In Oakland, CA on August 7, 2010, Rick Story and Dustin Hazelett will fight. This fight will be a part of the UFC 117 event. Entering this fight, both of these fighters are coming from very different angles as they have had varied levels of success recently.
As of late, UFC betting star, Rick Story has been enjoying a lot of success. He seems to be on track to find his way in the top level of his division and he has won three fights in a row. A win will could easily place him in the top 5 spots of the division. He has won 10 fights while losing three, to this point in his career.
As of late, Hazelett is on the way. In his last fight at UFC 10, he specifically ran into some problems. In his last fight, he was knocked out by Paul Daley, although he has generally seen success in his career. In doing so, Daley even earned a “knockout of the night” award. To bounce back, he will need to do something. If Hazelett hopes to find his spot to get his opponent on the ground, he will at least need to hold his own, although it is clear that his strength isn’t stand up fighting.
In this matchup, it looks as though Rick Story will be the favorite, even though these fights have different styles. To win the fight, look for him to come in with the necessary momentum.
