With his nine-month suspension for painkiller use winding down, Karo Parisyan is ready to get his career back on track. The welterweight veteran will be returning to the Octagon at UFC 106 (November 21st, Las Vegas) against 23-year-old submission artist Dustin "McLovin" Hazelett. Parisyan's last appearance was in January at UFC 94, where he scratched out a split-decision win against Dong Hyun Kim; the result was changed to a no contest following Parisyan's positive test for Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, and Oxymorphone. Before that, the Heat suffered a TKO loss against Thiago Alves in April 2008, meaning that he hasn't scored a legitimate win since his unanimous decision over Ryo Chonan at UFC 78. Hazelett is coming off back-to-back victories (and back-to-back Submission of the Night bonuses) thanks to his acrobatic armbars against Josh Burkman and Tamdan McCrory, but he hasn't competed since last November due to injury. So whose grappling will be stronger? And whose ring rust will be rustier?
Eli McLovin vs The Heat @106, varsin mielenkiintoinen ja kutkuttava match-uppi. Molemmilla taukoa ja loistavat grapplingskillit molemmilla. Toivon Hazelettia subilla mutta järki saroo että Karo vie UD:n.
