Parisyan commented on the match-up:
“I’m so pumped to be back with Bellator, they have treated me great here and I’m proud to be back in the cage. This is going to be a fun one. I’ve known Phil for a long time, we have a strong friendship, but this is business, and an absolutely huge fight for both of us. Everyone knows the only chance Phil has is to try and knock me out, but I know I bring more to the table. It’s going to be your standard standup guy vs. a judo guy, but you never know what can happen. I’m not under estimating Phil, and we both know how important of a fight is for both of us. Our futures are on the line here, and I’m taking this incredibly seriously.”
The card also features the Bellator Season 10 Middleweight Tournament Final as Brett Cooper faces Brandon Halsey. The Welterweight Final is also going down with Russian striker Andrey Koreshkov battling rising star Adam McDonough.
