dude did you see the numbers of significant strikes in RD3? Striking is scored over grappling and Shara outstriked him bad in that round.

Yeah he gets taken down way too effortlessly. Being that it’s still early he may improve

Shara is a stud but is going to be in trouble vs a strong wrestler guy refuses to get back to his feet

3rd round was the closest but Silva still didn't do much outside of scoring the takedowns, but still very minimal damage and no advanced positions.

Hit all my initial bets on the first fight, the over 1.5 and Shara by decision.

Pretty happy with that.

Shara fights at MW with literally no wrestlers. Who's going to take him down other than like Robert whittaker or something? That's why izz got the belt so easily

"Bruno Silva of all people"? Bruno Silva has 20 KO's. You say "ate some bombs" like it's a bad thing. Silva is a good fighter. 

I think quite a bit of Shara and see him being ranked in no time, especially with how dog **** Middleweight is.

This line is probably a bit wide but I confess I did not look into it.

@Shaolin86 
he didn't sucker punch him lmao, he confronted the dude for the horrifying crime of....pecking his own girlfriend on the cheek and the dude swung on him. That's what happens when you act like that. Him hiding at the entrance of the mall and suckerpunching the dude afterwards then stomping his head was disgusting. No excuse for that

@GoatChael 


I get Shara did some damage in R3, but to me Bruno's effective grappling wins it by holding Shara on his back for like 4+ mins.

29-28 imo
