Avant de d\u00e9barquer dans l&rsquo;octogone, il \u00e9tait \u00e9conomiste de formation \u2014 et cinq fois champion de Russie de Sanda (wushu de contact). Pas le parcours classique du mec sorti d&rsquo;un gym de boxe \u00e0 16 ans.<\/p>\n<h3>Des d\u00e9buts en r\u00e9gionales, une mont\u00e9e \u00e9clair<\/h3>\n<p>Abdurakhimov d\u00e9bute en MMA professionnel en avril 2008 sur les circuits russes ProFC et Abu Dhabi FC. Il empile les victoires \u2014 souvent par TKO ou soumission \u2014 et s&rsquo;offre en cours de route deux noms qui comptent : Jeff Monson, battu aux points en mai 2010 \u00e0 l&rsquo;Abu Dhabi FC, et Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, stopp\u00e9 en octobre de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e. Son palmar\u00e8s grimpe \u00e0 18-2 avant que l&rsquo;UFC ne signe sous contrat cet Avar de 1,91 m et 119 kg en janvier 2015.<\/p>\n<h3>Carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : le bon, le moins bon<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e dans la cage la plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre du monde est brutale : Timothy Johnson le stoppe au premier round en avril 2015 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 63. Mauvaise carte de visite. Mais Abdurakhimov rebondit : il encha\u00eene des victoires sur Anthony Hamilton (f\u00e9vrier 2016) et Walt Harris (octobre 2016) avant de heurter le mur Derrick Lewis, KO\/TKO en d\u00e9cembre 2016.<\/p>\n<p>La suite, c&rsquo;est du yoyo. Il repart de l&rsquo;avant avec un KO propre sur Chase Sherman en novembre 2017, puis d\u00e9croche sa victoire la plus notable \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : une d\u00e9cision unanime sur Andrei Arlovski en septembre 2018 \u00e0 Moscou. Six mois plus tard, il r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Marcin Tybura (TKO round 2, avril 2019) \u2014 sa derni\u00e8re victoire en carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<p>Les trois derniers combats racontent une autre histoire. Curtis Blaydes le stoppe \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 242 en septembre 2019. Chris Daukaus le finit \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 266 en septembre 2021. Sergei Pavlovich le d\u00e9truit en un round en mars 2022. La derni\u00e8re sortie \u2014 face \u00e0 Jailton Almeida \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 283, le 21 janvier 2023 \u2014 se termine pareil, TKO au round 2. L&rsquo;UFC le lib\u00e8re dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Le style : du lourd qui frappe vite<\/h3>\n<p>Abdurakhimov s&rsquo;appuie sur un base Sanda solide \u2014 pieds-poings, jeu de distance \u2014 compl\u00e9t\u00e9e par une lutte en freestyle. Son punch est r\u00e9el : 9 victoires par KO\/TKO sur 20 au total, avec un taux de finishs au premier round impressionnant (10 stoppages au premier acte sur l&rsquo;ensemble de sa carri\u00e8re). Le probl\u00e8me, c&rsquo;est la r\u00e9sistance aux coups en fin de carri\u00e8re : ses 6 d\u00e9faites \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC arrivent toutes par KO ou TKO.<\/p>\n<h3>Bilan<\/h3>\n<p>Vingt victoires, huit d\u00e9faites, un record officiel 5-6 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC. Abdurakhimov aura \u00e9t\u00e9 un poids lourd respectable, jamais tout \u00e0 fait un contendant au titre, mais capable de battre des v\u00e9t\u00e9rans solides comme Arlovski ou Monson. Champion du monde ADFC en poids lourds, cinq fois champion de Russie en Sanda \u2014 le palmar\u00e8s hors octogone est l\u00e0. Son dernier combat professionnel remonte au 21 janvier 2023, \u00e0 41 ans.
