Hazelett OK After Parisyan Withdrawal

He's disappointed, but Dustin Hazelett says he's moving on after Karo Parisyan withdrew Thursday from their scheduled fight at UFC 106.

"Everything happens for a reason, and I trust God's plan," Hazelett told MMA Insider just hours after the news was confirmed.

Hazelett received his show/win money from the UFC and assurances he would be put on the next available card.

He plans to stay in Vegas with his cornermen and several family members who've flown in and watch the fights.

"It's out of my hands, so I've got to make the best of it," he said.

Frank Mir Wants Brock Lesnar To Get Well

Frank Mir does not want to see Brock Lesnar leave the cage.

The former heavyweight champion said he hopes the ailing champion gets well soon.

Why? He's obsessed with a rematch.

"That's pretty much been my driving focus to go to the gym every day, to change myself and grow as a fighter," Mir said at a Q and A session for the WEC on Tuesday.

Lesnar was hospitalized last week and diagnosed with a bacterial infection of his intestines -- a local news affiliate in Minnesota called it a severe case of diverticulitis, a digestive disease in the large intestine -- prompting the indefinite delay of a title bout with Shane Carwin.

UFC president Dana White on Monday told TMZ that Lesnar might never fight again but appeared to back off those comments in subsequent interviews, saying the champion's fate depended on the severity of the condition.

If Lesnar was out for good, Mir said it didn't matter that his prospects in the division improved.

"To know that there's a possibility that (a rematch) might never happen, that's been taking me a couple of days to try and wrap my mind around," he said.

"It's going to give me a hard time."
