Karo Parisyan tests positive for painkillers after UFC 94

karo parisyan

Former number one welterweight contender, Karo Parisyan, has tested positive for several painkillers, including Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone, following his controversial split decision win over Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Jan. 31.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today passed along the results to MMAmania.com.

"The Heat" has recently battled a nervous disorder, as well as injuries, which forced him out of a match against Yoshiyuki Yoshida less than 24 hours before showtime back in September 2008.

Parisyan talked openly about his recent challenges during our recent interview with him, conducted on January 26, five days before the fight against Kim.

He said that he was injury-free going into the Kim fight and that the sciatic nerve injury that prevented him from competing in the Yoshida fight was no longer an issue and hadn’t been for quite some time. In his words:

"I’m injury free. But the most important thing with me is mental, bro, just because of the panic attacks. And I’m mentally fine. Mentally, I’m ready to go into battle."

He also confirmed that he had been prescribed medication (Xanax) to deal with the panic attacks, but that he thus far had avoided taking the medication:

"Why (didn’t I) take them? Because I wasn’t having a panic attack, (but) I was so crazy about what was going on with me, what I’m gonna do, etc., etc. I was like, well, I have medication for that, but I’m scared. I don’t want to take that fucking medication right now, just because it might make it worse for some reason. I was just trying to deal with the panic attacks, so I never took medication. And if it happens, God forbid, please God forbid, then I’ll probably pop a Xanax, and it’ll probably put me to sleep or something. I don’t know what it does."

Parisyan also stated that he hadn’t had a panic attack for "about five or six months." To read more from Parisyan’s perspective on his long-running battle with this disorder, including what he thinks triggers an attack, go here.

The finding could be a serious one. Hydrocodone (Vicodin), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) and Oxymorphone (which is about six to eight times stronger than morphine) all come with relatively high levels of dependency for regular users. They are all prescription-strength painkillers.

While there will no doubt be speculation about this recent turn of events, remember that Parisyan is innocent until proven guilty. He could face a fine and possible suspension by the NSAC, which he would be allowed to appeal.

More on this breaking news as it becomes available. All of the other fighters tested from the UFC 94 event passed their respective screenings for illegal/banned substances.

I don’t see how his painkiller use relates to his psychological troubles. He’s had panic attacks for many years but never did he test positive. His body is probly just not right- he might go the way of riggs now.

damn its a shame to see it but he’s been downhill for a while. dong did beat him i felt. it also make thiago alves look less scary beating up karo and a disheartened hughes. but that said he did beat kos.
i wonder if karo will be back ever again or if he will pull a paulo filho type thing. i think the same thing is happening to shogun and dana is feeding him to his bro chuck

I intially saw this guy as an A-hole, but now I see Karo as an A-hole trying to climb out of his A-hole. At least he’s recognizing his problems. The pressure is getting to him.. I think he needs to leave the UFC, get some fights at Strikeforce, rebuild himself and comeback stronger. Karo is still young enough to salvage his career and learn from his mistakes.

THe Heat: HOld up buddy! When Alves KNock Karo the F out, Karo was still on top of his game! Had he accepted a fight against Fitch and won, he would have gotten a title shot! Being Knocked out by aLVES is what started this downward spiral of Karo’s career! Which makes what Alves did that much more impressive! He single handed, destroyed Karo’s WORLD!!!!!! not that I wished any of this crazy stuf onto Karo or any other human being, but its an “E true HOllywood story”!

I had to take hydrocodone for a shoulder separation, and the doctor told me to wait until I got to work to take it because I wouldn’t be able to drive while on it. He was right. I spent most of my mornings sitting in my cube giggling at my computer. I can’t imagine someone being able to fight while on those.

Not trying to make myself look like a druggie but after I got shot in Iraq they gave me hydrocodons for a while and once you’ve taken them for a little they don’t have as much of an effect on you. I could eat 5 or 6 now and still function.. I am sure thats whats up… bro

Physically, I thought Karo looked to be in terrible shape in his last fight. Specifically, he had zero muscle tone and his legs appeared very weak. I was surprised and marginally impressed he didn’t get steamrolled. Aside from whether we are fans of Karo’s or not, the UFC should not allow him to fight till he gets his mental/physical issues addressed and corrected. Unfortunately as we’ve seen too many times this year alone, there are fighters in the sport on a downward spiral headed for tragic endings mentally, physically or both, and it appears the organizations, including the UFC, are too lax and too quick to schedule fights for those dealings with bigger issues. This needs to change.

This guy is like Matt Hughes…he was good when mma was in its infancy and not many fighters were well rounded as today.

But, he just cant HANG in today’s mma with well conditioned althletes. He continues to LIE and make excuses. He just said to this website days ago in an interview how “he was 100% injury free, etc, etc” . He also said he wasnt taking any meds for panic attacks…..Cuz he DONT NEED EM’

He might as well REVEALED to the commission that he smoked crack and shot up some heroin before the fight. He knows as a VETERAN fighter what you can AND CANT take. So more proof of another lie. And why was 3 strong pain meds needed when there was NO INJURIES, etc, etc

Cant wait to hear the excuse for this one. He will go out and say he fought with a broken neck and 4 broken ribs….and that he may of even been legally dead in his fight.

SO, SO, SO sick of this guy

besides karo is pretty honest about eveything no wonder he gets bashed casue he speaks his mind!

I agree with you 100% MMAfan, people are taliking like he took some performance enhancing drug or something. People just hate on Karo and no matter what he does, that will never change. He even apologised for coming off as an @sshole for his “do you know who I am comment” saying that english is not his first language and that sometimes when he speaks, what he means to say doesn’t come out quite right, but nobody took ay notice of that. Rashad has the same sort of haters that will use any excuse to bash him. You would have thought that the world was going to end from the responses afer he grabbed his crotch in the Forrest fight.

by Ade on Feb 11, 2009 4:31 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

You’re right ade that’s why it’s hatters like these uneducated monkeys that will keep these fighters on top no matter what they say! What I love about him is that his pretty straight forward about everything and very outspoken!

And I think it was a close fight but he still beat him regardless of out the outcome was and that judo throw was spectacular!

Also here is the main point, this is one of the thing Commissons need to look at as MMA fighters especially go through crazy training and 90% if the time are never %100 for their fight.

And some people are already saying his addicted. Come one people his a fighter your first f**king hint should be he had an injury during training and needed to recoup or needed something to take the pain away while training. It’s pretty common, and hey at least he did not use steroids like a lot of other fighters do for a quick recovery from injury.

Point is it was a prescribed medication for pain, and the NSAC should recognize that this list is not performance enhancing by any means. Also how did they not know about this prior? They do other blood tests; I find it kind of funny how lately the NSAc is really bashing in its own spotlight.

First the Grease now some pain medication that was prescribed?? Give me a break I feel like I am watching the MMA news in small vile.

If Karo wants to stay in the UFC, he should drop down to 155. He looks like he could lose some weight and he would probably feel more confident there. I don’t think he is even a top ten fighter in welterweight and he never will be.

I think he could actually be a top five fighter in lightweight after a match or two.

Almost comical at this point. I used to be a fan of Karo’s but his recent antics had pretty much fried my patience. So, I bet on Dong expecting a lackluster Karo performance. Sure enough, that’s what happened. So now, aside from the fact that Dong won the fight anyway and I already got screwed out of my bet by the judges, now it comes out that Karo had drugs in his system too. Excellent.

He’s not just Karo’s cousin.

He’s also his bro.

This dude should just teach MMA to fellow Armenians. I understand he’s a young fella but if hes in no shape or condition to fight, then don’t!

Looks like GSP tested negative for Vaseline too.

This is sure going to get him cut from the UFC, I can just see it. Having a backup replacement for him for the last fight, then this…

Yes, he is Manny’s cousin.

Does anyone happen to know how they test the fighters? Either way, it’s pretty stupid when he knows there’s always a good chance of being tested after a fight. I’m just curious if it was a UA, because that’s a lot of taint to have in his system if it was.

good job karo. cant believe a word that comes out of this guy’s mouth.

by rich on Feb 10, 2009 5:11 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Clementi out of the UFC, Guillard and Bro Parisyan in.

Has Dana been tested?

(Now that I think about it, Rogan’s test might a pretty funny rap sheet.)

xanax is some serious stuff, thats what all the college guys in my area are taking and giving to girls at parties, then they both shame there parents, like i said it’s bad stuff close to oxycotten.

Blazy J; he didn’t pop for Xanax. He tested for a BUTTLOAD of painkillers. Not sure if Xsnax is on the banned or even tested for list. Would be currious to know though.

by rich on Feb 10, 2009 9:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

prescription drugs are just as dangerous and may times stonger than the illegal ones, the diaz bro’s are stoners or so every one says, xanax and oxy even perkisate(sp) are way way more powerful than weed, and i live in mendo county where the best stuff grows.

karo beat don kim the last 2 rounds and threw his ass all over the place!

2 his record is the BEST 27-5 who the hell has that in WW??? NO ONE!! facts speak louder dummies :)

by Brandon on Feb 10, 2009 6:48 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Dong won that fight.

He is 19-5.

Fabricated facts speak louder!

by The real Brandon on Feb 10, 2009 11:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

This guy is no longer UFC material. Dana, please cut this bro! He should not have gotten that decision win against Kim. If he does somehow manage to stay in the UFC and have that fight against Kos, I hope he gets ktfo. I remember back in TUF, Nate Diaz had some beef with Karo. I wouldn’t mind seeing Nate choke him out either. UFC should feed Karo some fighters that would whoop his ass so he could get cut.

by anom on Feb 10, 2009 6:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Karo tells it like it is!! He ain’t fake like others lol.. dont like what he has to say…. why READING his interviews RETARDS!!! His the shit like it or not and VERY honest about eveything!!!!!!

Nate can ONLY fuken deam to even get close to karo cause he knows karo will beat the shit out of him left and right hahaha

People its "Prescriptionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" get it??? its not illegal and he should just have told the commission before but it’s all cleared up. The guy had a pain and used it big deal!!

ohh and you dont see karo calling a “time out” middle of a fight when getting his ass kicked like fitch was by joslin.. get you facts straight this shit is old and karo was never offered a fight with fitch..

Stop changeing your name and posting the same crap.

Karo has never EVER stopped anyone from strikes.

WTF? LOL you’re a complete dumbass when did I say anything about karo’s strike And YES he did beat don it was neck and neck but karo showed more in the last two rounds. Since you’re not a judge you wouldn’t comprehend shit

So what happens if you bet against karo? I put that bet down EXACTLY for this reason. I figured he was going to come in fucked in the head and either A) be on benzos to try to mask his anxiety for the fight or B) not train effectively because he is a head case. Both came true and he got the SPLIT? Are you kidding me????

My question is do I get the money back from the casino since the fight is a wash (like it didn’t happen)?
