Phil Hawes favored over Roman Dolidze coinflip UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
The pick comes with heavy hedging — it's framed as close to a coin flip decided by which path each guy can implement, with the choice going to Hawes almost by default.
Hawes brings a well-rounded, division-one wrestling background paired with real boxing power, and has shown he can finish good opposition. The lingering question is his chin after being knocked out by a hard-hitting opponent, though that loss is tempered by the puncher involved being legitimately heavy-handed rather than it reflecting a clear defensive flaw. Overall he's viewed as the more well-rounded fighter, but the matchup is close enough that the analysis stops short of real conviction either way.
