@LethalMMA I agree, Ikram is non-existent on the feet, but it's Phil Hawes' chin.

Judging from the press conferences, Newark venue and crowd seems like a dump to fight in

Sure. But imagine wasting 10k on Holmes. I don’t care how much he has, it was a dumb bet.

There's a reason why they haven't been back here in four years. Ever since that Covington vs Lawler fight night main event where the Trumps were in attendance

@SenselessSun Hawes also has bad striking defence. Saying Ikram's striking is non-existent is kinda silly. He may have low output, but his striking is very accurate and has power in his strikes. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Ikram KO's Hawes here, because Hawes leaves himself open way too much.

@Noxx Ikram's striking in his last two fights was pretty hard to watch imo, but he def can still KO Hawes, only because it's Hawes.
