Adolescent en surpoids, il pousse la porte d&rsquo;une salle de Muay Thai pour perdre des kilos \u2014 mais c&rsquo;est en regardant Anderson Silva et Jon Jones \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC qu&rsquo;il comprend ce qu&rsquo;il veut faire de sa vie. Jamais d&rsquo;autre boulot, jamais de plan B : \u00e0 17 ans, il monte sur le tatami en amateur, gagne ses cinq combats, et signe son premier contrat professionnel \u00e0 18 ans. Le 9 ao\u00fbt 2014, il soumet Diego Pedroso \u00e0 Curitiba Fight Pro 2. La carri\u00e8re est lanc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Un BJJ de haut niveau, un parcours en dents de scie<\/h3>\n<p>Ceinture noire en jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien, Turman construit sa r\u00e9putation sur les circuits r\u00e9gionaux br\u00e9siliens (Imortal FC, CFP, XFC International) avant de d\u00e9barquer \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC en juillet 2019. Son premier passage dans l&rsquo;Octogone, face \u00e0 Karl Roberson, se conclut sur une d\u00e9faite en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e \u2014 frustrant mais pas r\u00e9dhibitoire. La suite est plus chaotique : un KO encaiss\u00e9 en un round face \u00e0 Andrew Sanchez en ao\u00fbt 2020, un autre contre Bruno Silva en juin 2021. Turman sait finir les combats, mais son menton et sa gestion des distances ont leurs limites.<\/p>\n<p>Le tournant vient le 26 f\u00e9vrier 2022. Face \u00e0 Misha Cirkunov, le Br\u00e9silien place une soumission par armbar au deuxi\u00e8me round qui lui vaut le bonus Performance of the Night. C&rsquo;est le Turman \u00e0 son meilleur : patient, technique, opportuniste. Malheureusement, la suite ne confirme pas l&rsquo;\u00e9lan \u2014 d\u00e9faite aux points contre Andre Petroski \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 281 (novembre 2022), puis deux revers cons\u00e9cutifs en 2023 : d\u00e9cision unanime perdue face \u00e0 Randy Brown (24 juin, Jacksonville), et soumission encaiss\u00e9e contre Jared Gooden par rear-naked choke au deuxi\u00e8me round (2 d\u00e9cembre, Austin). Bilan UFC : environ 3 victoires pour 6 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n<h3>Le d\u00e9fi Dulatov en vue<\/h3>\n<p>Depuis 2021, Turman s&rsquo;entra\u00eene \u00e0 la Teixeira MMA &amp; Fitness dans le Connecticut, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s d&rsquo;une \u00e9quipe qui a fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 des champions. \u00c0 presque 30 ans, avec 18 victoires au compteur dont 8 par soumission et 4 par KO, il reste un finisseur redoutable d\u00e8s que le combat arrive au sol. Son prochain rendez-vous est planifi\u00e9 pour le 25 juillet 2026, \u00e0 l&rsquo;Etihad Arena d&rsquo;Abu Dhabi, face \u00e0 Islam Dulatov \u2014 un prospect kazakh invaincu (12-0) connu pour ses KO viraux. Une affiche difficile sur le papier, mais le genre de combat o\u00f9 \u00ab\u00a0The Prodigy\u00a0\u00bb peut retourner le script si son BJJ entre en jeu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wellington_Turman\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/wellington-turman\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/wellington-the-prodigy-turman\/\">The AllStar<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wellington Turman, ceinture noire BJJ br\u00e9silien surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0The Prodigy\u00a0\u00bb, 18-8 en MMA dont 8 soumissions.
