Dustin Hazelett

I was mighty impressed with him in the fight with Koscheck. Showed some slick jiu-jitsu and exciting standup. He gave Koscheck some trouble. Now, tonight, he just finished Burkman with an armbar, who hasn't been finished for awhile in the UFC, and he's fought some good competition lately. I'll be looking forward to this guy's fights from now on. Isn't he like 22?

McLovin's only 22.. And his best is yet to come.

The guy has looked great in his UFC career. He's had a couple of hick-ups along the way, but I think he's grown since losing to DeSouza and despite words of some here, there's no harm in losing to Koscheck. He also just put on a jits display against a tough fighter in Burkman, subbed Jonathan Goulet with little effort and looked great against Lynch and Saraiva.

I'm not saying right now, but this guy's got a real future and could be in the title mix within the next couple of years. He's got that much upside IMO.

I honestly don't know why Burkman was listed as the favorite going into the fight. I was 190% sure that Dustin was going to submit Burkman at some point.

I picked Dustin. I was also impressed with his performance against Koscheck. I've been watching him ever since he beat Rhalan Gracie.

Burkman is probably the most middle of the road fighter you'll find. Someone who's not horrible at anything but not that great at anything else either. He's got solid wrestling and submissions but not good enough to actually beat anyone very good with.
