Shara Bullet defeats Michel Pereira by decision in muted performance

Shara Bullet returned from an 11-month layoff to defeat Michel Pereira at UFC Baku, but the victory came with questions about his future trajectory. Bullet fought at distance for much of the contest and was nearly docked a point for hair-grabbing and an eye poke. In his post-fight statement, Bullet acknowledged he was too focused on a specific finish and promised more to come, vowing to return to Baku and claim UFC gold.
