Jeremiah Wells : le welterweight qui a prouv\u00e9 que les sceptiques avaient tort<\/h2>\n

D’ouvrier \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Jeremiah Wells commence le MMA \u00e0 24 ans, en 2011. Pas de pass\u00e9 en sport de combat, pas de formation martiale depuis l’enfance \u2014 juste une envie de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ceux qui doutaient de lui. \u00ab Les gens ne croyaient pas que je pouvais me battre, alors j’ai voulu leur prouver qu’ils avaient tort \u00bb, r\u00e9sume-t-il. N\u00e9 le 30 octobre 1986 \u00e0 West Hazleton, Pennsylvanie, Wells travaillait dans la construction avant de s’accrocher au MMA. Il s’installe dans le circuit de Philadelphie, passe sa ceinture noire de BJJ et forge son jeu \u00e0 Renzo Gracie Philly.<\/p>\n

Les circuits r\u00e9gionaux, titre apr\u00e8s titre<\/h3>\n

Wells ne br\u00fble pas les \u00e9tapes. Il gravit patiemment les \u00e9chelons des circuits r\u00e9gionaux de la c\u00f4te est am\u00e9ricaine. En ao\u00fbt 2018, il d\u00e9croche le titre welterweight CES MMA en battant Jason Norwood. Un an plus tard, en septembre 2019, il ajoute la ceinture CFFC \u00e0 son palmar\u00e8s en dominan Marco Smallman. \u00c0 34 ans, il frappe \u00e0 la porte de l’UFC avec un bagage solide et un record sans \u00e9quivoque.<\/p>\n

UFC : entr\u00e9e remarqu\u00e9e, bonuses m\u00e9rit\u00e9s<\/h3>\n

Son d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC, le 26 juin 2021, donnent le ton d’embl\u00e9e : Wells r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Warlley Alves par KO au 2e round. Mais c’est le 18 juin 2022 qu’il marque vraiment les esprits en effa\u00e7ant Court McGee d’un crochet gauche brutal, d\u00e9crochant au passage le bonus Performance of the Night. En avril 2023, il domine Matthew Semelsberger sur trois rounds pour une victoire en split d\u00e9cision. Son record UFC grimpe \u00e0 4-0 avant les premi\u00e8res turbulences.<\/p>\n

Revers et rebond<\/h3>\n

L’\u00e9t\u00e9 2023 tourne mal : le 5 ao\u00fbt, Carlston Harris l’\u00e9touffe via une cl\u00e9 anaconda (soumission technique), premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite dans l’octogone. Cinq mois plus tard, en f\u00e9vrier 2024, Max Griffin lui vole une split d\u00e9cision contest\u00e9e. Deux d\u00e9faites de suite auraient pu fragiliser un combattant plus fragile mentalement. Pas Wells. Le 1er novembre 2025, il revient dans l’octogone et contr\u00f4le Themba Gorimbo sur l’int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 du combat pour une victoire en d\u00e9cision unanime, stoppant l’h\u00e9morragie et relan\u00e7ant sa dynamique.<\/p>\n

Profil de combattant<\/h3>\n

Wells est un welterweight complet : debout, il cherche la frappe tranchante, notamment le crochet gauche qui lui a valu son bonus de 2022 ; au sol, sa ceinture noire BJJ lui donne des options r\u00e9elles de soumission. Son gabarit (1 m 75, allonge de 74 pouces, soit presque 188 cm) est dans la norme de la cat\u00e9gorie, mais c’est son cardio de fin de match et sa solidit\u00e9 mentale qui constituent ses vrais atouts. \u00c0 39 ans, avec un bilan global de 13-4-1 dont 5 victoires dans l’octogone, il reste une menace s\u00e9rieuse dans un welterweight UFC particuli\u00e8rement encombr\u00e9.<\/p>\n
