Shara Bullet addressed the recent incident involving Dustin Poirier, saying he has no tolerance for drunken public behavior and that those who drink should do so behind closed doors. Bullet said that rather than making allowances for someone being drunk, he finds the behavior more objectionable, not less.
Shara Bullet has publicly weighed in on a recent incident involving former UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier, making clear he has no sympathy for disruptive behavior linked to alcohol consumption in public.
Bullet stated he finds drunken conduct in public settings completely unacceptable, going further to say that rather than viewing intoxication as a mitigating factor, he actually considers it to make the behavior more objectionable. He added that people who choose to drink should do so privately, behind closed doors, and not subject others to the consequences.
The comments directed attention back toward Poirier, the 37-year-old American southpaw out of American Top Team who competes in the lightweight division. Poirier carries a professional record of 30 wins and 10 losses and has long been one of the most recognizable names in the 155-pound weight class. Known for his aggressive output, he averages 5.24 significant strikes landed per minute at 50 percent accuracy, while also mixing in takedowns and submission attempts at a rate that has made him a well-rounded threat throughout his career.
