Warlley Alves : le soumissionnaire br\u00e9silien qui a fait taper Covington<\/h2>\n

Des tatamis de kickboxing \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Warlley Alves a grandi \u00e0 Governador Valadares, dans le Minas Gerais, et a enfil\u00e9 ses premiers gants \u00e0 10 ans pour faire du kickboxing. Pas en dilettante : trois titres br\u00e9siliens nationaux et une douzaine de m\u00e9dailles d’or dans diverses comp\u00e9titions de pieds-poings. Ce bagage en percussion, combin\u00e9 \u00e0 un grappling construit au fil des ann\u00e9es \u00e0 Rio de Janeiro, en a fait un profil hybride \u00e0 l’aise aussi bien debout qu’au sol. Il passe pro en MMA en avril 2011, d\u00e9bute par une soumission au premier round contre Wallace Oliveira, et ne perd pas pendant dix combats.<\/p>\n

TUF Brazil 3 et l’entr\u00e9e dans la cour des grands<\/h3>\n

En 2014, Alves d\u00e9barque dans l’\u00e9mission The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 au poids moyen. Il r\u00e8gle ses affaires au premier round contre Ismael de Jesus et Wagner Gomes, deux finitions express qui donnent le ton. En finale, le 31 mai 2014 \u00e0 S\u00e3o Paulo, il vient \u00e0 bout de Marcio Alexandre Jr. par \u00e9tranglement en troisi\u00e8me round (en 25 secondes chrono d’arr\u00eat) et repart avec la ceinture TUF. R\u00e9sultat : contrat UFC direct et une belle c\u00f4te de \u00ab\u00a0finisher\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 confirmer.<\/p>\n

Le coup d’\u00e9clat : Covington soumis \u00e0 l’UFC 194<\/h3>\n

Le fait de carri\u00e8re qui colle encore \u00e0 Alves aujourd’hui, c’est ce qu’il a fait le 12 d\u00e9cembre 2015 \u00e0 l’UFC 194 \u2014 la m\u00eame nuit que Aldo vs McGregor. En face : un certain Colby Covington, invaincu et d\u00e9j\u00e0 en train de construire sa r\u00e9putation. Alves l’attrape dans un guillotine choke \u00e0 1:26 du premier round et le fait taper. Premier adversaire professionnel \u00e0 faire taper Covington, avant que \u00ab\u00a0Chaos\u00a0\u00bb ne devienne champion du monde. Ce soir-l\u00e0, Alves repart aussi avec un bonus Performance of the Night.<\/p>\n

Style et identit\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Alves est un kickboxeur \u00e0 l’octogone, mais c’est son grappling qui fait les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts les plus nets. Sept victoires par soumission au compteur sur la carri\u00e8re, une capacit\u00e9 r\u00e9elle \u00e0 cr\u00e9er l’\u00e9tranglement debout ou en clinch. Quand il reste sur les pieds, il mart\u00e8le le corps \u2014 c’est ce que Mounir Lazzez a d\u00e9couvert \u00e0 ses d\u00e9pens le 20 janvier 2021 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Island 8, stopp\u00e9 par une s\u00e9rie de low kicks et body kicks en premier round, un TKO qui lui vaut un nouveau bonus de la nuit.<\/p>\n

Parcours UFC et fin de contrat<\/h3>\n

La carri\u00e8re UFC d’Alves alterne belles soir\u00e9es et coups durs. Apr\u00e8s Covington, il encaisse deux d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives : Bryan Barberena aux points en mai 2016, puis Kamaru Usman \u2014 oui, le futur champion incontest\u00e9 \u2014 en novembre 2016 par d\u00e9cision unanime. Il rebondit \u00e0 plusieurs reprises, dont une victoire par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e sur Nicolas Dalby \u00e0 l’UFC 283 en janvier 2023, avant de tomber sur Ikram Aliskerov \u00e0 l’UFC 294 en octobre 2023 \u00e0 Abu Dhabi (TKO premier round, genou volant + uppercuts). Son record UFC s’est construit sur dix ans de maison : trois bonus Performance of the Night, des victoires sur Nordine Taleb et Mounir Lazzez, des pertes contre des noms qui ont domin\u00e9 la division. L’UFC l’a lib\u00e9r\u00e9 en f\u00e9vrier 2025 apr\u00e8s une s\u00e9rie de quatre d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n
