Shara Bullet decisions Michel Pereira at UFC Baku in underwhelming performance

Shara Bullet defeated Michel Pereira by decision at UFC Baku, but the victory came with muted fanfare after a largely uneventful performance that included a poor first round and cautious work over the following ten minutes. Bullet, returning after eleven months away, was also fortunate to avoid a point deduction for hair-grabbing and an eye poke. Despite going 5-1 in the UFC, questions now surround Bullet's trajectory after a moment many felt could have elevated him to the top tier of the promotion's stars.
