Through-Check & Connection Questions

I'm buying 2 different tickets for this itinerary so I'm a bit concerned about tight connections. However, they're all with OW so hopefully that would make it a bit better.

The tight connections are is this:

Code:
UL225: CMB-DXB
DEP: 6:25pm
ARR: 9:40pm

Connecting

CX738: DXB-HKG-EWR
DEP: 11:00PM
ARR: 11:05AM
My concern is with the 80 min transit time too risky? Also they're on separate tickets so would I be able to through-check my luggage from CMB-DXB-HKG-EWR?

Second Tight Connection:

Code:
LAX-HKG-DXB: CX897 + CX731
DEP: 9:40AM
ARR: 3:25PM

Connecting in HKG

DEP: 4:30PM
ARR: 8:55PM

Connecting in DXB-CMB-SIN UL226+302

DEP: 10:45PM
ARR: 4:55AM
With this I only have 65 min connection at HKG and around 110 mins at DXB. Would my luggage be through-checked all the way to SIN? Also... Would I have any recourse if the delay at LAX makes me miss my connection from DXB-CMB-SIN?

Thanks!

Edit: Do you guys recommend that maybe I should take a earlier flight to DXB from LAX/HKG and just spend 16 hours in DXB? =\

CX will be DXB-HKG-JFK/LAX-HKG-DXB
UL will be SYD-BKK-CMB-DXB-CMB-SIN-SYD

So you have a CX DXB-US-DXB nested within a UL SYD-DXB-SYD?

Pretty much. But I actually have purposes for the SYD-DXB-SYD trip. I don't know if I would really call it nesting though...
