Shara Bullet Defeats Michel Pereira by Decision at UFC Baku

Shara Bullet returned from an 11-month layoff to defeat Michel Pereira by decision at UFC Baku, improving his UFC record to 5-1. The fight was largely a distance-control performance from Bullet after a difficult opening round, with the judges also overlooking a potential point deduction for hair-grabbing and an eye poke. Bullet acknowledged post-fight that he over-focused on landing a single finishing shot rather than working for points, and pledged to return to Baku and capture a title.
