At a height of 5"10" and an off-season peak weight of 225 lbs, Karla was well known for her mixed wrestling videos which featured her in videos where she wrestled much smaller men most of the time in her own videos that she sold.

She also wrestled women (competitive, semi-competitive, and submission style) where she was undefeated until her confrontation against Nicole Bass, renowned to be "the world"s largest fbb" (6"2" and 240 lbs), who was the only one to dominate her in a competitive match produced by Mass Muscle.
