Dustin Hazelett is on our list to see in the UFC. “Many thanks to his knockout skill” you check with? Nope – he is definitely variety of lanky. “Thanks to his history?” Damaging – Dustin’s 12-6 (5-4 UFC record). “On account of his excellent recent beard?” Probably. Other than the beard… I like Dustin Hazelett for the reason that of his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Here’s a recap of Dustin as a fighter, and why I’m searching ahead to witness his BJJ exhibit for the duration of UFC 124.
So who is this Dustin Hazelett male?
First of all, and probably most considerably, there is Dustin’s aforesaid beard. It is reminiscent of a frenchman, and I am positive it grants him some kind of an edge in the struggle. It’s possible not.
A BJJ Black Belt, Dustin Hazelett is in the UFC’s Welterweight division. His UFC history is an common 5-4. To be fair, it should be observed that he’s fought with some serious accidents and 1 of individuals loses arrived by way of Josh Koscheck, who takes place to be headlining the same UFC 124 card. Hazelett completed 4 of these 5 victories by submission. 9 of his over-all 12 MMA wins are by submission, so there is certainly no guessing when it will come to Dustin’s fight approach. He is a submission technician, and the complete entire world realizes it – particularly Dustin himself – which places him even greater on the list of my beloved fighters.
The check of a grappler is to encounter a experienced wrestler, or a dude with terrific stand-up, who is especially defending against takedowns. (Brace you for a clique) “The finest offense is a great protection”. And fairly a several sneaky fighters have gotten as a result of 3 rounds towards a grappler – prancing on their own to a win you may well say.
Hazelett, who has the title of “Sherdog’s Submission of the Year” with an awesome armbar in opposition to Josh Burkman, has missing his preceding 2 fights. Ideally he is that a lot wiser heading in the cage with his UFC 124 canadian opponent, Mark Bocek. Bocek can stand effectively and can grapple superior. I question he’ll be leaning on his floor sport, even so.
Past the octagon, Dustin Hazelett is a respectable dude. He’s a great consultant of BJJ in MMA. Dustin embodies Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and he’s featuring it in the Best Preventing Championship’s octagon where the ideal fighters in the globe satisfy up.
Due to the fact of Hazelett’s initial course mindset, his uncooked BJJ talent, and his all close to illustration of BJJ in MMA, we want him a successful bout on December 11 by way of whichever submission he picks.
