Shara Bullet Defeats Michel Pereira at UFC Baku in Underwhelming Decision Win

Shara Bullet returned from an 11-month layoff to defeat Michel Pereira at UFC Baku, but the victory raised more questions than it answered. Bullet spent much of the fight working at range and was nearly docked a point for hair-grabbing and an eye poke, a far cry from the explosive performances that built his reputation. In his post-fight remarks, Bullet acknowledged he had been too focused on landing the perfect shot to finish the fight earlier, and he called on UFC to bring him back to Azerbaijan where he vowed to claim a championship.
