Shara exposed by old guy

[HHJ]

MVP was starting to lite Ian Garry up before Garry became a human backpack. The dude is fast and knows how to use his reach .

Yeah but so far in the UFC he just spams that same lunging punch and he's not able to KO anyone with it, and he doesnt follow up with any strikes after he lands it. So his opponents just wind up recovering and stay in the fight.

How come any time an undefeated prospect gets his first loss he's considered "exposed"? Kinda like when Matt Hammill "exposed" JBJ? Did TK "expose" Fedor? Did Machida "expose" both Thiago Silva AND Rashad Evans?

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Someone rate this fight for me out of 10.

Is it must watch?

A 2.. it was horrible

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

MVP fought like a bitch imo, he literally ran and point fought but that said he did clearly outclass shara but he didn't need to fight like that.

I hate point fighting Karate. Avoid, Avoid, stay on the outside, leap in tie up, retreat, rinse and repeat, run from striking if corned along the fence.

 

[haj02]

MVP's style is so different to every other striker in MMA pretty much that these guys just look confused against him.

 

[HHJ]

I've never seen a fighter not get hit in the head by an opposing striker through 2 rounds of a stand-up fight. Even crazier considering Bullet was 15-0. Bullet looked baffled.

People may complain that Page was point fighting but he was lasering Bullet in the face.

I can understand people dissapointed in both sides.

MVP just basically clowning and playful point fighting with no damage

and Shara just kind of not sure what to do when his style doesnt work. It was one thing for MVP to be too fast for his kicks but he def had oppurtunities in the clinch and against the fence and it seemed like he just doesnt train enough to do damage in those scenarios

he just got exposed by defensive fighter he will learn how to deal with them but ths guy hit him few times or mvp has pillows for fists and legs or shara has granit chin

I honestly think MVP just doesnt hit that hard. In his other ufc fights he bombs on dudes w a lunge but its just stunnin ppl at best.

There are better places to cry.

MVP's def scored some knockouts with punches in his day but it's easy to score KO's when you have complete cans who just charge at you with no defense.

He landed lots of Holland and I think a couple of right hands on Ian Garry but none of them particularly hurt him.

If you like watching MVP it was a fun fight. It was absolutely comical at times watching Shara fail to do ANYTHING. I'm not even sure he landed a head shot after three rounds.

I'd watching it if I were you, but I like fights where a technical fighter outclasses someone this badly.

 

[Pilo]

Y'all are so dramatic. He did not get exposed. It's not like he got knocked out, finished, or rocked and wobbled all over the place. I mean come on. We are looking at a 29-28 score card.

He can learn a lot from this fight and will probably come back stronger.

He did not get exposed the way that other overhyped fighters have been (i.e., it’s not like he fought a wrestler and got a huge hole in his game completely exposed) but he was still handed his first pro loss by a 37 year-old welterweight who was 1-1 in the UFC.

MVP is super good, he’s got a unique and awkward style, so no disrespect to him there, but Shara Bullet was undefeated, he’s a big 185er, and he’s got nothing to offer other than his standup game, and he got beat at it.

All that being said, losing to MVP is one of those things where, even if you learn anything from it, you more than likely won’t ever fight another guy like him.

Frankly, this is about as fundamental a setback as it could possibly be for him.

That's a good take, but let's sit back and see how things unfold.

For sure! That’s not the end of Shara.

But it kinda cleared up that he belongs on the occasional Saudi Arabia card, against mid-tier, strictly stand up middleweights.

On the other hand, I’m quite curious to see who MVP gets next.

 

[HuskySamoan]

This must be the record for the most failed leg kicks in a fight. Might’ve landed one head, strike the entire fight too.

Dagestan has fallen. Poirier beat the shit out of Islam, Usman nearly lost to a random Irish bloke, Umar lost to Merab, Said lost to Lokdog, Shada lost to old man MVP and then Shamil Musaev kept killing his own first Ramazanov, then Umalatov and eventually Kuramagomedov.

 

[Milenkovic]

Defensively Shara has proved to be quite poor.

He just had 0 answer for MVP

 

[Dr Brian Pepper]

It's on both, same as a lay n pray style, it's on both for doing nothing.

mind you he landed a spinning heel headkick perfectly btw lol

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Yeah but so far in the UFC he just spams that same lunging punch and he's not able to KO anyone with it, and he doesnt follow up with any strikes after he lands it. So his opponents just wind up recovering and stay in the fight.

To be fair, all three guys MVP has fought have never been KO'd before.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Why all the mvp hate? Hes a point karate fighter what did you expect?

because Shara was the favorite and people dont like being wrong.
