Karo-parisyan

Karo Parisyan training with Greg Jackson:

Parisyan: I’ll be heading to Albuquerque July 12th to get ready for my next fight which is September 6th against Yoshida, a Japanese guy who choked out the kid ("War Machine") from the TV show (The Ultimate Fighter 6). So I’m fighting him September 6th, and I’m heading out to New Mexico to train with Rashad (Evans), (Georges) St. Pierre, and everybody else.

Parisyan: I have so much anger built up inside of me I just feel bad for whoever stands in front of me. But you know, its very important bro. I want this fight, but eventually I’ll fight Thiago on paper. In the rematch its going to be disturbing what I’m going to do to Thiago Alves. I promise to you, and I promise to everyone else it will be disturbing what I do to Thiago Alves. But its like I’ve never been stopped like that in a fight, never been robbed like that in a fight. At this point right now, I just have to think about my future fight. I can’t think about the fight with Alves, I can’t (think) that I wasn’t there mentally, that I was burnt out. All this shit was going on inside my head, but I can’t think about any of that stuff. Thiago, he won on paper, he beat me, he beat Matt Hughes, he deserves it. He took the fight very serious and the best man won that day. But at this point I want to make an example of Yoshida and everyone else who’s going to stand in front of me until I can get my title shot and get my title. Eventually it will happen I just gotta take the fight game very serious. My worst enemy has always been that I’ve been too talented to train, and now it's catching up with me. I gotta start training or those guys will start catching up with me.

Seems like Karo has some deep seeded issues with himself and that loss. Hopefully training with StPierre he can get his mental game together. But all in all I still think Yoshida takes this fight

all you gotta do is...

Karo’s got a ton of work to do, mentally and physically, to be an elite 170 again. He’s his own worst enemy.

“In the rematch its going to be disturbing what I’m going to do to Thiago Alves.”-karo

Yes, taking him to yet another decision, will greatly disturb me.

Heat need a cold shower

I had the good fortune to train with Gokor and Judo Gene when Karo was still training there. Yes he is a great judoka.. a child prodigy for sure. This interview shows his obvious short comings. He is not a great striker like the best in his division. He has shown that when faced with an oppenent equally versed on the ground that he will lose teeth in a stand up against someone who is also not a great striker. He is so arrogant and that is his problem. He wasn’t robbed he got a knee in his face and his eyes rolled back, watch the fight. Beat the best before you say your the best. Stay out of peoples personal space and you wont have a conflict like you did with Diaz. GSP would smash U

Yep. He’ll get a ton of smashing training with GSP. Hopefully, he’ll get humbled by the experience.

Wow. Get over yourself, Karo.

I think he just phrased that poorly. Many people fail to learn a proper work ethic because things came too easily to them early on.

Karo needs to realize the competition has caught up and past him. Bravado alone doesn’t cut it anymore.
