Nick \u00ab\u00a0Slick\u00a0\u00bb Aguirre \u2014 le soumissionnaire de l’Illinois qui vise l’Octogone<\/h2>\n

Parcours<\/h3>\n

Nick Aguirre a grandi \u00e0 Berwyn, Illinois, dans la banlieue de Chicago. Sa m\u00e8re croise un g\u00e9rant de salle alors qu’il a \u00e0 peine dix ans \u2014 c’est comme \u00e7a que tout commence. Il d\u00e9marre par la lutte, puis d\u00e9couvre le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien. La route est trac\u00e9e. Il ira jusqu’\u00e0 wrestle \u00e0 McKendree University en Division 2, en d\u00e9crochant au passage un bachelor en justice criminelle. Pendant tout ce temps, il continue \u00e0 bosser dans la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pour financer la comp\u00e9tition. Son p\u00e8re lui a coll\u00e9 le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Slick\u00a0\u00bb sans trop savoir pourquoi, et \u00e7a a tenu.<\/p>\n

Il d\u00e9bute en amateur avec un 6-0 sans bavure et deux ceintures remport\u00e9es, puis passe pro en 2021 sous la banni\u00e8re du VFS Academy \u00e0 Oswego. Le d\u00e9part est canon : sept victoires cons\u00e9cutives, dont six finishs au premier round. Il \u00e9touffe Shawn Johnson d\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts en juillet 2021, puis encha\u00eene les soumissions \u2014 D’Arce, triangles, rear naked choke \u2014 avec une r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 qui attire l’attention des recruteurs UFC.<\/p>\n

Le passage \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

L’appel arrive sur court pr\u00e9avis : le 14 janvier 2023, il monte dans l’Octogone pour la premi\u00e8re fois face \u00e0 Dan Argueta lors d’un UFC Fight Night. Manque de temps de pr\u00e9paration, Aguirre s’incline aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime, mais montre qu’il a sa place \u00e0 ce niveau. La deuxi\u00e8me chance arrive le 18 novembre 2023 face \u00e0 Payton Talbott, qui vient de s’imposer \u00e0 la Dana White’s Contender Series. Talbott est une r\u00e9v\u00e9lation de l’\u00e9poque, et il le confirme ce soir-l\u00e0 : il soumet Aguirre via rear naked choke au troisi\u00e8me round \u00e0 0:58. Deux d\u00e9faites, lib\u00e9r\u00e9 par l’UFC.<\/p>\n

Le rebond<\/h3>\n

Aguirre ne dispara\u00eet pas. Il revient sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale avec une mentalit\u00e9 diff\u00e9rente. Juillet 2024, ACL 4 : rear naked choke sur Frank Osborne au premier round. Janvier 2025, Throne MMA 10 : m\u00eame recette en 1 minute 41 sur Timothy Bender. Une d\u00e9faite par KO au quatri\u00e8me round contre John Yannis \u00e0 Fury FC 104 en mai 2025 vient rappeler qu’il reste un travail en cours, mais il r\u00e9pond deux mois plus tard avec une victoire aux points sur Emiliano Linares. Au moment de cette bio, il affiche un record de 10-3-0 et pr\u00e9pare son prochain combat au CFFC 156 le 26 juin 2026 contre Teshay Gouthro.<\/p>\n

Style de combat<\/h3>\n

Aguirre est avant tout un grappleur. Ceinture bleue en BJJ, mais son jeu au sol d\u00e9passe largement ce grade sur papier : il jongle entre le D’Arce, le triangle et le rear naked choke avec une aisance qui vient de la lutte universitaire. Six de ses dix victoires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 exp\u00e9di\u00e9es au premier round. Debout, son jab est son outil de mise \u00e0 distance pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9. C’est le type de combattant qui peut retourner une situation en quelques secondes d\u00e8s que \u00e7a tombe au sol \u2014 ce que ses adversaires oublient parfois \u00e0 leurs d\u00e9pens.<\/p>\n
