Shara Pitbullet? Hows his BJJ?

[Platinum Perry Mason]

It's obvious he's well versed on his feet and it will be hard to top a double spinning backfist KO.
Top 15 opponents will be looking to exploit his ground game and what if he gets poked in his good eye?
If you are completely blinded and you don't have the force, bjj would be the next best thing.

I also wonder about his top hat and monocle game.
How would Shara Pitbullet look with a monocle, top-hat and mustache?
These are the questions plaguing me.
What say you?

You’ll know his grappling skill subject to the level of his opponent. He’s being brought up nice and slow

 

[ninja boot]

all i know is I hope he has a ground game as it'd be pretty damn disappointing to come off that win only to get dominated on the ground by the next guy.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Good question.

Also, can he only fight in Saudia Arabia forever? Who would want to fight there F that S

 

[TriangleMonkey]

He said he’d take Vettori next to prove he can’t be taken down

Who needs a whole bunch of BJJ if they can’t be floored easily?

If your looking for TDs against him be careful, he’s hurling bones at your nugget from anywhere LoL

he's hurling bones at your nugget.... that is the first time I have seen those words in that order...

I imagine he's been drilling TDD, but it's nowhere near the level it has to be at to be a threat for the title. Shara is one of the more exciting guys we have, hopefully he's the reason commissions change their rules about fighters with one eye.

The let Nick Newel fight Justin Gaethje with one arm, but Shara can't knock guys out with one eye?

Let’s say he is no ADCC champion.

The guy has mental issues. He's entertaining but I can't wait till someone KOs him. That was about as gentle as you can be with a leg lock submission and the guy let go as quick as you can after a tap.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

His BJJ is elbowing you in the head as hard as he can.

 

[NoSmilez]

He is no bueno on the ground. I think at best he can do is hold someone until they get stood up. I think Vettori mauls him on the ground but Vettori is an orc that forgot how to wrestle.

I’m not a fan of lay and pray, but I think I would be entertained if someone does that to him.

Didn't Bruno Silva almost succeed with this lol

There's a reason they always stop a fight when one of a fighter's eyes swells shut, even if there's nothing broken. A few reasons, really. Having a blind side is really bad news against a competent MMA fighter. A mediocre kickboxer fighting other bad-to-mediocre kickboxers under an MMA ruleset might get away with it, but not someone fighting actual MMA at so much as a regional contender level.

I'm sure Vettori would love to fight him and he might be one of the guys Vettori could actually finish, especially in a 5 rounder.

Bisping proved a man can win a championship with one eye, once he revealed that, it should have killed that conversation. Orlobai just fought a 15 minute war after getting his eye compromised in the first few minutes.
I know what you're saying is the commissions logic, I just think it's outdated and now, provably, has negative impacts on fighters careers. If Bisping came clean, he never would have touched gold, Shara being stuck in Saudi, etc.

Bisping proved a man can win a championship with one eye,

Bisping was never actually blind in his bad eye while he was still fighting. There's a huge difference between legally blind and actually blind. You can react to really blurry motion in your peripheral vision; you can't react to seeing nothing at all. Not that Bisping should have been fighting in the condition he was in, but he really isn't a good comparison point to Shara.

 

[Conan the K-9]

P4P is a joke and we can see it, because a guy on the top is someone who has one defense against a fighter in his weight class and the third one is a retired guy, with one win in his weight class.

Didn't Bruno Silva almost succeed with this lol

lol, true! Preferably a bit more backpacking and laying on side control or half guard and a bit less strikes

I'm sure Vettori would love to fight him and he might be one of the guys Vettori could actually finish, especially in a 5 rounder.

If Marvin could do what he did to Izzy he would get the choke easy on ginger. Same thing I can see happening if Costa would decide to grapple like he did with Rocksalt, he would get his first submission win in the UFC.

Not really he lost every round even when on top and was getting beaten up on top.

But again, Shara is winning fights and proving he can knock dudes out who have 2 eyes. His defensive striking is also slick from a guy that is supposedly blind in one eye.
Being blinded in one eye only limits your vision by 25% anyway, you only lose the peripheral of that eye since we have binocular vision.

There have been single eyed warriors fighting to the death, let alone prize fighters. Dunno, if it was up to me, I'd let him bang bro
