One of my wrestling coaches and training partners Karl "No Worries" Reed is fighting tonight at 205. Tons of talent, solid wrestling and good striking tied together by a relentless work ethic. Hopefully he starts to make a name for himself tonight.

Tough loss. Frustrating to hear Snoop and Uriah talking about a former collegiate wrestler and current assistant college wrestling coach having "no grappling background". Karl was in great shape and usually has a huge gas tank, Olsen did a good job grinding him down.

He looked good no shame in that loss. Olson was a tough sob and ate shots and then grinded. I would watch both again

He clearly has enormous potential. I could be completely off, because I wouldn't call myself an expert, but it was frustrating to see him keep backing up toward the fence, when he clearly is good at circling and was lighting the guy up. It seems like he fights more like he's on an open mat just responding to his opponent without taking into account where he is in the cage. That's where the experience difference comes into play I guess.

Yea snoops a fucking moron. There will be plenty of backlash over that since dogg said it when they put his commentary on the main stream. Now everybody heard it and hopefully he gets replaced

Agreed. That was not the Karl I see in the gym. I think this will just be a bump in the road for him and he will still wind up in a big promotion as he gains some more experience.

Snoop Dawg is the guy that makes me not go somewhere to watch a fight. Nothing more fucking agonizing than some guy that everybody else there thinks is special, who knows absolutely nothing about fighting, extemporizing fucking endlessly about what he thinks is going on.

SD is a gifted human, and sometimes that sticks out, but most of the time it's fucking unbearable. The only upside is his dumbness gets Uriah to make some comments he wouldn't otheriwise make.

I came on here specifically to bitch about this, due to being in the middle of watching these fights right now.

In other news, the female fight was a fuckin joke.
