Karo Parisyan Injured, UFC 88 Bout Against Yoshiyuki Yoshida Scrapped
By: Kris Karkoski (admin) | Sep 5, 2008
A scheduled bout between Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida has been scrapped after Parisyan suffered a last-minute back injury.
UFC.com reported the injury and card change moments ago.
The severity of the injury, including how long Parisyan will be out of action, was not disclosed.
The fight was to take place on the televised pay-per-view main card.
UFC 88 will now feature nine bouts, including four televised main card matchups.
WTF ??????
Did he panic again or what ?
ahhh man this sucks…i wanted to see him in the cage again…
Noooooo! Yoshida was supposed to make his mark on the division tomorrow!
Cold….but kind of funny…
I’d have to say karo got cold feet . he must have read yoshida’s comments on how he thought his judo was superior to karo’s and he realized it was true .it would have been a devstating loss right now for him . one that he may never get back into contention for a title ever again . facing that possability was too much and the attacks set in again .I like karo and was looking forward to the results …… and it resulted in a similair ending to when he was to face hughes .
looks like UFC is losing alot of fights now ….. thiago silva is injured and wont be facing machida at ufc 89 . Wonder why all these guys are backing out of their fights ? The reports are of injuries but thats alot of key injuries . Hm wonder if the UFC is guilty of false promises ….. “hey we got these killer cards you’re gonna talk bout right up until they happen then we cancel half the bouts” . Now the card has declined in quality but we sure did get excited didnt we ?
He’s never been able to win the big fight…and this one wasn’t going to be any different. It just slows Yoshida’s climb to to the top, which makes me more mad than anything. I like Karo, i’ve always rooted for him…but an injury, a day before the fight?? Most fighters don’t do any contact a day before the fight…correct??
Anybody onsite in ATL?
Anybody in the know about WEC next week?
I never heard that Thiago Silva was hurt… that kinda sucks. Machida and Silva are my two favorite fighters, so i didn’t really like the match-up anyway…but it definately was going to be exciting.
i didnt know about silva either…any idea who is replacement will be!??!
and what fight will replace karo’s on the televised card!?!!?!?
I hope Dong Hyun Kim vs Matt Brown makes it on air now.
And nobody will probably replace Silva…nobody wants to fight Machida.
Read all about Thiago Silva’s injury at mmaweekly.com. Machida deserves a good opponent, but there’s no idea who would replace Silva. Noone wants to fight Lyoto.
they should ask stephan bonnar…he won 2 strait..and i think he would take the fight!!!
no way these guys train to hard all they do is get injered, maybe rampage will step up and kick his ass (machida)
rampage is gunna be fightin wanderlei…I say we throw guyborg in against machida…anybody with me?
DUDE HOLY $HIT!!! WTF!! I hella wanted to see this fight. Judo vs Judo. This is crazy He probably had a panic attack LOL
Holy $hit!!! Where do you guys read thiago silva was injured??? fu%%$K!!! Thiago was gonna kick his ass, i can’t stand Machida!!! DAMN!!! who do you gusy think is gonna get machida??? DUDE!!! ALL THESE FIGHTERS GETTING INJURED IS MESSING ALL THES KOOL CARDS UP!!!
2 injuries man I thought all the rain was outside…
I thought rampage was fightinng rua next ? Where did wand vs rampage come in ?
Karo chickened out of that fight. I bet had another “panic attack” and he said to him self that he is going to be TKO’d again.
I really dislike Karo, he is a ****y **** and talks a lot of crap. He said that he was going to beat Yoshida and send him back to Japan, Sure he will.
MMARated.com has learned that a light heavyweight bout between Wanderlei Silva and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has been offered to both fighters for UFC 91 on November 15th and is very close to being finalized.
The addition of Silva vs. Jackson to a UFC 91 card that is already headlined by Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar for the UFC heavyweight title would put this pay-per-view in position to be the highest-grossing PPV in UFC history. Currently, UFC 66 holds that distinction since that event - headlined by a rematch between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz - grossed $5,397,300 in live gate revenue and just over a million in pay-per-view buys.
This would be the third meeting between Silva and Jackson. “The Axe Murderer” holds two wins over Jackson while they were members of the PRIDE Fighting Championships in 2003 and 2004.
Can’t speak jaw on floor…Dana will make the 11/15 is looking like a fan’s dream.
Can’t type either…:)
COUGH COUGH PU$$Y COUGH COUGH
I’d rather see pellegrino vs tavares than brown vs hong dong kim….
How about that… poor little Karo is hurt again… who would have thought such a thing possible… The fact that he’s not fighting will save him the trouble of whinning about why he lost… he’s just a little punk with a big mouth.
I have to admit thought that his fight with Sanchez was really entertaining especially at the end when he caught Diego’s knee with his chin and his tooth came flying out… priceless.
lol dolfang…anyone know where I can see that fight again on the internet?? one of my favorite fights definately
yea karo is a punk…ever since the tuf season that produced nate diaz…remember when he tried punking nate…karo thought he was the $h1t…just because he had like 30 freaken pounds on him!!!!! man the guy is a jerk…i couldn’t stand the way he was acting during that episode…i just wish someone will come along and really beat the crap out of him to bring him down off of his high horse!!!!!!!!!
HIM AND HIS G@Y COUSIN MANNY IM GLAD HE GOT DROPPED BY EMERSON… OH AND RHYMSESKILL FYI IT WAS SEASON 5
