    Now, I know he's forfeited it because he weighed in over the limit, but what is this about him being the first brit to go for a belt in the UFC or something? Since when is Dustin Hazelett holding a Welterweight title? I thought GSP held it, and there was no other belts other than division and interim titles? Someone care to clean this up for an idiot?

    Thanks.

    Something about it on the UFC preview I'm watching, and I heard it a few days ago. I've probably got it mistaken but there's something involving him being the first brit to get a title shot or some bollocks, I've just not payed enough attention, haha.

    :huh

    Who told you that Daley was going for a belt?

    FYI the only thing that Daley forfeited by missing weight was 10% of his purse.

    Sounds like you're confusing Daley with Dan Hardy.

    I'm definitely not. I know he's the first going for a belt but I'm sure I've definitely heard something about Paul Daley, probably isn't belt related but i dunno.

    ...I'm going back downstairs to look at the TV more and pay full attention. Nevermind, I really don't care about any of the fights other than the pounding Evans is gonna take.

    edit: Just to clarify, I'm not a complete idiot who is tuning into this event because I thought a brit was going for a world title. I'm fully aware of Dan Hardy and his achievements in the UFC. I probably just misheard something about Paul Daley. But hey, it doesn't matter, from what it looks like at the weigh ins, it's going to be a one round job for Hazelett anyway.

    I don't know what to tell you. It's only Daley's second fight in the UFC. Even if he wins (personally, I think that he's going to get subbed), he's got a long road before he gets anywhere near a title shot.

    i think they were saying that if he beats hazelett the way he beat kampmann then he,s looking to get a title shot straight away

    I've just heard some type of bull**** about the "first time a brit has done this in the ufc" a few times this week and misheard. And yeah, I reckon he's just gonna be flattened tonight, I feel he doesn't seem to be taking the fight as serious as it is. I don't know much about Hazelett, I think I've seen him fight before, but from what I've seen and what I've read on these forums, he's not exactly gonna lie down.

    Haven't a clue about anyone on the card though, other than Rashad, Thiago and Volkmann (who I hope wins/is winning/has won)

    Maybe perhaps they are referencing to when Daley fought Jake Sheilds for that Elite XC trash title?

    I have no idea, I just remember something about Paul Daley being the first british something in the UFC, and from what I remember it was UFC related seen as it was mostly said in UFC articles and that build up show.

    I dunno, who gives a ****, he's going to be beaten in the first round anyway, he can't even make weight and is taking him lightly, in my eyes.

    Definately a 50-50 fight but yeah I agree, Hazelett is really serious business. That guy's subs are awesome. If Daley took him lightly then he's gonna end up just like how Sheilds beat him. But Daley is a stud on the feet though. His standup is pretty flawless.

    He's getting flattened. Blinking like a mother ****er. Won't even be able to have the reaction speed to even question a Hazelett takedown nevermind a submission.
