Karo Parysian Done With UFC?

Karo Parysian, who had just come off a 9-month drug suspension, will apparently be cut from the UFC roster. Parysian was expected to fight Dustin Hazelett at UFC 106, but pulled out the day before weigh-ins. From UFC President Dana White's twitter account:

Karo Parisyan has fucked over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting saturday or ever again in the UFC!!

Pulled out of the fight the day before weigh ins again with a laundry list of excuses!!! Let the press ask karo why! Let him explain.

Parysian has a history of problems in UFC, previously pulling out of a match scheduled for UFC 88 at the last minute, claiming a back injury. His last match, at UFC 94, was declared a "no contest" after he tested positive for banned painkillers, leading to his suspension. Hazelett will be paid a full purse for the canceled fight. Parysian's run ends with a 8-3 UFC record, with the one no contest.
