Un d\u00e9tail qui dit beaucoup sur le personnage : Bra\u0219ov, Roumanie, fiert\u00e9 nationale, identit\u00e9 ancr\u00e9e. N\u00e9 le 4 septembre 1994, ce mi-lourd a construit sa carri\u00e8re sur une base de lutte s\u00e9rieuse avant de se tailler un bilan respectable en six combats \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone.<\/p>\n<h3>De la lutte libre \u00e0 la cage<\/h3>\n<p>Negumereanu chausse ses premi\u00e8res chaussures de lutte \u00e0 15 ans. La progression est rapide et les r\u00e9sultats suivent : champion de Roumanie de lutte libre (m\u00e9daille d&rsquo;or au 97 kg aux Championnats seniors 2018, argent au 125 kg en 2017) et champion national de Kempo. C&rsquo;est cette double base qui structure son MMA \u2014 un lutteur avec des finitions, pas juste un presseur de grillage.<\/p>\n<p>Il d\u00e9bute en MMA professionnel le 10 octobre 2016 contre Alexandru Gavrila, victoire par TKO. La mont\u00e9e en puissance sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale est constante : le 19 novembre 2018, il s&#8217;empare de la ceinture RXF mi-lourds en soumettant Dan Konecke via Brabo choke \u00e0 RXF 32. Onze victoires au compteur avant de taper \u00e0 la porte de la plus grande organisation mondiale.<\/p>\n<h3>Six combats \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : 4 victoires, 2 d\u00e9faites<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 16 mars 2019 face \u00e0 Saparbek Safarov tournent court \u2014 d\u00e9cision unanime d\u00e9favorable. Mais Negumereanu ne d\u00e9croche pas : il s&rsquo;impose face \u00e0 Aleksa Camur par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e le 19 juin 2021, puis encha\u00eene avec un TKO exp\u00e9ditif contre Ike Villanueva, stopp\u00e9 en seulement 1:18 au premier round le 23 octobre 2021. Kennedy Nzechukwu tombe \u00e0 son tour par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e le 6 mars 2022. Le point culminant de sa carri\u00e8re UFC arrive le 31 juillet 2022 \u00e0 UFC 277 : il met Ihor Potieria \u00e0 terre par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round (3:33), sa victoire la plus propre \u00e0 ce niveau.<\/p>\n<p>Le retour de b\u00e2ton est brutal. Quatre mois plus tard, \u00e0 UFC 281 le 13 novembre 2022, Carlos Ulberg le cl\u00f4t proprement par KO au premier round en 3:44. Depuis, Negumereanu n&rsquo;a plus combattu \u2014 Tapology le classe inactif, et l&rsquo;UFC ne l&rsquo;a plus r\u00e9inscrit au programme.<\/p>\n<h3>Ce qu&rsquo;il y a \u00e0 retenir<\/h3>\n<p>Un bilan UFC de 4 victoires et 2 d\u00e9faites sur un plateau o\u00f9 chaque combat co\u00fbte cher, c&rsquo;est honorable. Negumereanu est un lutteur capable de finir (8 KO\/TKO sur 13 victoires au total), mais ses deux revers en cage ont montr\u00e9 une vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 debout face aux frappeurs de haut niveau \u2014 Safarov aux points, Ulberg d&rsquo;un seul coup. \u00c0 31 ans aujourd&rsquo;hui, son statut reste flou. Un retour est techniquement possible, mais aucune information fiable ne circule \u00e0 ce sujet depuis fin 2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nicolae_Negumereanu\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/nicolae-negumereanu\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicolae \u00ab\u00a0Nicu\u00a0\u00bb Negumereanu, mi-lourd roumain de Bra\u0219ov : champion de lutte nationale, ceinture RXF 2018, record UFC 4-2 avant une inactivit\u00e9 depuis fin 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102439,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69983],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104078","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-light-heavyweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
