Dustin Hazelett vs Karo Parisyan in the works for UFC 106 on Nov. 21

The rise of Brazilian jiu-jitsu welterweight specialist Dustin Hazelett to the top of the 170-pound contender ladder could finally resume when he takes on Octagon veteran Karo Parisyan at UFC 106 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 21, according to MMAWeekly.com.

"McLovin" has been out of action since late 2008 because of a serious knee injury that he sustained earlier this year training for a fight against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 alum, Ben Saunders, at UFC 96 back in March. As a result, Hazelett was forced out of the 170-pound contest and went under the knife to repair his damaged joint.

The operation was apparently a success and now the surging 23-year-old -- who has two straight (and super slick) armbar submission victories over Tamdan McCrory and Josh Burkman, respectively, to his credit -- is ready to feel "The Heat."

Star-divide

Parisyan will return from a nine-month suspension dished out by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) after testing positive for several major painkillers following his controversial split decision win over Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2" on Jan. 31, 2009.

Under the terms of the ruling, "The Heat" was fined 40 percent of his purse ($32,000) and his win over the Korean was ruled a "No Contest."

Prior to the positive test, he Armenian-born Judo player 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 Sept. 2008.

By the time fight night rolls around, it will be more than two years since the former number one division contender tasted victory inside the Octagon -- a unanimous decision over Ryo Chonan at UFC 78: "Validation" in Nov. 2007.

UFC 106 is expected to feature a titanic main event between undisputed heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar putting his title on the line against the equally enormous Shane Carwin. In addition, MMA elder statesman Mark "The Hammer" Coleman will welcome the surgically repaired "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz back to the organization in a 205-pound clash.

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more information on the developing UFC 106 fight card as it becomes available.

mcLovin is a legit ju jitsu wizard, not like the over rated Mir who got his black belt by submitting Sylvia who I honestly have a shot at submitting. Mir never competed in adcc…DO ANY OF YOU REALIZE THAT HE GOT STRAIGHT OWNED IN GRAPPLING MATCHES AGAINST bIG cOUNTRY, AND A LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT babalu…Keep listening to Rogan and the UFC’S BIAsed commentaries, instread of using youR OWN EYES TO FORM YOUR OWN OPPINIONS!

LOL, I’d watch Tito over any of those other losers in MMA that are completely nobodies and nobody cares about if they win or lose… To just like somebody if they’re good is wrong!… I couldn’t do that, it would make me like some of the athletes/persons that i hate the most…

Awesome fight, hopefully this will be the last time Karo fights in the UFC, that fat lazy arrogant druggie is a disgrace and I’m hoping that McLovin can use his outstanding BJJ to submit him. Hazelett has a bright future and Karo will be his stepping stone to the big-time, hopefully he’ll be in good shape after the long lay-off and Karo will neglect training once again. I like everything about McLovin and despise everything about Karo so I’m not going to be impartial on this one, R2 armbar by McLovin.

Yeah huge fan mate, can’t wait for the Challenge Cup final on Saturday, it’s been a long time coming, first semi-final win in 4 attempts since I’ve been watching them. It would be great to shut up Saints, Wigan and Widnes fans who dismiss us as being RL’s greatest underacheivers by winning our first major trophy in 35 years.

I watch alot of MMA, K-1, Boxing and ofc i enjoy good fights and fighters that put on good fights, but i don’t have to be a fan of them for that like John is..

Tito
Rampage
Anderson Silva
Diego Sanchez
Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile are some of my faves..

Jay, do you think i like Tito because he’s a big name? haha, I like him because he’s a great character and I like who he is, his fights are always entertaining.. Alot of ppl obviously feel the same way as i do, and that is why he’s a big name..

K-Dog the RFL are gutted that it’s a non-big 4 final, they were worried that Wire-Giants wouldn’t sell out Wembley because supposedly neutral fans wouldn’t want to see 2 unfancied temas, but we’ve easily sold our allocation and Huddersfield have sold a lot of tickets as well, plus most neutrals outside of the big 4 (and even a few Saints, Leeds and Bradford fans) are happy that we both made it to a final so it should be a sell-pout with a cracking atmosphere. Shame that Sky don’t have the CC games as it would be great listening to Eddie big us up and Stevo and Clarkey eat their words for doubting us, but at least the legendary Jonathan Davies will be commentating (met him in town on the night we won the semi, he’s a top man and was talking and taking photos with me and a mate all night) and a bigger audience can see us (hopefully) win the big one.

British education is going down the pan OJR, for every dave who posts on here there’s two british ret@rds too.

I left school 15 years ago with two B’s in combined science. My cousin who left school last year got the same. She showed me this pack of sweets the other day and said “these sweets aren’t bad for you, they’ve got no fat in them”. To which I replied “there’s no fat, but they’re 98% sugar!” She looked at the pack again, then replied “no there’s no sugar in them, just carbohydrate” Honestly! Talk about dumbing down education.

Funny story K-Dog, you’re right our education system is far from perfect, I was just lucky enough to have some excellent teachers and supportive parents who always made sure that I worked hard instead of p!ssing about in school. They made sure that I left school with excellent grades so I’ve been able to go to a good university (Newcastle) and hopefully will get a good job when I leave.

RoB I’ve noticed that to, it doesn’t help matters when the American media focuses almost solely on national issues, even their supposed World News on ABC was just about the US and how world issues affected Americans. No wonder that there are some Americans who know very little about other cultures when they are pretty much ignored by their media.

by Alpha Male on Aug 24, 2009 11:10 PM EDT reply actions  

I was actually impressed Karo “won” his last fight, given how truly awful he looked physically and with the obvious issues he has. Truthfully, he should not have been allowed to compete being in that condition. As I remember, the UFC wasn’t sure he could go, even the night of the event. If Hazelett is 100%, he should win this fight on pure athleticism. Karo gives up too much in physical skills, leg strength and fitness to deal with Hazelett, if he’s fully recovered.

by OJR on Aug 25, 2009 8:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

Good stuff here. Both guys been out of it for a while, so their ring rust should cancel out.

The only way Karo wins is if he holds Haze against the fence and Haze tries to not get taken down. If Karo stays standing, he loses. If Karo goes all the way to the ground, he loses. He wins by Cage-Humping decision.

McLovin ftw. Submission.

by Synyster on Aug 25, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t know Syn, I see Caro being able to win on his feet and on the ground, he got decent stand up, a good GnP and a nasty Kimura really hard to defend when he got it lock on. I see it more like… it’s his fight to lose IMO. I don’t see him getting tapped.
But Dustin is a great fighter too, so I wish him to do good also.
Before I get flame for… I know his name take a K, but I spell it with a C b/c it’s a chicks name.

by Alpha Male on Aug 25, 2009 10:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

I wondered why you kept spelling it “Caro”. lol.

Caro win the stand up?? Cmon man. Haze’s stand up is very underrated. Flashes of brilliance shown in the Kos, Burkeman, and McCrory fights. Caro has never been known for more than decent enough to survive until he gets a clinch. Plus, Haze should have a good reach on him.

Caro’s GNP is his 2nd best game outside of takedowns. But with Haze’s hyperactive guard and freak flexibility, added in with his seamless and fluid tranistions from position to submission, I see the ground being the worse of 2 worlds for Caro.

I still stand by Caro only winning by clinch hugging with Haze trying to not be taken down due to a gameplan of going for a KO. If Haze is in his right state of mind, and knowing that Caro has an advantage in the clinch, he would do well to pull guard, and not wait for a big double leg slam or a judo trip/throw that (imo) would be more impressive in the judges eyes.

by Synyster on Aug 25, 2009 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

With Karo apparently a drug addict on top of his already shit conditioning and small stature at 170, I simply can’t put a dime on him against a good fighter like Hazelett. I don’t see either of these guys winning by submission or KO. This sucker has decision written all over it.

by Jeremyjackson on Aug 25, 2009 4:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, great match-up. Good test for both fighters.

I think this is the fourth main card fight announced for this event, Alph.

Lesnar/Carwin
Ortiz/Coleman
Fitch/Almeida (yawn)
Parisyan/Hazelett

by Jeremyjackson on Aug 24, 2009 11:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol, yeah let’s hope that Fitch put on some striking display in that fight instead of dry humping Ricardo. He’s gonna have problem to do it on Almeida though. I see him catching fitch in a guillotine for the upset.

I hope that Caro will still be working with Jackson for this fight.

by Alpha Male on Aug 25, 2009 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions  

yeah if he only had striking i’d almost give Almeida the striking advantage.. hope Almeida takes his arms and legs so i don’t have to see him again

by RoBerto on Aug 25, 2009 1:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think you guys are forgetting how impossible it is to choke out Fitch. Carniero, Sanchez and Hironaka all had him in a triangle and he got out. And he won’t be as easy to take down as Kendall Grove. I say Almeida gasses early because he isnt used to the weight cut and gets TKOd in the third.

by Mahde on Aug 25, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yawn is right @ Fitch-Almeida. I know Fitch has never been in an exciting fight, and I can’t really recall any of Almeida’s fights off the top of my head, so they couldn’t have been great either.

B/c Nate did punch Ricardo in the face after he finally let go the guillotine.

by Alpha Male on Aug 25, 2009 11:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

Alpha, a prime Almeida would submit anyone who he got on the ground but now he’s a shell of his former self, since his return he has only been able to submit a well past his best Salaverry and hasn’t looked great against Cote, Horwich or Grove. Ricardo also has cardio issues and is making the 170 cut for the first time, whilst Fitch has made a career of grinding out decision wins, using his wrestling to control his opponent and defending submissions and being able to avoid gassing, so this fight is ready made for a Fitch UD. Shame because a prime Almeida would submit him and actually make a Fitch fight interesting.

by David W-S on Aug 25, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sorry Almeida beat Rob Yundt (a can), Salaverry was beaten by Palhares. Still it shows that Almeida hasn’t been able to submit top competition since his return and I don’t see him being able to submit Fitch.

He has been KO’d, Alves finished him. And Karo can’t finish a fight to save his life, he’s just a more arrogant Fitch only without the impressive won/loss record. Karo can’t beat other top 10 WWs, nevermind beat GSP and become WW champion.

Calm down WideScreen, to say that “Karo can’t finish a fight to save his life” is reaching far. He’s a top WW who had personal problems, don’t count him out yet. He can come back strong if he stay in shape and keep working with Jackson. He done very well under the circumstance last time and I expecting him to be hungry for a win b/c of the suspension. He still able to beat anyone in the WW division except GSP.

Please dont ever in your life mention the Alves knock out as Karo having a weak chin. That was early stoppage at its finest and he was no where near knocked out in anybodies eyes. I have seen his tooth come flying out of his mouth and it didnt even slow him down.

David your argument is weak and GSP is superman of course but Karo has a chance to beat him as much as any top contender if he is at the top of his game and actually trains full time

I never said that Karo has a weak chin, but King Sam you said that he can’t be KO’d and he lost that fight by KO. Early stoppage or not, Alves dropped him and in my opinion would have done some serious damage to Karo if the fight wasn’t stopped.

Alpha, W-S are my initials (I only use them because when I started posting there was another David) and I’m never going to give Karo any credit I find the guy boring, lazy and overrated. His fights don’t entertain me and his personality is one of the worst in MMA, plus he’s a proven cheat. He’ll have to improve immensely to ever come close to the WW title because all I’ve seen is the same lazy Karo relying on his judo and using excuses for his defeats instead of looking to improve on his obvious weaknesses.

I am not sure how you didn’t see Karo out. That was not even close to a quick stoppage. Alves is a wrecking machine and would have murdered Karo if the ref hadn’t stepped in.

I’m going to be cheering for Karo Parisyan on this one. Hopefully we’ll see a good Judo throw!

Going to Vegas for UFC 106 weekend. What is the best way to get tickets?

Gotta go with McLovin on this one. Physically, Karo’s got the tools, if he were to get in shape he could be really good. Mentally though, I just don’t think he’s got it. Between panic attacks, avoiding Jon Fitch, whining about his lost title shot, constant excuses for his losses, and now turning to banned painkillers…well I think the competition in the UFC WW division has simply passed him by and he’s likely to keep his job there solely because the UFC probably wants to keep any ‘name’ fighters away from Strikeforce.

Hazelett looks like the son of Rollie Fingers.

Maybe he’s thinking that if he strains really hard muscle will come out of nowhere.
