Shara Bullet has spoken about his first-round knockdown against Michel Pereira at UFC Baku, admitting he had specifically prepared for Pereira's right hand yet still walked into it. Bullet said he wanted to exploit Pereira's aggressive finishing instincts by countering from the bottom, and that once he had absorbed the knockdown he no longer feared what was coming. He added that his focus on landing a precise counter shot ultimately prevented him from finishing the fight earlier.
