By Ariel Helwani - Video Reporter and Writer

But Hazelett finally has a fight on his hands, and it's against the hard-hitting Paul Daley at UFC 108 this Saturday night. MMAFighting.com spoke to "McLovin" about his tumultuous year, exposing Daley's ground game, and "Semtex's" supreme confidence going into their fight. Check out the video interview below.
