Karo Parisyan is a JOKE and clearly,clearly wants NO part of Jon Fitch
He has admitted he turned down a fight with Fitch a while go,then he says what does Fitch bring to the table,then he said he wants an easier fight than Fitch(check out the MMA show with Bas and Kenny,he said it on there). Bastard needs to fight a top contender to get a shot,and hey,I do not like Fitch but he's a good fighter and I see no reason for them not to fight. Fitch is game.

Here's an interview with Ficth who is pretty cool and tells it like he sees it,which I like.
"Karo indicated that he was promised a title shot and in order to retain it, he can’t lose if he fights before it. He said on HDNet’s “Inside MMA” that he believes he can beat you and that he’s not afraid to fight you, but he wanted a “more guaranteed” win. What are your thoughts on that?" That's what I was alluding to in my previous post.

There are some fighters that are pretty vocal about their unhappiness with the UFC’s current pay structure, namely Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz. Where do you weigh-in in regards to fighter pay and are you happy with where you are at? Jon Fitch: Yeah, they’re paying me pretty well. I can’t complain. The only thing I have a problem with is with some guys who come in for their first fight — you know, the Brock Lesnar thing, the biggest thing I have a problem with is that the guy has never fought in the UFC and he hasn’t put in the time (and) he hasn’t paid his dues and he makes more money than any other guy has in the UFC before. I think all the fighters get hurt by that. They all look at it like, “What am I fighting for? Why am I working so hard if some guy that’s just going to sell tickets can come in and make way more money than me.” At the end of the day it makes you think maybe I should just stop training so hard and do a bunch of steroids and just be a freak show, you know?
That’s not what I want out of the sport. I want an honorable sport and to find out who the toughest guys are in each weight class. I don’t want freak shows. I don’t really care about selling a lot of pay-per-views and all that stuff. I guess it comes from the wrestling background and wrestling in front of nobody, basically my whole career. In wrestling I did it for the passion of the competition not to be famous (and) not to have people screaming my name in the crowd. That stuff is nice but at the end of the day that stuff is not what’s important to true fighters.
Nice stuff there. I like his personality,talks frankly and openly rather than to sell his tickets etc.

"He’s(Brock) a tremendous athlete and I didn’t mean to implicate anything with the steroid comment, that was directed towards the WWF. What if “Stone Cold” Steve Austin decides, “Hey, I want to come and do MMA.” I mean, is he just going to walk in and fight at heavyweight even though he’s never fought MMA just because he might sell a buttload of pay-per-views?"
