Friday, September 7th, 2007The UFC announced that Mike Swick had to withdraw from Ultimate Fight Night 11 (UFN 11) due to a rib injury. Swick was scheduled to fight Jonathan Goulet at the upcoming event. Welterweight Dustin Hazelett will take Mike Swick’s place for this fight. For those of you who are not familiar with Hazelett, he is currently a 9 and 3 fighter. He has fought in 3 UFC events, loosing only his first event to Tony DeSouza back in 2006. We’ve included a video of Hazelett fighting Chad Reiner at the end of this post. The quality isn’t great, but better than nada.
“The welterweight debut of Mike Swick will have to wait after the former middleweight contender was forced to withdraw from September 19th’s UFC Fight Night show in Las Vegas with a rib injury. Stepping up to the plate to face Jonathan Goulet at The Palms will be up and comer Dustin Hazelett. UFC Fight Night, which features the lightweight battle between Din Thomas and Kenny Florian, airs live on Spike TV beginning at 9pm.” Source – UFC.com
