Deux des trois juges le donnaient devant apr\u00e8s deux rounds. Personne n&rsquo;avait pouss\u00e9 le G\u00e9orgien aussi loin. C&rsquo;est dire le niveau du combattant : \u00e0 30 ans, le poids coq de l&rsquo;AKA reste l&rsquo;un des hommes les plus difficiles \u00e0 battre de sa cat\u00e9gorie, malgr\u00e9 l&rsquo;unique d\u00e9faite qui figure d\u00e9sormais \u00e0 son palmar\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<h3>Du sambo de combat \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>N\u00e9 le 3 janvier 1996 \u00e0 Kizilyurt, au Daghestan, Umar grandit dans le moule qu&rsquo;on conna\u00eet \u00e0 la r\u00e9gion : lutte libre t\u00f4t, puis sambo de combat, dont il d\u00e9croche le titre de champion du monde en 2015. Oui, c&rsquo;est le cousin de Khabib Nurmagomedov \u2014 il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene d&rsquo;ailleurs avec lui et avec Javier Mendez \u00e0 l&rsquo;American Kickboxing Academy, en Californie. Mais r\u00e9duire Umar \u00e0 ce lien serait passer \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l&rsquo;essentiel : son MMA est plus complet, plus liant sur les jambes, et il frappe nettement mieux que son a\u00een\u00e9 ne le faisait \u00e0 ses d\u00e9buts.<\/p>\n<h3>Un style daghestanais, version moderne<\/h3>\n<p>La base reste la lutte et le contr\u00f4le au sol \u2014 7 de ses soumissions en t\u00e9moignent, souvent des \u00e9tranglements arri\u00e8re. Mais Umar passe beaucoup de temps debout, jab pr\u00e9cis, distance bien g\u00e9r\u00e9e, avec une d\u00e9fense \u00e0 la lutte de tr\u00e8s haut niveau. Garde orthodox, 1,73 m pour 1,75 m d&rsquo;allonge : pas un physique hors normes chez les coqs, ce qui rend sa r\u00e9ussite d&rsquo;autant plus parlante. Il construit ses victoires sur le rythme et la justesse, pas sur l&rsquo;explosivit\u00e9 brute.<\/p>\n<h3>La marche en avant \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Il d\u00e9bute dans l&rsquo;organisation le 20 janvier 2021 face \u00e0 Sergey Morozov, qu&rsquo;il finit par soumission technique. Suivent Brian Kelleher (soumission au 1er round, mars 2022), Nate Maness (d\u00e9cision, juin 2022), puis un KO sec sur Raoni Barcelos en janvier 2023. Le tournant arrive le 3 ao\u00fbt 2024 : il bat Cory Sandhagen, un top du classement, sur cinq rounds aux points. C&rsquo;est cette victoire qui lui ouvre la porte du combat de titre, encore invaincu \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n<h3>La seule d\u00e9faite, puis le rebond<\/h3>\n<p>Face \u00e0 Dvalishvili, c&rsquo;est le cardio et la pression infernale du G\u00e9orgien qui ont eu raison de lui dans la seconde moiti\u00e9 du combat : d\u00e9cision unanime pour le champion, premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite de la carri\u00e8re d&rsquo;Umar. Pas de quoi l&rsquo;enterrer. Le 24 janvier 2026 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 324, \u00e0 Las Vegas, il domine l&rsquo;ancien champion poids mouche Deiveson Figueiredo de bout en bout (30-27 sur les trois cartes), avec ses amen\u00e9es au sol comme arme principale. Class\u00e9 tout en haut de la cat\u00e9gorie, il affiche d\u00e9sormais 20 victoires pour 1 d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Umar_Nurmagomedov\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/umar-nurmagomedov\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Umar Nurmagomedov, poids coq daghestanais de l&rsquo;AKA et cousin de Khabib : son lutte-sambo, sa mont\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, le combat de titre face \u00e0 Merab Dvalishvili et son rebond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102728,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69974],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104092","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-bantamweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
