How about that Shara Bullet vs MVP matchup though?

[Young Calf Kick]

It might be a bit of a random matchup but MVP has performed much better in the UFC than expected, especially if you take into account he’s almost 38.

It’s also a clash of two unorthodox striking styles. There used to be a time when those could turn out to be point fight staring contests but not as much lately, and the way MVP fought against Holland also gave me a lot to be exited about. Shara bullet until thus far is must see tv aswell.

Who takes it?

Hope it's a fun, crazy fight and not a staring contest!

 

[Chubi]

MVP is old, and Shara is low tier. Will watch.

MVP's success hinges on his speed, and even at 38, he still has it. It's hard to deal with strikes you barely recognize coming. Happy to see the general opinion of him has changed (I couldn't count how many around the Heavies dismissed him as a can, crushing cans, for years), another example as to why not to put as much stock into the org in which a fighter fights, or who he fights, but mostly what you witness with your own two eyes. He's always had some holes, but his strengths are a real bitch to deal with, for anyone he faces.

I really like the fight. Shara took a bit to win me over, but, even with his own limitations, his striking is legit and a problem for any opponent of his, as well. Doing what he does with a literal handicap is pretty crazy.

Should be pretty fun.

This is pretty much how I see it, MVP should take it fairly easily but his age can be a factor as well. Shara doesn't seem to pack very much power and needs volume to put guys away and MVP is hard to hit so we will see.

hope the winner fights izzy

gonna have to pick Shara in this one.... MVP not looking as hot as he once did... It's been a few fights...

He beat a guy everybody thought he'd beat then lost a decision. How is that much better than expected?

Holland/Page was even odds on the betting lines. More people picked Holland to win on Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/107061-ufc-299

Saying "everybody thought" Page would beat Holland is objectively false.

 

[World eater]

Ha, casuals getting excited about a striking match in small gloves.
Go watch kickboxing!

P.S.
For those with no sense of humour, I’m joking.

 

[mister piscadinha]

mvp turned garry into a grappler(who in turn turned shavkat into a grappler)
shara seems mildly impressive against low level comp

mvp by decision

 

[mister piscadinha]

the winner should face izzy and the loser kopylov


let the strikers strike

MVP is old, and Shara is low tier. Will watch.

The most NYC MMA fan response ever:
Briefly cuts down both fighters; but still interested in taking the time to view the matchup.

I love it!

I agree but MVP still starches him, unless dude turns into crotch sniffer for decision.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Could be exciting. Could be boring. Definitely would be an Apex Main Event.

 

[HHJ]

Shara gonna parlay this win to a fight with style bender

 

[Simple Southerner]

Bullet will fuck him up likely rag dolls him

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

MVP's gonna piece him up, look how easily he was landing his right hand on Ian Garry, Shara was getting tagged by Armen Petrosyan's 1-2 so MVP's speed will give him fits on the feet. Shara's kicking won't work on a long stance like MVP who's darting in and out, unless Shara lands some crazy elbow or spinning backfist he should get schooled

Yep, looks like Holland was a slight favorite

I like this fight.

ginger pirate ftw. I feel mvp might play it safe but shara has more ways to bother him

Bring on the crazy elbows!
