Karo Parisyan‘s struggle with prescription pills may have lead to his dismissal from the UFC, possibly for good, but it hasn’t dampened his fiery temperament any. While at an MMA event to corner one of his fighters, “The Heat” spoke with MMAPrime.tv and really didn’t have many nice things to say about his fighter’s performance that night. You can’t blame Parisyan. He told his guy to keep his hands up high but, as Karo puts it, “he fucked up.”
That might seem harsh, but everyone has their own coaching style. Some guys pick you up after a loss and tell you that everything’s going to be fine. Karo is not one of those guys. He comes from the ‘What the hell is your freaking problem?!’ school of thought.
As for his own career, Parisyan says he’ll be back in action somewhere, some time, though he appears to have no idea how that might actually happen. He’s still got enough name value that some promotion is going to be willing to take a chance on him. Hopefully he’s kicked the pill addiction and can make a real go of it. Otherwise we might be seeing Parisyan on a future episode of “Intervention,” sitting in a hotel room next to Manny Gamburyan as he explains the various ways in which his cousin’s addiction has affected him.

commentsHow low does Karo have to drop before he realizes he has to be a decent person as well as a good fighter?
Or maybe "Karpets". Or maybe both, who am I to judge.
I certainly hope he beats his addiction problems. Would love top see him eventually get back in the UFC. But in the meantime, a short tour-of-duty in Strikforce wouldn't be bad....
