Karo Parisyan: Armenian Gangsta?

If you live in L.A., chances are you've run into some Armenian Gangstas. What do they look like? Basically just like Karo's family that was sitting cageside during one of his recent fights in the UFC. In last night's episode of TUF, Karo got into a bit of a chest-puffing match with Nate "I ain't no punk bitch part II" Diaz. Due to SpikeTV's editing, however, it was difficult to discern who was at fault. Was Karo playing the superstar role by being condescending to the TUF noobies? Or was it just a matter of the old Diaz Baghdad Stockton mentality rearing its ugly head?

Based on J-lau's summary of week 11, it looks like it is probably the former. According to Joe:

After one of my fights, Karo gave me a hard time, too. He came over and yelled cross the mat something to the extent of, “Hey, nice fight,” and I just said, “Thanks.” He starts saying, “Oh, is that all you have to say to me? ‘Thanks?’ Speak up and say a little more next time.” Wfhat more do you say, though, without coming off as cocky, when someone congratulates you? “Oh yeah, I’m the man. I just won my fight with ease and killed that guy. I rule!” That’s not my style. The incident with me happened before the problems he had with Nate, so I could see where Diaz was coming from. I don’t think Karo had any problems with me, it’s just his attitude and how he comes off can rub people the wrong way.

If someone is giving shit to Joe "under the radar" Lauzon, you got to figure that someone probably has some issues.
