N\u00e9 le 21 f\u00e9vrier 1988 \u00e0 Tr\u00eas Rios, dans l&rsquo;\u00c9tat de Rio de Janeiro, il a grandi loin des salles de sport et ne commence \u00e0 s&rsquo;entra\u00eener en Muay Thai qu&rsquo;\u00e0 22 ans. Sa conversion au MMA est tardive, mais elle est radicale.<\/p>\n<h3>Des circuits br\u00e9siliens \u00e0 la grande sc\u00e8ne<\/h3>\n<p>Il fait ses d\u00e9buts professionnels en d\u00e9cembre 2011, remporte son premier combat par KO, et construit en quatre ans un bilan de 11 victoires, 2 d\u00e9faites et 1 match nul dans les promotions r\u00e9gionales br\u00e9siliennes. L&rsquo;UFC le signe en 2015. Sa toute premi\u00e8re sortie dans l&rsquo;octogone, le 21 mars 2015, se fait en remplacement au pied lev\u00e9 contre un certain Gilbert Burns \u2014 qu&rsquo;il a failli battre avant de craquer par soumission au troisi\u00e8me round. Le ton est donn\u00e9 : Oliveira ne reculera jamais, m\u00eame quand \u00e7a tourne mal.<\/p>\n<h3>Sept ans d&rsquo;octogone, jamais ennuyeux<\/h3>\n<p>Sur ses 22 combats \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC (2015-2022), il r\u00e9colte cinq bonus. En novembre 2015, il met KO Piotr Hallmann au troisi\u00e8me round \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 77 et empoche son premier \u00ab\u00a0Performance of the Night\u00a0\u00bb. En f\u00e9vrier 2016, il s&rsquo;arrache face \u00e0 Donald Cerrone dans un combat de dingue qui leur vaut \u00e0 tous les deux le \u00ab\u00a0Fight of the Night\u00a0\u00bb. Puis en d\u00e9cembre 2017, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 218, il perd contre Yancy Medeiros dans un \u00e9change de coups aussi fou que court \u2014 les deux l\u00e2chent tout pendant trois rounds, et le combat est sacr\u00e9 Fight of the Year par plusieurs m\u00e9dias. Il perd, mais tout le monde s&rsquo;en souvient.<\/p>\n<p>Ses meilleures soir\u00e9es : un guillotine qui \u00e9trangle Carlos Condit en avril 2018 (UFC on Fox 29, deuxi\u00e8me round), un uppercut droit qui envoie Ryan LaFlare au tapis en juillet 2017 (UFC on Fox 25). Son dernier combat UFC, le 6 mars 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 272, il s&rsquo;offre Kevin Holland par KO au deuxi\u00e8me round \u2014 l&rsquo;une de ses performances les plus propres. L&rsquo;UFC ne le renouvelle pas pour autant, apr\u00e8s quatre d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives avant Holland.<\/p>\n<h3>Style et profil<\/h3>\n<p>Oliveira vient du Muay Thai et \u00e7a se voit : il frappe avec des angles inhabituels, cherche le contact permanent et ne g\u00e8re pas un combat \u2014 il l&rsquo;impose. Avec 51 % de pr\u00e9cision frappe et une adresse au sol suffisante pour coincer Condit, il est le type de gars qui rend les soir\u00e9es UFC impr\u00e9visibles. Son surnom \u00ab\u00a0Cowboy\u00a0\u00bb n&rsquo;est pas marketing : il l&rsquo;a gagn\u00e9 sur les ar\u00e8nes de rod\u00e9o br\u00e9siliennes avant m\u00eame de savoir ce qu&rsquo;\u00e9tait un armlock.<\/p>\n<h3>Depuis 2022<\/h3>\n<p>Lib\u00e9r\u00e9 par l&rsquo;UFC en avril 2022, il continue de combattre dans des promotions d&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique du Sud et d&rsquo;Europe, et s&rsquo;essaie aussi au bare-knuckle boxing. Son bilan total tourne autour de 26 victoires, 19 d\u00e9faites et 1 match nul \u2014 le compte d&rsquo;un guerrier qui n&rsquo;a jamais fait le tri entre les adversaires.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alex_Oliveira\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/alex-oliveira\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/alex-cowboy-oliveira\">VerdictMMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex \u00ab\u00a0Cowboy\u00a0\u00bb Oliveira, combattant br\u00e9silien mi-welter, ex-UFC (2015-2022) : 5 bonus, Fight of the Year 2017, KO de Condit et Holland au compteur.
