Martial arts background[]

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 six more times in the organization with UFC 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 Submission of the Night honors. His impressive submission victory over Josh Burkman earned Hazelett “Submission of the Year” honors from ESPN partner Sherdog.com. [2] His next fight was expected to be against Ben Saunders at UFC 96, but had to withdraw due to injury.[3] He was expected to make his return to the octagon against Karo Parisyan on November 21, 2009 at UFC 106.[4] 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.[5] However, Hazelett lost the fight via first round knockout.
