How many years until Karo gets a title shot?

Does anyone think Karo will get a title shot in 2008?
Maybe 2009?
2010?
Will he ever get a title shot?
Hes 8-1 in his last nine fights, with a (split) loss to Diego
I hope when the Serra/GSP smoke settles, Karo will be in the title picture with Fitch.

When he starts beating top 10 people, that's when.

He's proven he can beat decent fighters, but every top 10 WW he's fought, he's lost to (GSP, Diego).

Oh, and speaking of 8-1, that is how often in his last fights he's gone to decision vs finishing his opponent.

hate to say this but the way things are going he'll probably get one before machida does. at least people are not afraid to fight him.

He is one of the best fighters that will most likely never get a belt, and possibly never get a shot at it. Sucks for him, but it a sign of a very talent rich weight division

he doesn't deserve it. He's dodging fitch. A true contender is afraid to fight no one

He's being practical. He's already had one title shot taken away from him, he doesn't want it happening again.

his last fight with chonan was just plain awful. he lost to diego too. He needs to beat a top contender first like fitch or hughes.

I thought he'd maybe do the Andy Kaufman thing and fight for the womens title.
