Are hyphens needed on each side of "vs." and "versus" below?
And are hyphens required/needed on each side of "to" with the phrasal adjective involving time in the last example? They are phrasal adjectives that probably need them, correct?
the Mike Tyson-vs.-Evander Holyfield pay-per-view
the Rousey-versus-Holm fight
the Rousey-vs.-Holm fight
the 11 p.m.-to-7 a.m. shift
Thank you.
Examples at Chicago Manual of Style say no hyphen at least in your time range example.
If you want to use from with 9–5, make the to explicit: We work from 9 to 5. Otherwise omit from: We work 9–5.
Even if strictly okay from grammar perspective, as described at here such heavily stacked modifiers as you quote in the examples do look unwieldy.
Perhaps, you could trim the vs and to from your examples and use en dash, e.g.
the Mike Tyson–Evander Holyfield pay-per-view
the Rousey–Holm fight
the 23:00–7:00 shift
Interesting en dash article at thepunctuationguide.com.
