Fitch is fighting Gono in march so the UFC obiviously is giving Karo the next title shot. Why? Just cause Karo's been in the organization longer? Fitch is 6-0 What was the point of the diego fight?
They want to give Karo a marketing push, he feels that people just don't know who he is.
The only possible rationalization for giving Karo a shot is that he owned the current champ.
Karo does not deserve a title shot. He cannot touch any of the top 5 and has beaten nobody to warrant getting a shot ahead of Fitch or Kos.
