Parisyan Tests Positive for Painkillers
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
by Sherdog.com Staff

Welterweight contender Karo Parisyan tested positive for three banned painkillers following his main-card bout with South Korean judoka Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 94 “St. Pierre vs. Penn 2” on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas, according to a report released Tuesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Parisyan -- who has a well chronicled history of panic attacks -- was flagged for Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone. A NSAC complaint will be filed against the Armenian-born standout in the coming days and will be followed by a disciplinary hearing, according to NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer. MMAMania.com was first to report the positive test.

The talented 26-year-old Parisyan (19-5) eked out a split decision against the previously undefeated Kim at UFC 94, as he posted his first victory in more than a year. He has lost to only three men -- reigning UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre , top welterweight contender Thiago Alves and “The Ultimate Fighter” season one winner Diego Sanchez -- in the last eight years.

Drug tests on 11 other fighters who competed at UFC 94 -- St. Pierre, B.J. Penn , Lyoto Machida , Thiago Silva , Clay Guida , Nathan Diaz , Stephan Bonnar , Jon Jones , Jake O'Brien , John Howard and Thiago Tavares -- were all negative.
