UFC 106: Karo Parisyan Out, Keith Kizer on Removal of Fight Card | read this item

Earlier today the UFC 106 main card took a big hit as former welterweight contender Karo ‘The Heat’ Parisyan has pulled out of his bout with Dustin Hazelett for unspecified reasons leaving UFC President Dana White fuming and stating that the Armenian born fighter will never compete for the promotion ever again.

According to Dana White’s Twitter he says that Parisyan has screwed over the organization and his opponent once again and will never fight inside the Octagon anymore.

“Karo Parisyan has fucked over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting saturday or ever again in the UFC!!”

White also commented that Karo has withdrawn from the fight with a list of excuses, but did not mention what they were.

“Pulled out of the fight the day before weigh-ins again with a laundry list of excuses.”

Parisyan has had a lot of troubles as of late as he pulled out of a UFC 88 match-up with Yoshiyuki Yoshida due to a knee injury and upon his return in early January at UFC 94 his win over Dong Hyun Kim was overturned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission due to a prescription of banned painkillers and now this as no word has been reported as to why he pulled out of the fight now, but may have to do with his past troubles with panic attacks which have caused him a lot of problems.

NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer who handed the suspension to Parisyan tells MMAWeekly.com that he was having trouble paying out his fine and would work with him to pay out his debt, but had no idea that he has withdrawn from the UFC 106 event despite being medically cleared to compete by the board.

However, when asked by Parisyan if he could take something stronger than Tylenol, Kizer said that was all he could take and if he needed to take something more stronger that their doctors would have to approve it.

“He said, ‘is there any way I could take something stronger than Tylenol?’” recalled Kizer. “I said not without our doctor saying okay.”

Dana White would also go on to say that Parisyan’s opponent, Dustin Hazelett would receive his pay to show up for the fight and the added winning pay due to the fact that he was ready to fight and it was not his fault at all.

Karo is an amazing fighter the only fighter who utlizes throws every single person on this site doesn’t know the truth and onlu assming things! The deal was
He was suspended for 9 months the guy comes back and the commissions make a deal with him that “karo as soon as you fight pay the 32,000 and he said after my fight for sure!! That was the deal! Then LAST minute change ****ing the head of commission said your license is suspended you need to pay now.. WTF?? How can the guy pay at the last minute when he hasn’t been fighting for months???? After his fight he was going too.. Piece of **** white got all pissed cause he couldn’t do **** or argue his way with the commissions and was going to pay dustin out of his “OWN” pocket told karo I can’t do anything!! Karo was ready to FIGHT he waited too ****ing long.. for this bull****!! Dana had the ****ing money could of paid and karo would of paid him back after his fight plain and simple!!! screw dana for what he did that money was peanuts for him!! Basically they ****ing lied and said pay the 32,000 after the fight which was the deal which they could have said weeks before not at the last minute when the guy is ready to fight and telling him oh you can’t your license is suspended!! It’s pure bull****.. I think his going to fight for strikforce not sure though.. has all the talent and skills in the world!!
Karo is a great guy honest so fuck you for barking out of your stupid ass!!!
