Hazelett OK After Parisyan Withdrawal
He's disappointed, but Dustin Hazelett says he's moving on after Karo Parisyan withdrew Thursday from their scheduled fight at UFC 106.
"Everything happens for a reason, and I trust God's plan," Hazelett told MMA Insider just hours after the news was confirmed.
Hazelett received his show/win money from the UFC and assurances he would be put on the next available card.
He plans to stay in Vegas with his cornermen and several family members who've flown in and watch the fights.
"It's out of my hands, so I've got to make the best of it," he said.Labels: Dustin Hazelett, Karo Parisyan, UFC 106

Hazelett Out of Action with Torn ACL
UFC welterweight Dustin Hazelett was forced to withdraw from his UFC 96 bout with Ben Saunders due to a knee injury, but didn't know how severe it was until after he notified the UFC.
Hazelett found out he had suffered a complete tear of his Anterior Cruciate Ligament, or ACL, for which he underwent surgery eight weeks ago.
Hazelett says he is working hard to bring his knee back, and has even begun to jog a little bit on the treadmill.
"The people doing the rehab on my knee say I'm way ahead of schedule," Hazelett told MMAInsider.
If all goes well with his physical therapy, he should be able to train again in six months. But he's skeptical on his prospects for fighting in 2009.
"I'll be lucky if I can get a fight in by the end of the year," he said.Labels: Dustin Hazelett
