UFC 71 -- Parisyan vs. Burkman

By Joe Fernandez

Welterweight Karo Parisyan defeats Josh Burkman by unanimous decision.

Round 1: Parisyan landed his first great judo throw of the fight and was outstriking Burkman. Burkman's wrestling skills kept him out of bad spots as the crowd seemed very pleased with the first-round action.

Round 2: With the fight standing most of this round, Parisyan landed a majority of the punches.

Round 3: With 3:43 left in the fight, Burkman had a phenomenal double-leg takedown, but Parisyan got back to his feet and took Burkman down with another judo throw. The striking edge once again went to Parisyan in this round.
