MMA fans react to Hawes vs. Ferreira

Hawes is now on a three-fight losing skid in the UFC and has also come up short in four out of his last five outings. Another point of concern is that all four of those losses have come via knockouts.

'No Hype' is currently 4-4 in the UFC and has an overall professional record of 12-6. Considering the current run, his future in the multi-billion dollar promotion is uncertain.
