UFC 67: Melvin Guillard vs. Dustin Hazelett

Yep, another rumored bout has been added to the Super Bowl weekend UFC pay per view event, according to MMAWeekly.com.

Former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 2 contestant Melvin Guillard (21-5-2) is penciled in to fight Dustin Hazelett (7-3) in a 155-pound showdown.

Guillard, who has racked up a 3-1 record in the Octagon, has looked spectacular since getting trapped in a Josh Neer triangle choke at UFC Fight Night 3 on January 16, 2006 — a fight that was :40 seconds away from probably being stopped in Guillard's favor because of cuts.

In his most recent fight in September at UFC 63, the Team Punishment disciple put on an electrifying performance, dropping Gabe Ruediger in round one with a body shot — a body shot!

As for Hazelett, the upcoming fight will mark only the second UFC fight for the Cincinnati native. The training partner of Jorge Gurgel and former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin was submitted via kimura in his Octagon debut by Tony DeSouza at Ortiz-Shamrock 3: "Final Conflict" back in October.

Although Guillard is a super athletic and an exciting fighter, he has a bad tendency to leave himself open to submissions. And, Hazelett has won a majority of his fights via tap out, which could spell trouble for Melvin if this thing hits the mat.
