Surprise! Karo Parisyan training for UFC 88 Yoshiyuki Yoshida fight

surprise indeed. i clicked on to the site and karos mid-section looked much better than in a long while. i mean he was never a cut, buff dude, but his last fight with alves, that boy had some love-handles. should be a great fight if karo is motivated, and he should be. i know he gets made fun of alot (including myself) but a motivated karo is a dangerous fighter. if he wins, i would like to see him fight the winner of hardy/gono.

he does look more in shape.. hes usually got some love-handles .. never a six pack.

Hope he comes in good shape or he might just have to move down in weight… he seriously cant keep half assing it and expect to win.

I really hope Karo bounces back with a big win here. He’s a great fighter.

“Do you know who I am ,, seriously do you know who I am” Karo BURGER KING Parsien will be destroyed,, can’t wait,, he will be hitting a triple whopper after getting his butt handed to him to catch up on lost time ,,,,!

Could you imagine if any other fighter showed in the shape that Karo is in these pictures ,, they would be torn a new a@#hole…he looks like crap compared to the other top tier fighters … I guess i shouldnt compare him to top tier fighters until he actually beats one!

Maybe it’s me, but I still think he should learn the art of cutting weight and fight at 155.

Karo usually is No Joke
Judo is fun to watch but other than scoring
take downs it isn’t very useful in MMA…
Unless he uses his Judo to setup submissions
I think he’d do better letting the Judo games go…

By the way, nice to see all you guys awake at this late hour and responding to posts.

It’s pretty cHill here. Kinda raining outside though. Do you live in the Philippines?

I can’t believe Rogge tried to silence Bolt. What a dingleberry!

IT’s random posting time here!

yea, sad that the olympics are over! “Lightning” Bolt and Phelps owned.. soo to the pic Karo still looks fat i can’t understand how u can look like that when you’re supposed to be a professional athlete..

Karo trains?! Still won’t change anything- Yoshida via upset.

Karo only lost 2 of his last 10. Go look at who he fought. Those guys were NOT chumps either. The biggest knock on him was that he couldn’t finish. Just by watching him recently, it looked like his standup is improved even though it hasn’t translated to T/KOs. He has that to fall back on if his and Yoshi’s Judo cancel each other out. He was getting the better of alves for the first round before he got dropped. In this fight, I hope we get to see Judo moves. But I also like Karo softening Yoshi up with some body shots and then going for the FINISH! Sorry I can’t pick new booty over Karo. He’s been in the game too long and he’s a proud dude who’s pissed off right about now.

If you fight for a living as Karo does then how in the hell can you not be in shape?
Karo had a title shot but got injured before the fight. Had he beaten Alves he would probably have gotten a shot at gsp or fitch. His judo is great, his stand up is pretty good and his ground game is alright. A well rounded fighter that happens to look like some guy you would see playing catcher in a mens softball game. I want to see him cut to 155 and fight Nate Diaz.

i don’t get y u guys talk so much shit on him and say he sucks but wen thiago beats him thiago becomes the greatests and u love his sac, karo musy b good if he made thiago great huh..

Karo and BJ both have great natural talent and natural ability which is why BOTH of them for SO LONG PRIDED yes PRIDED themselves on seeing how LITTLE they could train and still win.
BJ has stepped up and is now training like the champ he is. Maybe, it appears Karo is doing the same thing!
im definately not a Karo fan but i think if a “BJ Turnaround” he could POTENTIALLY be a threat to the 170 division TOP 3 (with exception in myopinion to GSP)
Should be a good fight. i expect Karo to be pissed off and Hungry and take the win but it will NOT be easy!!

ALSO
Shek VS Griffen should be interesting!
AND i would like to see Clay Guida fight Nate Diaz!
IM GONNA THROW IN MY FAVORITE FIGHTER IN EACH DIVISION JUST TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK:
155- ALWAYS HAS BEEN bj AND sherk TAKING SECOND
170- ALWAYS BEEN A 50-50 SPLIT BETWEEN GSP AND MATT HUGHES
185- RICH FRANKLIN
205- TITO “THE HYPE MACHINE” ORTIZ AND WANDY
HEAVY- GROWING UP A WWE FAN I HAVE TO SAY lensar AND andrei arlovski

Qmonster you’re a FUCKEN IDIOT LOL!!! Karo looks great and this is not a body building contest idiots… Stop the stupid hating karo is one of the most exciting fighters look at his record 26-4 with 9 submissions ONLY 26 Grow up people and make some REAL SENSE before talking!!
        
Karo and Diego = fight of the year
Karo and Fickt = fight of the night
karo and burkman = lot of people including myself would say fight of the night!!
Also other tough competitions etc etc……….

Karo’s been fighting since he was 14 and fitch is a boringggggggggg ass fighter kas has had tougher competition than fitch and more exciting fights! He may not be a finisher since his whole strength is mostly judo but hey one of the most EXCITITNG fighters without a doubt! FACTS SPEAK LOUDER!!!! WAR karo hope you WHOOP yoshidas ASS and shut all these stupid non-fighting morons up!!!!!

“keving doesn’t know shit”…. LMAO atleast you got that RIGHT…hatter stick with othr sports since you have no clue about MMA.

All I have to say is FUCK THE HATTERS they’re NOBODY!!! Go karo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that karo that I know is a beast

“Great lipo job! Dude looks like he had some work done because I am sure that wasn’t done with hard work on Karo’s part. Overrated – non-finisher!! Send him in with Finch and watch him crumble with a real fighter.”

Whatever dude I’ve seen karo train and his done mostly by himself and help from Greg Jackson! Get your head out of your ass karo is 10 times better fighter and known fighter than fitch ..Karo is 26 with 26-4 a MMA record and has one of the most exciting fights since he adopted his judo in MMA! Just cause his fights got to decision manly does not mean there not exciting! Who gives a fuck I rather watch 3 round non-stop action that watch 1 round lucky ko lol.. Fitch is a boring ass wrestler who got DOMINATED by gsp when karo almost submitted gsp ..You should do more researching before talking that goes for the other idiots too who actually agree with you lol. How sad when morons like you don’t have any clue about MMA or the fightera…

I agree with F-Pride, Karo and Diego better performance done by karo than watching Diego and Fitch boring ass fight with a split decision that I would have to say Diego not fitch! But karo made the fight of the YEAR and beat his ass the first 2 rounds CLEARLY even a blind man could have seen that. I rest my case.

“Could you imagine if any other fighter showed in the shape that Karo is in these pictures ,, they would be torn a new a@#hole…he looks like crap compared to the other top tier fighters … I guess i shouldnt compare him to top tier fighters until he actually beats one!”

Enough with your nonsense talking bitch! What an uneducated fool how old are you? Who the fuck are you? Let me guess a white trash who has never EVER stepped into an octagon so keep barking like a stupid dog. Karo has had tougher competition since he stepped foot in the ufc. So with that said go fuck yourself this ain’t a body building contest dumbass. If it was easy educated retards like you this world would be in such a better place haha.

karo parisyan might not be a finisher but he sure is a great show stealer he make decisions fights mostly exciting fights not like sherk lay and pray all of his fights or machida running around the octagon lol. Also randy couture his a smart fighter and not mostly a finisher. Big fan of karo and Randy his still and always will be one of my favorite UFC fighters. Cause his exciting and It doesn’t matter if your body doesn’t look like a body builder I mean some guys are not cut for having a body like that. As long as your conditioning and your strength is there than you are fine… Put the heat on him karo
