Sergey Morozov \u2014 Le cogneur kazakh qui a gravi les \u00e9chelons du bantamweight<\/h2>\n

Sergey Morozov n’a pas grandi dans une salle de sport. N\u00e9 le 14 juin 1989 \u00e0 Aktobe, au Kazakhstan, il passe ses premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es \u00e0 taper dans un ballon, pas dans un sac de frappe. C’est \u00e0 19 ans qu’il d\u00e9couvre les arts martiaux \u2014 tardivement pour un futur professionnel, mais il rattrape le temps perdu avec une efficacit\u00e9 brutale. En 2008, il passe professionnel. Quinze ans plus tard, il affiche un palmar\u00e8s de 19 victoires pour 5 d\u00e9faites, avec un taux de finishs de 58 % et 8 KO \u00e0 son actif.<\/p>\n

De l’huile de Kazakh SSR \u00e0 la ceinture M-1<\/h3>\n

Avant l’UFC, Morozov construit son nom sur le circuit M-1, la grande ligue des combattants de l’ex-URSS et d’Europe de l’Est. Il d\u00e9croche la ceinture des poids coqs M-1 Global le 28 juin 2019 et la d\u00e9fend une fois. Titr\u00e9 Master of Sports en Pancrace, il arrive dans l’octogone avec un bagage de 16-3 \u2014 un bilan solide, construit combat apr\u00e8s combat dans des promotions exigeantes. Pas de rampe de lancement facile, pas de cursus format\u00e9.<\/p>\n

UFC : deux pas en avant, un recul, deux pas en avant<\/h3>\n

Son bapt\u00eame de l’octogone, le 20 janvier 2021, tombe mal : il fait face \u00e0 Umar Nurmagomedov, l’un des prospects les plus redout\u00e9s de la division. Il perd par soumission au deuxi\u00e8me round. Pas de quoi le d\u00e9courager. En juillet 2021, il prend la d\u00e9cision face \u00e0 Khalid Taha et s’installe dans le top du bantamweight UFC.<\/p>\n

UFC 271, f\u00e9vrier 2022 : il domine la premi\u00e8re reprise contre Douglas Silva de Andrade, puis se fait \u00e9touffer par un rear-naked choke au deuxi\u00e8me. Le combat est si spectaculaire qu’il remporte le bonus Fight of the Night malgr\u00e9 la d\u00e9faite. En juin 2022, il rebondit avec une d\u00e9cision sur Raulian Paiva, puis referme l’ann\u00e9e en beaut\u00e9 avec une victoire aux points sur Journey Newson le 17 d\u00e9cembre 2022. Bilan UFC final : 3-2.<\/p>\n

Style : striker premier, grappleur capable<\/h3>\n

Morozov frappe avec pr\u00e9cision (43 % d’exactitude en striking) et dispose d’une vraie d\u00e9fense au sol (68 % de d\u00e9fense aux takedowns). American Top Team lui a fourni une base compl\u00e8te, mais c’est debout qu’il est le plus dangereux : 8 victoires par KO sur 19, dont 6 finishs d\u00e8s le premier round. Son reach de 67 pouces pour un gabarit de 5’5″ lui donne un avantage en distance que peu de coqs peuvent neutraliser.<\/p>\n

Retraite annonc\u00e9e en 2023<\/h3>\n

En mars 2023, Morozov annonce sa retraite sportive. Il tire le rideau apr\u00e8s 15 ans de carri\u00e8re, un titre M-1, et cinq combats UFC dont plusieurs m\u00e9morables. Converti \u00e0 l’islam en d\u00e9cembre 2021, il avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 amorc\u00e9 une transition personnelle profonde dans les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa carri\u00e8re. \u00c0 33 ans, il part la t\u00eate haute.<\/p>\n
