Chas \u00ab\u00a0The Scrapper\u00a0\u00bb Skelly \u2014 l’homme aux 19 secondes<\/h2>\n

Le 17 septembre 2016, \u00e0 Hidalgo (Texas), Chas Skelly entre dans l’octogone \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 94 et r\u00e8gle son affaire \u00e0 Maximo Blanco en 19 secondes chrono, d’arce choke. Record de l’UFC en poids plume : la soumission la plus rapide de l’histoire de la division. Ce soir-l\u00e0, le sobriquet \u00ab\u00a0The Scrapper\u00a0\u00bb prend tout son sens \u2014 pas le genre \u00e0 faire durer.<\/p>\n

De la lutte texane \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 11 mai 1985 \u00e0 Bedford, Texas, Skelly commence \u00e0 lutter \u00e0 cinq ans. Quatre ans de lettres \u00e0 l’Azle High School, un titre d’\u00c9tat en 2003, puis des honneurs All-American \u00e0 l’Oklahoma City University \u2014 la base technique est l\u00e0 avant m\u00eame le premier gant MMA. Il rejoint ensuite Team Takedown, bas\u00e9 \u00e0 Keller (Texas), et fait ses d\u00e9buts pro en 2009.<\/p>\n

Il encha\u00eene onze victoires cons\u00e9cutives avant de frapper \u00e0 la porte de l’UFC, dont une majorit\u00e9 par soumission. C’est en passant en revue ses combats r\u00e9gionaux qu’on comprend vite pourquoi le surnom colle : Skelly est un lutteur \u00e9lite qui ne reste jamais debout plus longtemps que n\u00e9cessaire.<\/p>\n

La carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Son premier passage \u00e0 l’octogone UFC en avril 2014 se conclut par une d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Mirsad Bektic \u2014 un nom qui fera parler de lui par la suite. Skelly rebondit imm\u00e9diatement : en septembre 2014, il signe deux victoires en treize jours, \u00e9tablissant le record de l’\u00e8re moderne UFC pour le d\u00e9lai le plus court entre deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives dans l’organisation.<\/p>\n

La campagne \u00e0 l’UFC oscille entre des soir\u00e9es \u00e9clairs et des d\u00e9faites frustrantes. En mars 2016, il s’incline aux points face \u00e0 Darren Elkins, avant de r\u00e9pondre six mois plus tard avec ce guillotine\/d’arce choke express contre Blanco \u2014 bonus Performance de la nuit au passage. Une perte s\u00e8che contre Jason Knight en mai 2017 (ground and pound, round 1) relance les doutes, mais Skelly continue. Il bat Chris Gruetzemacher par rear naked choke en f\u00e9vrier 2017, Jordan Griffin aux points en septembre 2019.<\/p>\n

Son dernier combat professionnel, le 19 f\u00e9vrier 2022, le voit terminer sur une note positive : TKO sur Mark Striegl au round 2 (genou + marteaux, 2:01). Il annonce sa retraite dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Le style, en deux mots<\/h3>\n

Skelly n’est pas du genre \u00e0 chercher la belle. Lutteur de haut niveau converti au grappling MMA, son taux de finishes tourne autour de 74 % \u2014 10 soumissions et 4 KO\/TKO sur 19 victoires. Il n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis au cours de sa carri\u00e8re, ce qui en dit long sur sa solidit\u00e9 d\u00e9fensive au sol. Ses quatre soumissions \u00e0 l’UFC lui valent la co-deuxi\u00e8me place dans les annales de la division poids plume.<\/p>\n

Bilan et retraite<\/h3>\n

Bilan final : 19 victoires, 3 d\u00e9faites, 1 no-contest, 8-3 \u00e0 l’UFC. Retrait\u00e9 depuis f\u00e9vrier 2022 \u00e0 36 ans, \u00ab\u00a0The Scrapper\u00a0\u00bb laisse derri\u00e8re lui quelques records que les livres de stats garderont un bon moment \u2014 \u00e0 commencer par ces 19 secondes qui ont fig\u00e9 Blanco dans l’inconscience.<\/p>\n
