But honestly Aliskerov's standup was kinda sloppy. It is that Hawes is so chinny.

Hawes has the pharmaceuticals but nothing to strengthen the chin

@andreypa Nah, I don't think so. Hawes actually has really good striking. His problem is just his striking defence and his glass chin. Other than that, Hawes is a decent fighter but that chin will probably hold him back in his career.

Phil Hawes is the definition of a glass cannon. Looks great until the other guys does anything back. Every. Single. Time.

Man, if Hawes had anything outside one of the most consistently exploitable chins in all of MMA history, dudes career could be a whole different tale, but for now, its either win and look solid, or look solid until his soul leaves his body. Ya never know.
