“I’ve tried to help [“The Heat” Karo Parisyan (18-5)] several times,” UFC President Dana White told MMA Junkie Radio last weekend.
The statement is an indirect response to Fighters.com’s criticism of White’s response to Parisyan’s unexplained withdrawal from UFC 106 in Las Vegas November 21.
Fighters.com speculated Parisyan’s withdrawal was due to a rumored anxiety disorder and compared White’s response of cutting Parisyan from the UFC to White’s response to Fighters.com’s second-ranked heavyweight and UFC champion Brock Lesnar’s (4-1) serious intestinal disorder which White promised to do everything possible to help.
Fighters.com hasn’t confirmed White’s latest contention that he tried to help Parisyan.
On MMA Junkie Radio, White added, “When I say ‘tried to help him,’ I went above and beyond the call of duty on that one, man. I won’t go public with [the details], but I’ve done a lot for that kid, and that kid stuck it to me. He stuck it to me hard.”

Get it through your head Dana, nobody likes you. Your loud, obnoxious and insulting behavior has helped bring MMA into a more favorable light in America, however, as a whole, you’re bringing the sport down to the level of WWE. If Mr. Parisyan actually did ’stick it to Dana hard’. Then good for him.
I could not disagree more. Karo did not just stick it to Dana when he backed out of his fight, yet again but he stuck it to all of us fans and to Dustin as well.
I give Dana Props, Its looks like he does all he can for the fighters, I wish I was a fighter for the UFC, it seems that they’re a great Promotion to fight for!
