C&rsquo;est en tombant sur un combat de kickboxing \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9, en 8e ann\u00e9e de coll\u00e8ge, qu&rsquo;elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que c&rsquo;\u00e9tait \u00e7a, sa voie. Derri\u00e8re ce surnom de \u00ab\u00a0Fire Fist\u00a0\u00bb, il y a une combattante qui cumule le hapkido (3e dan), la ceinture marron de BJJ et le kung fu \u2014 un profil atypique, clairement pas venue d&rsquo;une seule discipline.<\/p>\n<h3>La mont\u00e9e en puissance au Japon<\/h3>\n<p>Avant l&rsquo;UFC, Kim a fait ses armes en Asie, principalement au Japon. Elle y encha\u00eene les victoires : championne Gladiator en bantamweight le 1er mars 2015 (victoire sur Miki Miyauchi), puis championne Jewels dans la m\u00eame cat\u00e9gorie le 29 ao\u00fbt 2015 face \u00e0 Takayo Hashi. Six victoires cons\u00e9cutives avant de passer l&rsquo;Atlantique \u2014 une s\u00e9quence qui lui ouvre les portes de l&rsquo;octogone.<\/p>\n<h3>Le parcours UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts UFC le 17 juin 2017 \u00e0 Singapour face \u00e0 la Tch\u00e8que Lucie Pudilov\u00e1 se soldent par une d\u00e9faite aux points. Kim encaisse, s&rsquo;adapte, et signe deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives : Justine Kish (janvier 2018, d\u00e9cision divis\u00e9e), puis Melinda F\u00e1bi\u00e1n (juin 2018 \u00e0 Singapour). La suite est plus compliqu\u00e9e \u2014 une d\u00e9faite contre Antonina Shevchenko en novembre 2018 \u00e0 Las Vegas marque le d\u00e9but d&rsquo;une travers\u00e9e difficile.<\/p>\n<p>Son seul KO \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC reste un moment fort : le 6 octobre 2019 \u00e0 Melbourne, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 243, elle envoie Nadia Kassem au sol par KO. Depuis, five d\u00e9faites de rang, toutes aux points \u2014 dont deux \u00ab\u00a0Fight of the Night\u00a0\u00bb r\u00e9compens\u00e9es par la promotion, contre Molly McCann (septembre 2021) et Priscila Cachoeira (f\u00e9vrier 2022). Son dernier combat connu date du 13 mai 2023 : une d\u00e9faite en d\u00e9cision technique divis\u00e9e contre Mandy B\u00f6hm \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC on ABC 4 \u00e0 Charlotte.<\/p>\n<h3>Le profil<\/h3>\n<p>Kim combat en poids mouche (56,7 kg) avec une envergure de 183 cm \u2014 un atout physique r\u00e9el. Son style polyvalent, h\u00e9rit\u00e9 de disciplines multiples, lui a permis de finir 5 adversaires sur ses 9 victoires (2 KO, 3 soumissions). Elle n&rsquo;a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 mise KO dans l&rsquo;octogone, toutes ses d\u00e9faites UFC \u00e9tant venues aux points. Record global au moment de son d\u00e9part de la promotion : 9 victoires, 7 d\u00e9faites, 2 nuls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ji_Yeon_Kim_(fighter)\">Wikipedia EN<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/ji-yeon-kim\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/ji-fire-fist-yeon-kim\">Verdict MMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ji Yeon Kim \u00ab\u00a0Fire Fist\u00a0\u00bb, combattante MMA sud-cor\u00e9enne.
