The UFC is stacking UFC 96.  It looks like Dustin Hazelett will return at UFC 96 in his native Ohio to face Ben Saunders according to Sherdog.  Saunders turned heads with his dominating performance over Brandon Wolff at UFC Fight for The Troops.  He used vicious knees and great Muay Thai to obliterate Wolff in highlight reel fashion to say the least.  Hazelett is very impressive.  He seems to be a submission of the night threat every time he fights.  His last performance he torked the arm of Tamdan McCrory and forces him to tap. 

Ben “Killa B” Saunders has earned the step up in competition because he is 3-0 since TUF 6.  He has impressed people and shocked many with how well he has done and how he has improved.  Dustin “McLovin'” Hazelett is a much improved fighter.  The Team Gurgel trained fighter has highlight reel submissions.  This should be a great fight.  I hope Saunders is training submission defense.
