lol

I can't believe Goldberg thought Karo won round 1. This was easy 3 rds for GSP.
That's Mike Goldberg for ya
Yeah then Joe Rogan had to pretend it was a close round so that he wouldn’t feel like a dumbass
I don’t understand how he though wrapping your legs around someone while being pinned on your back getting punched/elbowed for 4 minutes can win you a round
@@najib9093 LMAO. So true
I guess he was talking about his defense cause he was down on his back the whole round. He got some decent blocks
Joe Rogan “Karo is extremely dangerous when he’s getting his head bounced off the canvas by elbows”
haha...Rogan is a fanboy
just shows how much they know and/or are influenced by other things than the actual fight..
Joe was right. Each time GSP attacked one Karo’s guard, it gave Kari room and he was working for a sub...despite being bounced.
@@ronyeahright9536 except for his martial arts experience.
@@dong9514 so what? he's still a fanboy
What a true natural. Every sport has a perfect athlete; GSP is MMAs.
Agreed. GSP was and always will, even 200 years from now, have a special place in MMA history. The original prototype of the well-rounded, super athlete who can outwrestle pure wrestlers, strike on the level of A tier kickboxers, and has BJJ sufficient to roll with lower level ADCC competitors.
Karo was an elite grappler but the game was starting to change at this point. As Joe said, he never hit the weight room. It's tough to submit a guy that just far bigger and stronger. That Kamura would've finished most guys. GSP was just a superior athlete.
When given equal skill ( Karos' Judo, GSP's wrestling/BJJ ) the stronger guy usually wins.
You have no clue how it works a lot of fighters don’t lift weights that much…and I know karo personally he is insanely strong he just doesn’t look like it his physique is trrrible but I he was my roommate in rehab and I was a d1 wrestler I couldn’t even move him he through my on the ground in 2 seconds…George st Pierre is just a unique individual he had way less training then karo and dominated him because he is a freak athlete
@@joesettle3898 I thought I was a freakishly strong judo guy until a short spar with Karo put a quick end to that confidence. I guarantee 99.9% of the people here criticizing him have never felt strength like that.
@@CNYKnifeNut it wasn't a secret that karo didn't train to his potential. He was strong but if he could've had George's dedication his career wouldn't ended so quickly.
@@joesettle3898 I always heard karo wasn't as dedicated once he got in the UFC though. I mean you can tell he had a bit of extra weight on him, which isn't normal for 155/170lbers.
“George needs to watch out, he’s destroying Karo on the ground and viciously beating seven shades of shit out of him”
He is right where he want him!
Karo heard a rumor GSP has glass hands, so Karo did facial muscle exercises and gamed to go after those hands! (That's almost as crazy as some of the Fedor fan musings.)
Karo showed up with a knife and fork ready to eat a whole menu of GSP ground and pound

GSP beats tf out of Karo the whole fight Joe Rogan: Karo is just looking for an opening to get a submission Karo: *continues to get the shit beat out of him*
yea rogan was delusional the whole fight
nasomaz He wasn’t delusional. GSP almost got submitted after an opening but escaped and continued to beat the crap out of him.
Karo was tuning GSP up on the feet. Grease St Pierre had to dry hump him to win. Greasy St Pierre is the Lance Armstrong of MMA. An obvious juicer that didn’t get caught
Tay Tha Goon I can say he almost completely ignored GSP’s elbows. It’s just that you are too impressed by someone’s one skill that you forget to know his or her weakness as well.
Well Joe was right. That's exactly what Karo was trying to do. He almost got it done a couple of times in the 1st round and once in the 3rd.
That’s probably the toughest ufc debut I’ve seen
Perhaps...but Anderson Silva has the best UFC debut ever, maybe
@@Spontaneous72 Justin Gaethje had the best debut fight but Silva's performance was probably the best debut, right on

"karo's just looking for a opening here" as gsp is elbowing in the face. The definition of telling one side of the story lol
Love how Joe pauses from worshiping Karo to say "Good punch from George"
Right lol. Gsp dominated that fight. Out grappled, ground and pound. He just beat on him. They acted as if he would pull off a submission at anytime. George just rolled him over into his guard.
Joe Rogan is in love with Karo during this fight

Being on the bottom actually provides more scenarios where you can get a submission and it is pretty advantageous if you know what you are doing.
Smokey McGee yes but if you aren’t doing damage or finishing a submission it won’t win rounds. I love playing from my guard but that doesn’t mean I would elect to take the bottom position with a strong wrestler on top of me throwing punches.
13:30 “he looks clam” hahaha
Karo was so active off his back, phenomenal submission attempts. Does not get enough credit in the decision or the record books for how skilled of a performance this was. On GSPs side this is a masterclass in submission defense and wrestling. What a great fight for it’s time
Poetry in motion. Karo was on another level, but gsp was the new gen
Mark: George walks around at 180-185 so he’s huge for the weight class Current 155 lb division 🤫
Dustin Poirier: 🤫🤫🤫
Kabob???
@@joeshuge kabob was 176 I mean yeah he was pretty big. And Dustin porter walks 190 lol
@@Potatodrumcrow kabob walks around over 190 and fought at lightweight that's over 40 lbs he drops to fight guys naturally smaller.
@@joeshuge he doesn't cut 40lbs. He leans down during camp long before a fight
You guys keep saying that Steven Seagal can't fight but the way he kicked the shit out of his ex wife is a true testament of his skills
Oh wow😂😂😂
Nice comment. No way you took that from someone else??
Dana White Pfffffhahahahaha
Dana White that might be the best comment I’ve ever seen🤣
Damn Dana white that is plagiarism at its finest. Too bad I can't sue you for taking my comment. But when you can't think of something clever to say just take a clever person's comment and pass it off as your own.
Oh how I miss these days. The UFC just doesn't feel the same anymore.
Yeah ufc was awesome back then. Those were the good days
Man!!! I really miss early 2000s UFC When times were similar
Punches and elbows raining down. Meanwhile, Steve Mazzagatti tells fighters to work right before standing them up. Biggest idiot in MMA history.
No idea what fight he was watching there...
He is without a doubt the worst.
Agreed, but it's also down pressure of the fans booing if the fighters are doing anything but boxing, it's so annoying, go to a boxing match if that's what you want to see.
Yeah I am genuinely confused by what happened at 17:17... I feel like that would not happen nowadays.
The beginning of Georges St. Pierre's journey in the UFC towards GOAT status.
Damn right! My favorite fighter of all time in and out of the octagon! A class act!
GSP lives a life of a real martial artist. Guys a goat.
Fancy standing them up when GSP was still scoring hits in Karo. GSP is a legend.
Since GSP was champion for so long we just take for granted that he is phenomenal, but for those not aware of the context at the time, this was a huge step up in competition for GSP and he was not really expected to win as Karo Parisyan was a very talented rising prospect back then. This fight kind of derailed him of his illusions and he didn't really emerge as the great fighter we expected and I suggest this loss was the grain of sand in his confidence shoe that he could never really ignore. After all, if this was Georges' first fight, how much better could this kid become?
His first UFC fight. His 6th fight technically. Only 22. I'm the same age as Georges. Long time ago 2003 I believe.
I’m not sure it’s accurate to say that this fight derailed his illusions. In his next fight he won the WEC welterweight title and had the longest winning streak of his career. In fact he only lost one in the four years that followed this fight and that was a fight of the year battle. It seems like he was as successful after this fight as he ever was.
@Hog Nutz Multiple WEC guys became UFC champion though
@Hog Nutz doesn't matter. Back in the day, WEC wasn't the B League like Bellator was. They had just as much popularity as UFC did and were a serious contender to the UFC. Same as Strikeforce.
Expod wow listen to u go lol luv gsp but he was boring as Shiite
Gsp on top getting strikes in, active Mazzagatti : Let`s go guys come on stay busy Gsp still on top getting more strikes in, ups the pace Mazzagatti : Stop! Let`s stand up What an idot of a ref
Lolol classic mazzigatti fuk imagine how many fights would have been different had this bozo not been the ref lol Fukin Steve
I wanted to headbutt my laptop
I hear he's still hiding from Brock.
I was thinking the same damn thing. Was the ref just crowd pleasing with that bullshit? GSP was pretty much throwing non-stop punches WHILE the ref tells them to keep busy, which GSP followed up with more punches and the ref stands them up. THAT WAS SOME CLASS A BULLSHIT!
The worst ref in the business
Karo has beautiful jujitsu and GSP just stifled it. A prime example of why GSP is just the GOAT. Loved rewatching this fight.
And I love how bias the commentators are praising Kari while his taking a shit kicking.
Actually Judo.
Joe: Karo is gonna use his foot as a hook and sweep St-Pierre onto his back and take a kimura from there GSP: *Literally picks Karo up and slams him*
This Georges St-Pierre guy looks like he has potential in the UFC...
Doubt it
wtf
It was in the 2004!
