Is Shara Bullet the weakest hype train in a while?

Consensus on here after his fight seemed to be like “nice kicks, decent striking, but big holes in the grappling, besides striking from the bottom”. Honestly, after all the build-up on here of his fans, I didn’t expect him to look so one-dimensional. Sure Alex Pereira has had success with a striking-base, and has been working on his grappling lots, but is Shara capable of the same? I don’t see too much going well for him when he starts fighting ranked contenders, and just compared to Khamzat, Shavkat, Aliskerov, Umar, he seems kind of weak in comparison. Anyone else feel the same? Tell me why I’m wrong.
 
You're wrong because fighters can improve. He's a fun exciting striker with abysmal TDD. TDD can be worked on, he is actually very active off of his back with strikes, but his guard in general is subpar. Work on back game, getting back up, and TDD and could be a fringe top ten gatekeeper with a super fun style.
Do I think he'll be champion? Not any time soon.
Do I see him being a fun fighter I'll enjoy seeing on cards? Hell yea.

Hah, you kind of prove my point saying at best his ceiling is gatekeeper, the other hype trains I mentioned could all be champs.
 
again: his grappling is not sub-par. but throwing that many kicks from so many crazy angles, means if an opponent times it right they can take him down relatively easily.

he also has a chin and mostly let's his hands go when he starts getting hit. he had a guy that is a pretty well respected middleweight striker, basically panic wrestling. he'll most likely do just fine

Gatekeeper in his current form. Strickland was seen as a permanent gatekeeper till he put on the performance of his life and dismantled Izzy. That's the lovely part about the sport. Maybe his TDD get good enough that he just FUCKS guys up on the feet, we'll see. If Strickland weren't champion, I'd love to see the two of them duke it out, would be a massively fun, violent fight.
The man spoke true words in the post-fight interview:

“Strike. Dangerous. Strike. Dangerous. Let’s go!”

He’s fun. MMA is supposed to be fun. I’m on the train because I like fun.
That's my reasoning too.
 
theres only 1 guy hyping this dajjal on this site!
 
he has time to improve and they can treat him like pimblett or o'malley and just feed him cans for a bit
 
I think he's good. Bruno Silva is good. And there's not much of a hype train in here other than the Hellowhosthat guy.
 
He strikes me as a stubborn guy who won't learn or train his weaknesses. So yeah, I was let down.

He did not only get taken down easily but seemed dumbly comfortable staying down when he had chances to get back on his feet.

He is a relentless cardio machine that is something else, and I already seen him before, this is not hype, he is a beast in the way he fights...he just does not tire but we will see right, if some wrestler zaps his energy, then what,...?
 
Not at all. He obviously needs to change his approach in this matter due to how the rules are under unified MMA scoring. Sooner or later he might get robbed by being controlled from the top
