Background

Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Hazelett made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2004 and compiled a record of 10-2 before being signed by the UFC.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Hazelett made his UFC debut on October 10, 2006, in a submission loss to Tony DeSouza. Hazelett 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 Hazelett 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.[3] His next fight was expected to be against Ben Saunders at UFC 96, but had to withdraw due to injury.[4] He was expected to make his return against Karo Parisyan on November 21, 2009 at UFC 106.[5] However, the fight was cancelled after Karo Parisyan bowed out of the match the day before weigh-ins. Dana White stated on his Twitter page that Hazelett 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.[6] 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 was due to get married in September.[7] Hazelett faced Rick Story on August 7, 2010 at UFC 117.[8] Hazelett lost to Story by TKO (punches) at 1:15 of the second round.
Hazelett was unsuccessful in his bid when he dropped to Lightweight when he faced Mark Bocek on December 11, 2010 at UFC 124, losing via triangle choke in the 1st round.[9] On December 20 Hazelett was released by the UFC following a three-fight losing streak.[10]
Hazelett has temporarily put a hold to his MMA career to go back to school.[11]
Personal life
Hazelett and his wife had their first child in 2011.[12]
