Karo Parisyan Pulls Out of UFC 106 Match, Will Never Again Fight In the UFC
UFC President Dana White announced on Thursday via his Twitter that Karo Parisyan has pulled out of his scheduled welterweight fight against Dustin Hazelett at UFC 106 on November 21.
White said:
“Karo Parisyan has (expletive) over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting Saturday or ever again in the UFC!! Pulled out of the fight the day before weigh-ins again with a laundry list of excuses!!! Let the press ask Karo why! Let him explain.
Dustin will be paid his full purse to show and win. It’s not his fault.”
Parisyan was set to come back from a drug suspension for using prescription painkillers that were detected during post-fight drug testing following his victory over Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 94 in January. The win was later overturned to a no-decision.
This isn’t the first time Parisyan pulls out of a fight at the last minute. He was scheduled to take on Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88 in September 2008, but withdrew prior to the match due to injury.
