UFC 91: Hazelett's moon rising
OK, not sure I'd ever expect to even think about possibily hearing Credence Clearwater Revival as the entrance music for a UFC fighter.
But such was life when Kentucky native Dustin Hazelett entered the Octagon at MGM Grand at UFC 91. "Bad Moon Rising" may be even crazier a decision than that Appalachia beard Hazelett was rocking.
Hazelett (14-4) worked for a triangle and armbar for most of the first round and eventually locked it in, forcing Tamdan McCrory (11-2) to tap out in the welterweight bout. McCrory's right arm was bent in at least 47 directions as he submitted 3:59 into the first round.
"One of my goals is to get the most submissions of the night of anyone," Hazelett said after the fight.
He just added another to his resume at UFC 91.
And one of my goals is to finish above .500 in my last-minute predictions. Right now, I'm 1-2.
