Karn "karen" Grigoryan: new Armenian enters the MMA world

[nimda]

Saw him for the first time on the new episode of the Ultimate Fighter.

The Ultimate Fighter is definitely giving a chance to the Armenians. Manny, then Roman (who broke his elbow in 1st episode), and now Karen.

He did not look very impressive in his fight (he almost lost). Slow punches, no finesse. Hopefully if he doesn't lose very quickly and he'll get a chance to stay on the show, the trainers will improve his BJJ and striking.

I think he has potential.

You also forgot to mention that kenny florian is part Armenian and he was on the first season of tuf.

ah yeah, I didn't know he was part-Armenian. But, indeed I see that info on wikipedia now.

Well hopefully he's a better ambassador for us little people than Karo and Manny have been. I know Gerard Mousasi is a class act fighting out of Holland and hopefully we can get some more suitable talents like him.

Thanks for this. I gotta start TIVOing the episodes now.

yeah, they send Karn home because he had a fractured nose after his fight.

I wonder if the large armenian nose, being a larger target, is a disadvantage! But then again, Vanes has quite an armenian nose, yet doesn't seem to be getting any bloody noses.

Sadly I haven't been able to watch the Ultimate Fighter as much as I wanted to because of my hectic schedule which is a shame because I can't see all this unfold.

That sucks that another Armenian fighter has to go home. One of the days they will be a champ, and I think Mousasi might be the first or closest.
