It’s being reported that UFC veteran Karo Parisyan will be making
his Octagon return this November after serving a nine-month drug
suspension. Apparantly, the Armenian will be taking on Dustin Hazelett
at UFC 106 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
MMAWeekly.com reported that both welterweights had verbally agreed
to the scrap, and fight contracts should be signed shortly.
Following his UFC 94 "win" over Dong Hyun Kim, the Nevada State
Commission suspended Parisyan for nine months, fined him a total of
$32,000, and overturned his split decision W to a No Decision after
it was revealed that he had three banned pain killers in his system.
Speaking of sitting the sidelines, come game time it will have been
a year since Hazelett last saw action. He has been riding the pine
since tearing the ACL in his right knee prior to his proposed UFC 96
contest against Ben Saunders.
UFC 106 will be held inside the Mandalay Bay Event Center on November
21st. Here are the fighters rumored to be competing in the pay-per-view
broadcast:
Ricardo Almeida vs. Jon Fitch Dustin Hazelett vs. Karo Parisyan Tito
Ortiz vs. Mark Coleman Shane Carwin vs. Brock Lesnar (UFC Heavyweight
Champion)
