N\u00e9 le 3 novembre 1990 \u00e0 Krasnoyarsk, en Russie, l&rsquo;Arm\u00e9nien s&rsquo;est r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 sur les rings de Muay Thai bien avant de poser le pied dans l&rsquo;octogone : or mondial IFMA en 2015, argent en 2016, plusieurs podiums aux championnats de Russie entre 2014 et 2017. Un palmar\u00e8s de frappeur pur qui explique tout ce qui vient ensuite.<\/p>\n<h3>De Krasnoyarsk \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Petrosyan commence le Muay Thai \u00e0 20 ans. Il ne passe au MMA qu&rsquo;\u00e0 28 ans, en 2018 \u2014 une transition tardive, mais d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e. Ses premiers combats pros se d\u00e9roulent dans les circuits russes et caucasiens : WCSA, puis AMC Fight Nights, o\u00f9 il d\u00e9croche le titre poids mi-lourds. En octobre 2021, il frappe un grand coup sur la Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series : KO d\u00e8s le premier round contre le Bulgare Kaloyan Kolev en 4 minutes 27. R\u00e9sultat : contrat UFC sign\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>UFC : des d\u00e9buts prometteurs, une spirale difficile<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 26 f\u00e9vrier 2022 donne le ton. Face \u00e0 Gregory Rodrigues \u2014 un frappeur dangereux et bien class\u00e9 \u2014 Petrosyan tient le choc et s&rsquo;impose aux points sur trois rounds. Le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Superman\u00a0\u00bb commence \u00e0 circuler pour de bonnes raisons. En octobre 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 280 \u00e0 Abu Dhabi, il r\u00e9cidive en dominant AJ Dobson aux d\u00e9cisions. Juin 2023, troisi\u00e8me victoire : Christian Leroy Duncan ne trouve pas la solution en trois rounds non plus.<\/p>\n<p>Mais la machine se grippe. Entre ses victoires, une d\u00e9faite aux points contre Caio Borralho en juillet 2022 montre les limites de son jeu au sol. Puis c&rsquo;est l&rsquo;encha\u00eenement : soumission par \u00e9tranglement bras-t\u00eate face \u00e0 Rodolfo Vieira en f\u00e9vrier 2024, KO au deuxi\u00e8me round par Shara Magomedov en octobre 2024, et enfin une armbar de Brunno Ferreira \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 313 le 8 mars 2025 \u2014 un combat marqu\u00e9 par plusieurs fautes de Petrosyan qui \u00e9copera d&rsquo;une d\u00e9duction de point. Trois d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives. L&rsquo;UFC ne renouvelle pas le contrat.<\/p>\n<h3>Style et identit\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>Petrosyan est avant tout un frappeur. Ses mains et ses coudes taill\u00e9s par des ann\u00e9es de Muay Thai \u00e9lite lui donnent un standing game de qualit\u00e9 UFC \u2014 ce n&rsquo;est pas rien. Grand pour la division (1,91 m), il utilise sa port\u00e9e, varie les angles, et cherche le KO. Son talon d&rsquo;Achille est clairement le sol : les trois d\u00e9faites les plus douloureuses de sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC sont toutes venues de la soumission ou du clinch impos\u00e9 par des lutteurs. Un profil de striker pur dans une division o\u00f9 presque tout le monde sait prendre le dos.<\/p>\n<h3>Statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Coup\u00e9 du roster UFC au printemps 2025 apr\u00e8s sa troisi\u00e8me d\u00e9faite cons\u00e9cutive \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 313, Petrosyan est libre de tout contrat \u00e0 la mi-2026. \u00c0 35 ans, son avenir en MMA est ouvert : son niveau de frappe reste largement exploitable dans d&rsquo;autres organisations, et un retour en Muay Thai ou en kickboxing n&rsquo;est pas \u00e0 exclure pour un athl\u00e8te dont les origines sportives sont l\u00e0.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Armen_Petrosyan_(fighter)\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/armen-petrosyan\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2025\/03\/08\/ufc-313-brunno-ferreira-armbar-armen-petrosyan\/\">Cage Side Press \u2013 UFC 313<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armen \u00ab\u00a0Superman\u00a0\u00bb Petrosyan : champion du monde IFMA Muay Thai 2015, frappeur arm\u00e9nien pass\u00e9 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC en 2022 avec un record de 3-4 dans l&rsquo;octogone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102521,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69977],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104047","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-middleweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
