Chad \u00ab\u00a0The Monster\u00a0\u00bb Anheliger \u2014 le m\u00e9canicien de Calgary qui a mis dix ans \u00e0 d\u00e9crocher son contrat UFC<\/h2>\n

Un parcours qui aurait pu s’arr\u00eater en 2014<\/h3>\n

Chad Anheliger a d\u00e9but\u00e9 en MMA en d\u00e9cembre 2010, et les d\u00e9buts ont \u00e9t\u00e9 durs : deux victoires pour cinq d\u00e9faites, dont trois pertes cons\u00e9cutives qui auraient convaincu beaucoup d’autres de raccrocher. Le Canadien de Consort, Alberta, a lui pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 tout reprendre \u00e0 z\u00e9ro. Changement de gym, cap sur Champion’s Creed Martial Arts \u00e0 Calgary sous la direction de Brian Bird, et retour \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition en 2016 avec une autre approche.<\/p>\n

Ce qui a suivi ressemble \u00e0 une campagne de reconqu\u00eate m\u00e9thodique. Huit victoires en huit sorties dans les promotions canadiennes \u2014 Havoc FC, Hard Knocks Fighting, Rise FC \u2014 dont sept finishes (quatre TKO, trois soumissions). Il r\u00e9cup\u00e8re les ceintures Rise FC en poids coq ET en poids mouche. En septembre 2021, il d\u00e9barque en grand outsider (5 contre 1) sur le plateau du Contender Series de Dana White contre Muin Gafurov, alors cr\u00e9dit\u00e9 d’un record de 17-4. D\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e pour Anheliger. Dana White, convaincu, lui signe un contrat sur-le-champ.<\/p>\n

Un style construit sur le travail, pas sur le talent brut<\/h3>\n

Ceinture noire en jiu-jitsu, Anheliger est un combattant complet qui finit ses adversaires de plusieurs fa\u00e7ons : 54 % de ses victoires sont venues par KO ou TKO, trois autres par soumission (dont plusieurs guillotines). Son surnom, \u00ab\u00a0The Monster\u00a0\u00bb, il l’a revendiqu\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame : \u00ab\u00a0Je suis un monstre de boulot, de cardio et de puissance.\u00a0\u00bb Ce n’est pas du marketing \u2014 c’est le mec qui s’entra\u00eene le soir apr\u00e8s ses journ\u00e9es \u00e0 g\u00e9rer l’atelier bateaux d’un Bass Pro Shops. Il enseigne aussi \u00e0 Champion’s Creed en dehors de ses propres sessions.<\/p>\n

Dans l’Octogone<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts UFC, le 19 f\u00e9vrier 2022 \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 48, le voient stopper Jesse Strader par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round (3:33). Sept mois plus tard, \u00e0 l’UFC 279 le 10 septembre 2022, il affronte Alatengheili et s’incline aux points sur d\u00e9cision unanime apr\u00e8s trois rounds serr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

En novembre 2023, face \u00e0 Jose Johnson (UFC Fight Night, 18 novembre), il passe la soir\u00e9e \u00e0 tenir le rythme avant de se faire soumettre par rear naked choke \u00e0 4:49 du troisi\u00e8me round, \u00e0 onze secondes de la fin du combat. Coup dur. Il r\u00e9pond le 16 mars 2024 en dominant Charalampos Grigoriou sur d\u00e9cision unanime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Sa derni\u00e8re sortie \u00e0 ce jour : une d\u00e9faite aux points contre Cody Gibson, le 2 novembre 2024 \u00e0 Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Record total : 13-8-0. \u00c0 38 ans, Anheliger reste un combattant UFC actif dans la division des poids coq (135 lbs). Son palmar\u00e8s UFC affiche 3 victoires pour 4 d\u00e9faites \u2014 des combats souvent disput\u00e9s jusqu’au bout, sans abandon. Le gars de Consort qui bricolait des moteurs de bateaux n’a pas fini de se battre.<\/p>\n
