Le G\u00e9orgien, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Tbilissi en 1988, est arriv\u00e9 dans l&rsquo;octogone avec un CV de kickboxeur que peu d&rsquo;adversaires peuvent se vanter d&rsquo;avoir crois\u00e9. Aujourd&rsquo;hui chez Kings MMA, il \u00e9volue chez les poids plumes (featherweight) avec un style qui ne trompe personne : c&rsquo;est un frappeur, un vrai.<\/p>\n<h3>Du karat\u00e9 aux rings de Glory<\/h3>\n<p>Chikadze commence le karat\u00e9 G\u014dj\u016b-ry\u016b vers 4-5 ans. \u00c7a pose les bases. La suite, c&rsquo;est une collection de titres : champion du monde de karat\u00e9 en 2008, champion d&rsquo;Europe de Muay Tha\u00ef en 2011, champion du monde de kickboxing en 2013. En 2015, il rejoint Glory, la plus grosse organisation de kickboxing au monde, et y construit un palmar\u00e8s impressionnant : pr\u00e8s de 38 victoires, dont une vingtaine par KO. C&rsquo;est l\u00e0 qu&rsquo;il forge sa signature : un coup de pied au foie si d\u00e9vastateur que les fans l&rsquo;ont surnomm\u00e9 la \u00ab Giga kick \u00bb.<\/p>\n<h3>Le passage au MMA<\/h3>\n<p>Reconverti aux arts martiaux mixtes, Chikadze transpose sa frappe d&rsquo;\u00e9lite dans la cage. Son record MMA tourne autour de 15 victoires pour 5 d\u00e9faites, dont 9 par KO\/TKO \u2014 le reflet logique d&rsquo;un homme qui passe son temps debout et qui frappe fort. Son allonge de 74 pouces (1,88 m) et sa garde orthodoxe lui permettent de g\u00e9rer la distance et de placer ses coups au moment o\u00f9 l&rsquo;adversaire baisse la garde.<\/p>\n<h3>Combats marquants<\/h3>\n<p>Deux soir\u00e9es r\u00e9sument bien le personnage. En mai 2021, il plie Cub Swanson d\u00e8s le premier round avec un coup de pied au foie \u2014 la Giga kick en d\u00e9monstration. Quelques mois plus tard, en ao\u00fbt 2021, il sort vainqueur d&rsquo;un combat acharn\u00e9 contre Edson Barboza, autre frappeur r\u00e9put\u00e9, par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round. Sa premi\u00e8re vraie marche manqu\u00e9e arrive en janvier 2022 : oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 Calvin Kattar en t\u00eate d&rsquo;affiche, il s&rsquo;incline aux points apr\u00e8s cinq rounds qui montrent aussi ses limites quand le combat s&rsquo;\u00e9ternise.<\/p>\n<h3>Aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h3>\n<p>Chikadze reste l&rsquo;un des frappeurs les plus redout\u00e9s de sa division. Quand il touche, \u00e7a fait mal \u2014 et ses adversaires le savent avant m\u00eame d&rsquo;entrer dans la cage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giga_Chikadze\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/giga-chikadze\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/glorykickboxing.com\/fighters\/giga-chikadze\">Glory Kickboxing<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giga \u00ab Ninja \u00bb Chikadze Avant m\u00eame de poser un gant en MMA, Giga Chikadze avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 une carri\u00e8re enti\u00e8re derri\u00e8re lui.
