    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>But at this point I want to make an example of Yoshida and everyone else who’s going to stand in front of me until I can get my title shot and get my title.

I gotta start training or those guys will start catching up with me.</div>

    That is Karo Parisyan, who lost via TKO to Thiago Alves in his last bout.

    Parisyan has been talking non-stop about how he was robbed and claims what he'll do to Alves in a rematch will be "disturbing". In keeping with Karo's recent fight history, I suppose that means going to a close decision that will leave Alves biting his nails or something.

    Can you spot the guy who is too talented to train in this lineup?

    I literally LOL'd when I read "or those guys will START catching up with me.

    newsflash egomaniac, you've been lapped by the rest of the division.

    It`s somewhat true. He is very talented in submissions and doing his thing against opponents who most of the time have been much better conditioned.

    He has won 18 times (Nick Diaz, Chris Lytle, Matt Serra) and is only 25, His 5 losses have come to 4 opponents, all of them being no slouches. Sherk, Sherk, Diego Sanchez, GSP, Thiago Alves.

    BJ Penn has a similar problem too. He has taken conditioning lightly at times, just because he is quite talented on the ground and submissions.

    If Karo improved his conditioning and he`s only 25, he could be a top 3 contender at welterweight.
