Shara Bullet beats Michel Pereira by decision but leaves future direction unclear

Shara Bullet defeated Michel Pereira at UFC Baku to improve to 5-1 in the promotion, but the performance raised questions about his trajectory after an 11-month layoff. Bullet relied heavily on distance management for much of the fight and narrowly avoided a point deduction for hair-grabbing and an eye poke. In his post-fight remarks, Bullet acknowledged over-focusing on a finishing shot rather than accumulating points and promised a championship run, vowing to return to Azerbaijan and capture a belt.
