Bellator Phil Baroni vs. Karo Parisyan TONIGHT! (7/25)

The guy has been fighting for 15 years, he was a young prodigy and he beat a lot of solid dudes during his prime - really he only lost to the very best of his time. But the hamstring injury and subsequent painkiller addiction did him him.

People go nuts for Ronda's judo but they forget that Karo really was the first person to translate a great judo game into MMA. I'll never forget his UFC debut where he threw Dave Strasser around like a rag doll.

Fuckin Baroni....

He was supposed to be the BEST EVA! lol

Lost at his own game of striking. That was sad to see.

15-18 now. Fuck.

Yeah he had a decent initial UFC run and he had a good run in Pride fighting on the Bushido cards, but he was always one dimensional and wasn't the best technical striker. He's been out struck and beat up by a lot of guys.

Least he stomped that lil ankle biter Minowaman...then lost the rematch.

Always liked Baroni as he's one tough, stubborn SOB.
