Re: UFC Armo Style

This seems like a good little event to watch and support the Armenian fighters.

However, I must add that I have not been pleased with Karo's performances as of late, and especially his attitude. There is a general dislike of the guy among casual fans mainly rooted in his personality.

I also wish he took his training more seriously.

Re: UFC Armo Style

Garo's style and personality appear to be topics of much controversy.

I think Garo's strength - i.e. that he is a glutton for giving and taking punishment - is also his weakness.

If he does not learn how to force opponents into submission, then even if he cannot be submitted he subjects himself to suffering much damage over the long run. The object is to stay in the fight game as long as possible. Good submission fighters are capable of doing this because they are able to minimize the damage they receive, if any.

If Tank Abbott were 155lbs and on top of his game, his name would be Garo Parisyan. They both derive pleasure from dishing out pain.

There is no doubt that Garo is one bad motherf'er, is not afraid of anyone put in front of him and will not back down even if he is bleeding profusely on himself, his opponent and the octagon.

Mitichian gets some props from his opponent in Canadian press.

"'I only saw a glimpse of what he can do," he added, referring to Mitichyan's fighting skills. "From what I know, he's more of a grappler. The camp he trains with, they're judo specialists, good Sambo and grappling skills. I only trained with him the day he left the show.'

Mitichyan hails from Armenia but moved to the U.S. in 1997 where he has pursued acting and fighting. His acting/stunt credits include the TV series "Numbers." According to his website and entry on www.imdb.com, Mitichyan can tango, speak Spanish, Russian, Italian, and Armenian, and can do Russian and Armenian accents.

He can fight a bit too, submitting Dorian Price in just 23 seconds in December."

Re: UFC Armo Style

Florian and Manny impressive, Roman and Karo, not so much.

Manny appears to have a solid submission game. Nice Guillotine to close it.

I thought the Nate Diaz fight was the most exciting. His opponent busted his face open in the first round and Nate looked down. Wow. Incredible composure when he was obviously hurting.

How was the crowd at Anoush, anyone??? Who were the celebrities???

Re: UFC Armo Style

I was pissed how Karo lost to Alveres, I hope they meet again in the future cause Karo really didn't get a chance to show his skills in that fight.

Anyways, the upcoming serra v. gsp fight should be good.
