Dana White says Karo Parisyan ‘F***ed the UFC’, now on a lifetime ban

Karo, I think Dana White’s pissed off with you. I mean I could be looking too far into it but Dana White said that you sort of ‘F*** the UFC’ be pulling out of the fight the day before weigh-ins. He also said that you’re never fighting in the UFC again but that sounds like something you should talk to him about. Just giving you the heads up man, before it ends up on some MMA site where it will be read by thousands of people across the world. Damn.

 

 

Here is what Karo told MMAWeekly

“There’s a lot of problems going on. They won’t re-license me unless I (expletive) pay them. I had to pay the $32,000 fine in order to fight. I never paid because I never had the money. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back…Everything is over bro. I’m just going to go home. Everything is fucked up. I’ve got to think about what I’m going to do for my career. I’ve got to think about what I want to do as far as fighting goes.”

And here’s the update from the Nevada State Athletic Commission:

…Parisyan had already been fully licensed last January and was cleared to fight this Saturday. Kizer said Parisyan had not been required to take a pre-fight drug test for the painkillers he had been flagged for in January, as they would be tested the night of the bout.

Parisyan had contacted Kizer a few weeks ago to discuss a “nagging, lingering injury,” Kizer said, and asked what proper medications he could take prior to the bout. Kizer said he instructed Parisyan that Tylenol and icing was the safest method, but encouraged the fighter to have his physician send in a letter stating his injuries and what medications he was taking for it, so the NSAC doctor could work with him.

Kizer spoke again with Parisyan within the last week to discuss a payment plan for the $32,000 fine the fighter had previously accrued. Kizer said that NSAC Chairman Pat Lundvall had agreed to disperse payment for the fine out of the fighter’s show and win purse for this weekend.

“We knew (Parisyan) was having some financial difficulties and wanted to try and help him,” Kizer told Sherdog.com. It was agreed that $16,000 would be deducted from each purse and in the case of a loss, Parisyan would make further arrangements to settle up the remaining balance. Kizer said Parisyan seemed pleased with the arrangement.
