Stephanie Egger : du tatami \u00e0 l’octogone, une Suissesse taill\u00e9e pour le grappling<\/h2>\n

Des tapis de judo \u00e0 la cage<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9e le 12 ao\u00fbt 1988 \u00e0 Saint-Gall en Suisse, Stephanie Egger a d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 dans les arts martiaux \u00e0 cinq ans, sur un tatami de judo. Pas un hobby d’enfance vite abandonn\u00e9 : elle y deviendra ceinture noire et championne d’Europe U23 en 2010 \u00e0 Sarajevo (cat\u00e9gorie -70 kg), avant de remporter trois fois de suite le titre de championne suisse entre 2011 et 2013 dans la cat\u00e9gorie +63 kg. Ce sont des blessures r\u00e9currentes qui mettent fin \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re judoka en 2013 \u2014 mais pas \u00e0 sa vie de comp\u00e9titrice.<\/p>\n

Elle bifurque vers le grappling no-gi et d\u00e9croche deux m\u00e9dailles d’or aux ADCC European Championships, en 2016 et 2019 dans la cat\u00e9gorie +60 kg. En parall\u00e8le, elle fait ses d\u00e9buts en MMA le 19 septembre 2015, en soumettant Judith Ruis en 1 minute 30 au premier round. Le ton est donn\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Le parcours en cage<\/h3>\n

Avant de rejoindre l’UFC, Egger encha\u00eene des combats en Europe et au Japon. En juillet 2019, elle s’impose aux points contre la Japonaise Reina Miura \u00e0 RIZIN 17. Son bilan pr\u00e9-UFC la pr\u00e9sente comme une finisseuse redoutable : la majorit\u00e9 de ses victoires passent par soumission ou KO, rarement par les cartes des juges.<\/p>\n

Elle d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l’UFC en octobre 2020 face \u00e0 Tracy Cortez \u2014 un premier test difficile qu’elle conc\u00e8de aux points. La suite sera plus convaincante. En f\u00e9vrier 2022, elle bat Jessica-Rose Clark par armbar au premier round et repart avec le bonus Performance of the Night. En septembre 2022, elle soumet Ailin Perez au deuxi\u00e8me round. Deux performances qui illustrent exactement ce qu’elle sait faire : emmener le combat au sol et finir.<\/p>\n

Le bilan UFC reste cependant en dents de scie. Une soumission rapide conc\u00e9d\u00e9e \u00e0 Mayra Bueno Silva en ao\u00fbt 2022 (1 minute 17, round 1), une d\u00e9faite par kneebar face \u00e0 Irina Alekseeva en avril 2023, puis un dernier combat perdu aux points contre Luana Santos en d\u00e9cembre 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 83. L’UFC ne la reconduit pas d\u00e9but 2024.<\/p>\n

Style et identit\u00e9 de combat<\/h3>\n

Egger est avant tout une judoka reconvertie en soumisseuse. Elle cherche le contact rapproch\u00e9, l’emmener au sol d\u00e8s que possible, et l’armbar reste son outil de pr\u00e9dilection. Sa base ADCC lui donne une vraie polyvalence sur les jambes et les \u00e9tranglements. En revanche, les combattantes qui la maintiennent debout ou qui lui imposent un rythme de boxe lui posent des probl\u00e8mes \u2014 Cortez et Santos l’ont montr\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Lib\u00e9r\u00e9e du contrat UFC d\u00e9but 2024, Egger rebondit vers Oktagon MMA, organisation qui monte en Europe, avec un combat programm\u00e9 fin 2025. A 37 ans en 2026, son record se stabilise autour de 8 victoires pour 6 d\u00e9faites. Elle reste une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence du grappling f\u00e9minin en Europe, m\u00eame si le plus haut niveau de l’UFC a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 les limites d’un jeu qui repose presque exclusivement sur la lutte et la soumission.<\/p>\n
