Shara Bullet defeats Michel Pereira by decision but raises questions about his future

Shara Bullet returned from an 11-month absence to defeat Michel Pereira by decision at UFC Baku, improving to 5-1 in the organization. The performance drew mixed reviews, with Bullet spending much of the fight working at range rather than producing the aggressive output UFC had expected in a co-main event slot. Bullet addressed the result post-fight, acknowledging he over-focused on setting up finishing attempts and vowed to return to Azerbaijan to capture a title.
