Right in the first round, Michel landed a beautiful straight punch on Shara, who fell. Taking advantage of the moment, the Brazilian was also superior on the ground, landing punches and elbows on his opponent. However, the Russian came back strong for the second round and, through sheer volume of strikes and pressure, frustrated the "Flying Paraense".

With the fight tied, Shara gained confidence and followed the same script in the third round. The Russian used kicks extensively to disrupt Michel's game. It's true that the Brazilian didn't give up, but he slowed down and posed little threat to his opponent.
