Quote of the Day: Karo Parisyan

by Nick Thomas on Jun 21, 2008 4:18 PM EDT

"Chuck (Liddell) lost two fights in a row, but he was still considered one of the best light heavyweights in the world." "Wanderlei (Silva) got knocked out twice and lost his third fight to Chuck, but he was still considered as one of the toughest 205-pounders in the world. And I still consider myself in the top five in the world."

"(Do I) accept the decision that I got [expletive] in my ass with no lube?" "Yeah, I can accept that. Other than that, (have I) accepted the loss? I have no other choice but to accept the loss because of what happened to me.

-- Karo Parisyan confirmed that he is close to signing a bout agreement to face Yoshiyuki Yoshida (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC 88 on Sept. 6.

Did he really compare himself to Liddell and Silva?

They're throwing Karo to the wolves here

No warm up match against a European import or a TUF fighter for Karo.

But,,,

Karo himself said he is one of the top 5 in the world.

Yeah, but it would be huge for him if he pulled off a win.

not really

Yoshida isn’t a name fighter yet in the states so Karo’s in a nothing to win, lots to lose position.

He’s such a whiny bitch! And he should never compare himself w the Iceman n Wandy, he wishes he was a fighter of that caliber

I think I saw something like this on an IQ test…

Which one doesn’t fit:

Liddell, Silva, Yoshida, Parisyan

“(Do I) accept the decision that I got [expletive] in my ass with no lube?”

god i love Karo…... for quotes like this. the guys just doesn’t give a shit. if he thinks joe silva fucked him, he’s gonna come right out and say joe silva fucked me. he was about the only guy to speak out over the afflcition t-shirt ban as well, (mmapayout had a piece about how he called up joe silva and read him the riot act about that one). my favorite quote by him was during an interview he said that Dana told him he’d have a place in the ufc forever, so Karo said maybe that’s a good thing and maybe that’s a bad thing then went on about his title shot drama. win or lose, in the ufc or not…I’m a karo mark.

Wow

I really never like Karo, but this about puts the nail in the coffin! Yoshida looks like a strong WW contender and I see him putting in work against Karo.

all you gotta do is...
