Meh, haven't cared about Karo in a while. He's a total prick, and has lost the Je ne sais quoi that made him so fun to watch. Now, he is simply a pompous prick that isn't fun to watch, and keeps dropping out of fights.

In fact, I hope he is cut, because I'm tired of hearing about it.

I like watching Karo fight, but this doesnt set the UFC back in the least bit. People arent buying pay per views to watch Karo fight, he isnt exactly a big name. The only person that is hurting from this is Karo, he just went from being on the main card of a UFC pay per view to having a huge question mark attached to his name when he tries to find another contract somewhere else.

Should have bumped the Caol Uno fight to the main card as opposed to Paulo Thiago. I've been hearing good things about his opponent, and a game Uno can be a very entertaining fighter. Ah, well. Tough break for Karo, but there's only so many times you can play games before promoters say no more. I've never minded Karo all that much, but to say the WW division, and indeed the UFC will miss him is a bit of an overstatement.

This would have been a nice fight to see, however IMO it wasn't one of the fights I was excited about.

Wiki changed the entry which is too bad because I would have loved to read the original input.

As far as the questions as to why, I think it has been well explained, he is an addict and addicts lie. As far as doctors not prescribing 3 kinds of pain killers, most do not, its simply unethical. If someone were to go to three different doctors however, they could have three different presciptions, which is med seeking, a common behavior of addicts. I personally don't believe anything that Karo had to say about his pulling out, his first instinct to not dealing with the real issue is to lie.

Of course Dana is pissed, rightfully so. I just hope that after the initial shock he comes to understand that Karo is suffering from a disease and as unfortunate as some of his actions have been in the last year, in a lot of ways he can't help himself. If Karo fights again in another promotion he better do extremely well if there would even be a chance to see him in the octagon again.

Surely the UFC would have a stand by fighter considering Karo's past history....

Exclusive: Karo Parisyan forced to pull out of UFC 106 due to addiction to pain killers

Dana White dropped the bombshell earlier this afternoon via his Twitter account, twelve-time Octagon veteran Karo Parisyan has been cut from the UFC due to his having pulled out of his anticipated UFC 106 welterweight clash with Dustin Hazelett.

According to White, “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.”

Well FiveOuncesofPain.com has had the opportunity to ask why.

Longtime friend and training partner to Karo, along with being the head Jiu-Jitsu instructor down at Xtreme Couture, Neil Melanson recently received Parisyan’s blessing to clear the air regarding the circumstances surrounding his recent withdraw from Saturday evening’s card.

Karo Parisyan has suffered from a brutal battle with an addiction to pain-killers for some time now. The Armenian born Judo specialist was first introduced to the widely addictive drugs following a severe hamstring injury sustained training for a scheduled welterweight title clash with Matt Hughes that never came to fruition. A long series of injuries following the injury that prevented what would have been the biggest fight of his career has created the monster that currently haunts Karo today.

Check back with FiveOuncesofPain.com shortly as we will have a much more expansive explanation of the details surrounding Karo’s removal from UFC 106 as explained through close friend Neil Melanson in the coming hours.
I would never say i told you so...
