UFC 106: Main Card Predictions

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:41:50 -0500

Karo Parisyan v. Dustin Hazelett – Bout Cancelled. Hazelett will receive both his show and win money. I’ve waited this long specifically to see if anyone can find out what the hell happened that made Parisyan pull out of the fight. He made a claim that the Nevada State Athletic Commission wanted the money, 32,000 dollars, for his steroid suspension up front, but a ton of sources have interview NSAC member Keith Kizer and he says they worked out a payment plan for Karo, let alone asked for the money up front. The same bit Karo that always does: he’s not of right mind. He simply self-destructs far too often to be employed by anyone, let alone the UFC. Dana White has said that he’ll never work for the UFC again, and now I can imagine that Strikeforce or DREAM will likely try and sign him. Good luck, boys. You’ll need it. Phil Baroni v. Amir Sadallah Here’s the fight that will replace Hazelett and Parisyan on the main card. Baroni is making his return to the UFC after being banished to the wastelands of MMA in 2005. He hasn’t really been all that successful since, going 13-11 in his MMA career and just 8-5 since UFC 55. He’s mainly a kickboxer and used to train with Team Hammerhouse, which means that he has almost no jiu-jitsu whatsoever. There’s an awesome moment where he tries to describe a kimura that he used after finally learning it. If you can find the video, leave it in the comments. because it’s hysterical. Baroni also has a tendency to gas early, so watch for that. I like to call Sodallah the “Forgotten TUF Winner.” After winning TUF 7, defeating a much better fighter in C.B. Dolloway, he missed over a year with injuries before losing to Jonny Hendricks at UFC Continue reading UFC 106: Main Card Predictions

I'm still reeling from Jose Aldo's dominance over Mike Brown Wednesday night at WEC 44. In talking with co-workers today about the fight, they were amazed with how Brown got run over and the immediate follow up was, "I can't wait to see Aldo fight Faber." If WEC ever pulls the trigger with a PPV, that's your headlining fight. By the way, Faber's next fight is scheduled for January 10th against

Dustin Hazelett won’t feel Karo Parisyan’s 'heat' when working off his back at UFC 106

"I’m doing what I can to prepare for him, but it’s hard to prepare for somebody like Karo because there are very few people in the world that are as good at Judo without the gi on as he is. So it’s really hard to find somebody to prepare for that, but, you know, I’m going into this fight kind of with the same mentality that I went into the Koscheck and Burkman fight with. And that is, I’m probably not going to stop every single takedown attempt, but ...
