Animosity between Karo Parisyan and Manny Gamburyan?
Posted by Adam MorganKaro Parisyan doesn’t come right out and say it in this new interview with MMA News, but he certainly hints at it:
MMANews.com: You have not mentioned working with Manny [Gamburyan]. Did you train with Manny?
Karo Parisyan: No, I did not train with him at all for this fight.
MMANews.com: No, is there a reason? Is there a problem between you guys?
Karo Parisyan: Uh, I have no comment on that right now.
Hmmm. That’s not suspect at all. I wonder if there is legitimate beef between the two or if Karo is on another one of his “Do you know who I am?” trips. Should be interesting to see how this all pans out.

thats weird. I thought those 2 were cousins. You’d think that they’d be on the same team.
I’m not surprised Manny and Karo are not training together, Karo’s ego is big enough for several grown men.
We could be completely in the wrong direction on this… Possibly a re-injury on Manny’s shoulder…? Maybe he’s having the surgery done?
JacR is right… this could go in a lot of directions. But with Karo’s supersized ego, animosity is the first thing that jumps to everyone’s mind.
However the interviewer specifically asked, “Is there a problem between you guys?” to which Karo could have answered “nah, we’re cool” or something similar to deflect the intention of the question. He decided to “no comment” a question about bad blood with his own cousin. So it’s not off-base to assume there could be an issue between Manny and Karo.
You guys should do your research before starting false rumors. Karo has a problem with Manny’s head trainer. Its been that way for a while, and its the same reason why Karo hasn’t cornered Manny in the UFC.
I couldnt stand being around Manny G either. On TUF he was maybe the most annoying not to mention “corny” , with his comments. Although I do like to watch him fight and root for him against most of his opponents I could see and little seperation between the two.
Remember this is a fans opinion and it doesnt hold any water. Just stating what I feel.
i’m the opposite of Ryder..
i didn’t mind Manny in the house…
but i can’t stand watching him fight.. plus.. he’s super-cocky as well..
he’s calling out Diaz and dissing him and stuff.. dude.. the guy beat you.. it may have been an injury.. but HE’s the one that did it.. don’t send personal attacks at him..
i don’t like Manny..
so, i wouldn’t blame Karo if he didn’t want to train with him.. although.. i’m sure there’s plenty of people who don’t like the person they train with.. it’s not what makes you comfortable.. but, what makes you a better fighter..
either way.. if these two have problems.. they ought to settle it in the octagon..
LOL.
I thought Karo moving away from Gokor’s team caused problems between him and Manny.
Manny has that ‘hot’ temper as well, but he doesn’t have that supersize Karo ego…. I’m sure Karo is difficult to be around for a period of time
Two high-strung Armenian meatheads bickering?
Stranger things have happened.
perfectly put grape…
I know Karo and Manny and i will tell you one thing one of them is down the earth cool cat the other is in lala land and i will let you all to figure out whos who.
in response to C.K. I go for karo man I know him in person and I love the guy his pretty cool some of you idiots love juding the book by its cover from “reality shows” lol karo is an awesome guy and manny is a follower and karo got him on the show if it wasn’t for karo parisyan, manny gamburyan wouldn’t even be fighting right now…..Karo you’re the shit staright forward and not FAKE….
Karo’s the man, always has been, always will be! Armenia Rocks!
I know both Karo and Manny personally, both are great guys and like all of us “fighters” they are competitive, confident (some of us maybe to much) and aggressive.
Here’s what it is, Karo feels that Manny hasn’t shown/voiced his appreciation to Karo for helping Manny get where he is at today. On the other hand, Manny feels like he deserves his recent success and although he appreciates what Karo has done, he feels it would have happened and did happen on it’s own.
To make things worse, Manny has been on a winning streak, all be it he isn’t exactly stepping up his competition, like Nate has, but we all know of Karo’s recent loss. Not exactly making matters easier between the competitive duo.
Bottomline: When it comes to middle easterns and family, it’s a touchy thing. Why do you think there have been wars consistantly between neighboring factions for centuries???
BECAUSE OF STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS!!!!
These guys need to get over it, and I really feel it’s more Karo then Manny. Manny loves Karo and Karo loves Manny…get over and work together to improve your game, remember juniors???
Grow-up Fags…
For your info, SS, Armenians are not “Middle Easterns.” They are from the Near East. Big difference–language, religion, etc.. If you are going to give everyone a history/sociology lesson, please get your geography straight.
I love karo especially that JUDO that he represents in MMA freaken awesome! I never even knew judo existed or will ever work in MMA until I saw 21 year old karo parisyan adopting in MMA in his first UFC debut now I know that it works successfully freaken hard with no gi but I have to say…THANK YOU KAROOOO…AMAZINGGG!!!!!
