JeongYeong Lee, le \u00ab\u00a0Korean Tiger\u00a0\u00bb qui voulait d\u00e9vorer l’UFC<\/h2>\n

De Daegu aux cages cor\u00e9ennes<\/h3>\n

JeongYeong Lee a grandi \u00e0 Daegu, dans le sud de la Cor\u00e9e, et a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se faire un nom dans les circuits amateurs de Road FC avant m\u00eame d’\u00eatre majeur. \u00c0 seulement 22 ans, le 3 novembre 2018 \u00e0 Daejeon, il a mis fin au r\u00e8gne de Choi Mu-Gyeom \u2014 le champion le plus longuement titr\u00e9 de Road FC \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque \u2014 par d\u00e9cision unanime pour s’emparer de la ceinture poids plume. Une performance sobre mais nette : Lee a contr\u00f4l\u00e9 le centre de la cage sur l’ensemble des trois rounds, Choi finissant le combat le visage en lambeaux. Premi\u00e8re d\u00e9fense du titre \u00e0 Road FC 55 : Park Hae Jin n’a tenu que dix secondes, \u00e9teint par un direct du droit d\u00e8s l’ouverture. Pas la peine d’en rajouter.<\/p>\n

Road to UFC : deux finishes express et un contrat<\/h3>\n

En 2022, la premi\u00e8re saison du Road to UFC lui offre la vitrine qu’il attendait pour se faire rep\u00e9rer par l’organisation am\u00e9ricaine. Le 10 juin, il r\u00e8gle Xie Bin en 36 secondes \u00e0 l’armbar \u2014 sa technique de pr\u00e9dilection. Le 23 octobre, Lu Kai ne dure pas plus de 42 secondes, \u00e9tourdi par un crochet droit. En finale, le 4 f\u00e9vrier 2023, la victoire en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e face \u00e0 Yi Zha est plus serr\u00e9e, mais c’est suffisant : JeongYeong Lee repart avec un contrat UFC en poche. Il r\u00e9p\u00e8te alors en toute franchise : \u00ab\u00a0Je suis pr\u00eat pour l’UFC depuis un moment d\u00e9j\u00e0.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l’UFC : d\u00e9buts solides, puis deux revers durs \u00e0 avaler<\/h3>\n

Le 3 f\u00e9vrier 2024 \u00e0 l’UFC APEX, Lee fait ses vrais d\u00e9buts dans l’Octogone contre le Canadien Blake Bilder. D\u00e9cision unanime 30-27 sur les trois cartons \u2014 Lee domine aux frappes, d\u00e9fend les tentatives de takedown et impose sa pression vers l’avant. Pas spectaculaire, mais propre. Quatre mois plus tard, le 20 juillet 2024, c’est la douche froide : Hyder Amil le cueille \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 94 avec une combinaison de 38 coups cons\u00e9cutifs, TKO \u00e0 1:05 du premier round. En mai 2025 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, \u00e0 l’UFC 315, Daniel Santos confirme les doutes \u00e0 la d\u00e9cision unanime. Deux d\u00e9faites de suite, et un combat pr\u00e9vu contre Gaston Bolanos \u00e0 l’UFC 326 en mars 2026 annul\u00e9 au dernier moment pour un probl\u00e8me de gestion du poids. Le \u00ab\u00a0Korean Tiger\u00a0\u00bb traverse une p\u00e9riode difficile, c’est un fait.<\/p>\n

Le profil : c\u0153ur de lion, armbar en embuscade<\/h3>\n

Lee est ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien et s’entra\u00eene au Fight Ready. Sur le papier, c’est un finisseur : cinq victoires au premier round, une combinaison de soumissions (armbar en t\u00eate) et de KO dans son palmar\u00e8s. Il encaisse aussi tr\u00e8s bien \u2014 \u00e0 l’UFC 315, il a absorb\u00e9 un direct du droit qui \u00ab\u00a0aurait envoy\u00e9 au sol n’importe qui d’autre\u00a0\u00bb selon les observateurs, et il a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 se battre. Ce n’est pas un fuyeur. Son ambition d\u00e9clar\u00e9e ? Devenir la superstar MMA de l’Asie, rivaliser un jour avec Ilia Topuria ou Max Holloway. Il a le temps : il n’a pas encore trente ans et son bilan UFC reste positif (3 victoires, 2 d\u00e9faites).<\/p>\n
