Abdul Razak Alhassan \u2014 \u00ab\u00a0Judo Thunder\u00a0\u00bb, l’homme aux 12 KO<\/h2>\n

Douze victoires professionnelles, douze KO. Aucun adversaire n’est jamais all\u00e9 au bout du temps r\u00e9glementaire avec Abdul Razak Alhassan \u2014 et onze d’entre eux n’ont m\u00eame pas surv\u00e9cu au premier round. N\u00e9 le 11 ao\u00fbt 1985 \u00e0 Accra au Ghana, \u00ab\u00a0Judo Thunder\u00a0\u00bb a grandi avec un tatami sous les pieds avant de s’imposer comme l’un des finisseurs les plus brutaux de la division welterweight de l’UFC.<\/p>\n

Du judogi \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Alhassan pratique le judo depuis l’enfance, vingt-deux ans de travail acharn\u00e9 qui lui valent la ceinture noire et une carri\u00e8re en comp\u00e9tition internationale. C’est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment le judo qui l’am\u00e8ne aux \u00c9tats-Unis dans ses vingt ans, quand il participe \u00e0 des championnats qui le conduisent jusqu’au Colorado. Il s’installe \u00e0 Denver, encha\u00eene diff\u00e9rents boulots \u2014 notamment agent Delta Airlines et videur \u2014 avant de se tourner vers le MMA professionnel en 2013. Il ajoute ensuite une ceinture violette en JJB et un vrai Muay Tha\u00ef \u00e0 son arsenal, mais le surnom reste : Judo Thunder.<\/p>\n

Ses six premiers combats pro entre 2013 et 2016 se r\u00e8glent tous au TKO ou KO, tous au premier round, en moins de 1 minute 30. Cette carte de visite suffit \u00e0 l’UFC pour le signer.<\/p>\n

Une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l’UFC : le finisseur qui joue avec le feu<\/h3>\n

Son d\u00e9buts dans la cage \u00e0 l’UFC le 19 novembre 2016 contre Charlie Ward confirment la tendance : KO au premier round en 53 secondes. Les performances de nuit bonus deviennent presque routini\u00e8res \u2014 il en d\u00e9crochera trois au total. Son coup de gr\u00e2ce reste dat\u00e9 du 28 ao\u00fbt 2021 : face \u00e0 Alessio Di Chirico, un head kick \u00e0 17 secondes du premier round qui pulv\u00e9rise le record de la frappe t\u00eate la plus rapide de l’histoire de l’UFC (l’ancienne marque \u00e9tait \u00e0 25 secondes, d\u00e9tenue par Nikita Krylov). Le genre de KO qu’on repasse en boucle.<\/p>\n

Mais \u00ab\u00a0Judo Thunder\u00a0\u00bb n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 un combattant r\u00e9gulier au sens o\u00f9 la coh\u00e9rence n’est pas son fort. \u00c0 chaque fois qu’il acc\u00e9l\u00e8re \u2014 KO de Sabah Homasi en d\u00e9cembre 2017, puis KO du m\u00eame Homasi en janvier 2018, KO de Niko Price en septembre 2018, KO de Claudio Ribeiro en janvier 2023 \u2014 il encha\u00eene aussi des d\u00e9faites aux points contre des adversaires qui savent tenir la distance (Omari Akhmedov en mai 2017, Mounir Lazzez en juillet 2020, Jacob Malkoun en avril 2021, Joaquin Buckley en f\u00e9vrier 2022). Quand le combat dure, il perd. Quand il finit, c’est souvent spectaculaire.<\/p>\n

Son dernier passage \u00e0 l’UFC s’ach\u00e8ve sur une note difficile : une d\u00e9faite par KO face \u00e0 C\u00e9sar Almeida le 11 janvier 2025 \u00e0 UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Ribas 2, et un no-contest en juillet 2024 contre Cody Brundage pour des coudes ill\u00e9gaux. Le 25 mars 2025, l’UFC l’\u00e9carte de son roster \u00e0 39 ans.<\/p>\n

Bilan<\/h3>\n

Record officiel : 12 victoires (toutes par KO), 7 d\u00e9faites, 1 no-contest. Quatorze combats \u00e0 l’UFC, 6 victoires en promotion. Il s’entra\u00eene \u00e0 Team Elevation (Denver), aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Justin Gaethje, Neil Magny ou Curtis Blaydes. P\u00e8re de trois enfants, il a cit\u00e9 sa famille comme premi\u00e8re motivation dans plusieurs interviews. Sa trajectoire MMA reste celle d’un athl\u00e8te aux capacit\u00e9s de finisher hors norme \u2014 et dont la marge d’erreur face aux techniciens de haut niveau a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9troite.<\/p>\n
