[Point Blank]

Should be a good one. I'm going with Ortiz.

 

[Tailback U]

Shit I accidentally voted for Ortiz when I meant to vote for Forrest.

 

[SHOGUN]

Such bullshit to see Uno on the prelims - and he's not even on SPIKE. He deserves much better.

:smh:

EDIT: And don't get me started on that bullshit robbery vs. Spencer Fisher.....

 

[Primetime]

Going with:

Forrest
Rumble
Sadollah
Nogueira
Parisyan
Saunders
Rosholt
Tiago
Larson
Uno
Sotiropoulos

Very excited for this card.

Lil Nog in the UFC HELL YEAH

I'm going with Tito. Assuming he's 100%, he should be nothing but takedowns and G&P. I don't think Forrest can defend those takedowns as good as he did in 06.

Sadollah/Baroni should be fun.

 

[calgaryballer]

Yeah, Nog-Cane is the one I am really stoked for.

Isn't BigPapa rolling into this one?

Yup, flying out damned early Saturday morning. Kinda disappointing that the first UFC I get to attend live is a pretty meh card, but at least its not just a FNL or something...

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

LMAO @ Caol Uno being all the way at the BOTTOM of the prelims? Wtf are they thinking? Uno was better off staying in Japan. Fuck you Dana.

I have to believe Tito will be a little rusty, not exactly the guy you wanna be fighting as a "warm up fight". I got Forrest.

its a shame brock had to pull out of the card but i think its still a pretty decent lineup. tito-griffin is an interesting fight kos/johnson has the makings of being an exciting fight and i personally would love to see Lil Nog and Baroni. not a top shelf card for sure but not that bad overall. i would love to be there when tito comes out, the place is gonna be going nuts.

 

[Liquidrob]

holy crap, this is this saturday? lol, no wonder these cards are getting weaker and weaker

Two UFC has beens headlining? Tito has finished a fighter not name Ken Shamrock in years and Forrest was last seen getting KO'd out of the building

Tito probably wins a decision, both of thes eguys cant bust a grape, but atleast Tito has been training, I dont think Forrest has done much since losing to And1

Best fight is Lil Nog and Cane, I would think Lil Nog can take this

Kos/AJ is a pretty good fight also, I'm going with Kos

I think I will be watching Kessler vs Ward on Saturday night, I dont want to hate on this card because my boy BigPapa is going, but this should be a free one

If they had mixed this with last weeks card, we'd have had a winner. But you can't predict something like Brock getting some kind of crazy ass disease

Another fight bites the dust, from the UG via Dana's twitter

Via DW's Twitter:

Karo Parisyan has fucked over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting saturday or ever again in the UFC!!

Maybe roids again? I wonder what this means

Man, the UFC is getting killed with injuries and weird shit happening lately

 

[EmpireWF]

Karo Parisyan FTW


Panic attack, fear of testing positive again (if he hasn't already supplied a sample...although I'm sure he has had to since he's coming off a suspension)...who knows.


White's second tweet:

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.

 

[Liquidrob]

'Do you know who I am Bro?' - Karo

 

[EmpireWF]

No replacement fight for Hazelett

White tweet #3 on the matter

Dustin will be paid his full purse to show and win. Its not his fault.

That must suck working for a few months to train, cut, whatever and then not fight. Of course, I'm sure it's sweet to earn the money and not have to get beaten up.

 

[SHOGUN]

Not cool, bro.

I actually liked Karo when he was actually fighting. I hope he uses this time to get his life in order and then come back to MMA with a clear mind.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

karo "the decision" is a fucking bum. some org will pick him up just cause he fought in the ufc

 

[BigBiss]

Better then 2 hrs befor the show, Dana is a cry baby

Karo “The Heat” Parisyan is out of UFC 106 after failing to acquire a license in Nevada, according to Parisyan, due to not having the money to pay his fine from previously being suspended after testing positive for a three different pain killers following his UFC 94 bout with Kim Dong-hyun.

“There’s a lot of problems going on. They won’t re-license me unless I (expletive) pay them,” Parisyan told MMAWeekly.com. “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.”

UFC president Dana White posted on his twitter account, “Karo Parisyan has (expletive) over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again! He will not be fighting Saturday or ever again in the UFC!”

“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,” added 27-year old Parisyan. “I’ve got to think about what I want to do as far as fighting goes.”

This is the second time Parisyan has backed out of a UFC bout close to the event. He was scheduled to fight Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 88, but pulled out for an alleged back injury right before the weigh-ins.
