AJ Dobson, le grappler de l’Ohio qui cherche sa place \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

De Brooklyn \u00e0 Powell via l’Octogone<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 18 janvier 1992 \u00e0 Brooklyn, AJ Dobson a grandi dans le New Jersey avant de poser ses affaires \u00e0 Powell, dans l’Ohio. C’est l\u00e0 qu’il d\u00e9couvre le jiu-jitsu bresilien en 2011, \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de dix-neuf ans, et que quelque chose clique. Il rejoint l’\u00e9quipe de lutte du lyc\u00e9e Olentangy Liberty, accumule les heures sur le tapis, et finit par s’entra\u00eener \u00e0 l’Immortal Martial Arts Center \u2014 la salle de Matt Brown \u2014 sous la banni\u00e8re Carlson Gracie Team Ohio. Ceinture violette en BJJ, deux titres amateurs au compteur : son socle est solide avant m\u00eame de toucher au MMA professionnel.<\/p>\n

Six victoires avant l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Dobson fait ses d\u00e9buts pro le 25 juin 2016 en stoppant JT Miller au premier round. Il construit ensuite un bilan de 6-0, en finissant cinq de ses six adversaires \u2014 trois par KO et deux par soumission. Sa technique de pr\u00e9dilection : l’\u00e9tranglement rear naked. En 2021, il d\u00e9croche son billet pour le Dana White’s Contender Series et confirme en soumettant Hashem Arkhagha par rear naked choke \u00e0 4:21 du premier round. Le contrat UFC suit.<\/p>\n

Un bilan UFC contrast\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’Octogone le 12 f\u00e9vrier 2022 \u00e0 l’UFC 271 (Houston) face \u00e0 Jacob Malkoun se terminent par une d\u00e9faite aux points sur trois rounds. La suite ne s’arrange pas : le 22 octobre 2022 \u00e0 l’UFC 280, Armen Petrosyan lui inflige un second revers identique en d\u00e9cision unanime. Deux combats, deux d\u00e9faites aux points \u2014 un sc\u00e9nario qui commen\u00e7ait \u00e0 soulever des questions sur son avenir dans l’organisation.<\/p>\n

Il r\u00e9pond le 12 ao\u00fbt 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night Luque vs. Dos Anjos, en dominant Tafon Nchukwi sur d\u00e9cision unanime pour d\u00e9crocher sa premi\u00e8re victoire en octogone. Mais le 23 mars 2024 \u00e0 Las Vegas, Edmen Shahbazyan le stoppe par KO au premier round (4:33) d’un crochet gauche suivi de frappes au sol. Dobson accusait pourtant le score \u00e0 ce moment du combat, ce qui rend la chute d’autant plus am\u00e8re. Son bilan UFC se stabilise \u00e0 1-3.<\/p>\n

Le profil<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 6’1″ (185 cm) pour une allonge de 76 pouces (193 cm), Dobson dispose d’un gabarit correct pour les poids moyens. Ses stats parlent d’elles-m\u00eames avant l’UFC : 84 % de finish rate, cinq premiers rounds achev\u00e9s avant la sir\u00e8ne. C’est un grappler-finisseur qui sait aussi boxer, mais dont le menton et la r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 sur le long terme restent les points d’interrogation. Record global au 24 mars 2024 : 7 victoires, 3 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n
