Son surnom \u00ab\u00a0Downtown\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 baptis\u00e9 ainsi par une boxeuse qui s&rsquo;appelait Kim Hamburg \u2014 colle \u00e0 sa fa\u00e7on de combattre : direct, sans chichi, toujours au travail. Ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien sous Roli Delgado, il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene avec le Westside Fight Team et, depuis 2021, avec Glory MMA.<\/p>\n<h3>Le chemin vers le grand show<\/h3>\n<p>Brown d\u00e9bute sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle en novembre 2013, et passe les ann\u00e9es suivantes \u00e0 se battre sur les circuits r\u00e9gionaux du sud des \u00c9tats-Unis. Il se construit un record solide en LFA et dans les championnats locaux \u2014 champion XFN kickboxing, champion V3 \u00e0 la poids plume \u2014 avant que Dana White ne lui ouvre la porte du Contender Series le 27 ao\u00fbt 2019. Face \u00e0 Dylan Lockard, Brown se retrouve envoy\u00e9 au sol en premier round, prend une d\u00e9duction de point au second, mais revient coller un arm-triangle en troisi\u00e8me round pour arracher le contrat UFC. Exactement le genre de type qu&rsquo;ils cherchent.<\/p>\n<h3>Quatre ans sous la banni\u00e8re octogonale<\/h3>\n<p>Le d\u00e9but \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC est compliqu\u00e9 : le 29 f\u00e9vrier 2020, Jordan Griffin le soumet \u00e0 la guillotine en deuxi\u00e8me round. Mais Brown ne dispara\u00eet pas. Le 1er mai 2021 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC on ESPN : Reyes vs. Proch\u00e1zka, il passe en split d\u00e9cision devant Kai Kamaka III pour son premier succ\u00e8s dans la promotion. Il confirme le 15 janvier 2022 face \u00e0 Charles Rosa, domin\u00e9 aux points sur trois rounds.<\/p>\n<p>La trajectoire se complique mi-2022 avec une d\u00e9faite aux points contre Shayilan Nuerdanbieke (25 juin 2022), mais Brown r\u00e9pond le mieux possible : le 10 d\u00e9cembre 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 282, il soumet Erik Silva par arm-triangle au troisi\u00e8me round (3:41) et emporte le bonus Performance of the Night. Son head kick KO en LFA avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 point\u00e9 dans le Top 10 de SportsCenter \u2014 les finishs spectaculaires, c&rsquo;est dans son ADN.<\/p>\n<p>Les deux derniers combats UFC sont durs. Il perd par rear-naked choke contre Bill Algeo en deuxi\u00e8me round le 15 avril 2023 \u2014 un combat intense qui vaut quand m\u00eame le bonus Fight of the Night \u2014 puis subit le m\u00eame traitement au troisi\u00e8me round face \u00e0 Darren Elkins le 15 octobre 2023. En octobre 2024, il quitte le roster de l&rsquo;UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Bilan et suite<\/h3>\n<p>TJ Brown aura termin\u00e9 son passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC avec trois victoires pour six sorties dans la promotion. P\u00e8re c\u00e9libataire d&rsquo;un fils, il repart en circuits r\u00e9gionaux d\u00e9but 2024 avec deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives contre Rey Trujillo (20 janvier) et Joshua Weems (2 mars), puis combat \u00e0 l&rsquo;United Fight League en ao\u00fbt 2024. Son record professionnel total tourne autour de 21 victoires et 12 d\u00e9faites, avec une majorit\u00e9 de finishs \u2014 dix soumissions et quatre KO \u00e0 son actif. Le genre de palmar\u00e8s qui dit tout sur le combattant qu&rsquo;il est : il n&rsquo;est pas venu pour faire acte de pr\u00e9sence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/T.J._Brown\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/tj-brown\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/downtown-tj-brown\/\">The AllStar<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TJ \u00ab\u00a0Downtown\u00a0\u00bb Brown, poids plume UFC de Pine Bluff (Arkansas), ceinture noire BJJ, 21 victoires dont 10 soumissions.
