Biography
Dustin Hazelett was born in Louisa, Kentucky, USA.
Martial arts background
Hazelett, nicknamed 'McLovin' in reference to the movie Superbad, began training in martial arts as a sophomore in high school and began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the age of 16 and has earned a black belt under Jorge Gurgel.
Mixed martial arts career
Hazelett fought in a variety of promotions before making his UFC debut on October 10, 2006, in a submission loss to Tony DeSouza. He has since fought seven more times in the organization with a record of 5-2. Dustin holds notable wins over Josh Burkman via step-over armbar, transitioned from a whizzer takedown at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale and Tamdan McCrory due to a reverse armbar at UFC 91. Each spectacular finish earned Dustin the Submission of the Night award. His impressive submission victory over Josh Burkman earned Hazelett the "Submission of the Year" award from ESPN partner, Sherdog.com. His next fight was expected to be against Ben Saunders at UFC 96, but had to withdraw due to injury. He was expected to make his return to the octagon against Karo Parisyan on November 21, 2009 at UFC 106. However, the fight was cancelled after Karo Parisyan pulled out of the match the day before weigh-ins. Dana White stated on his Twitter page that Dustin would be paid both his fight and win bonuses for the fight.
Hazelett would later agree to face Paul Daley at UFC 108 following Carlos Condit's withdrawal. However, Hazelett lost the fight via first round knockout and was medically suspended shortly after because of an orbital bone injury.
Hazelett was scheduled to make his return against Dan Hardy at UFC 119 after verbal agreements were made. However, Hazelett withdrew from the bout as he is due to get married in September.
