    Former UFC welterweight contender Karo Parisyan (18-5) will not serve the next chapter of his career in Strikeforce; the two sides were unable to come to terms.

    Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker confirmed the news with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) after a source close to the event said a proposed deal had recently been shelved.

    "We had a cup of coffee," Coker said. "It didn't work out. "He's a great kid. We wish him luck."

    The proposed deal called for Parisyan to fight at "Strikeforce: Los Angeles" on June 16 against an opponent to be determined. Parisyan could not be reached for comment when contacted by MMAjunkie.com.

    Bad news for Karo. If you don't fight in the UFC and you are any good you should be fighting in SF unless he wants to go to Dream or something.

    Bad news for SF too. Karo is a legit contender and would be great if him, Diaz, Daley and others were mixing it up.

    I'm def a fan of Karo. What other legit options are there? They should re-negotiate
