C&rsquo;est \u00e0 House of Champions, son club de Stoney Creek en Ontario, qu&rsquo;il forge son style : un pressing \u00e9touffant, des mains lourdes et un jeu au sol solide, avec la ceinture noire de BJJ pour le prouver. Il commence sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle en 2012 et construit rapidement une r\u00e9putation de finisseur dans le circuit r\u00e9gional nord-am\u00e9ricain \u2014 plus de 70 % de ses victoires se terminent avant la limite.<\/p>\n<p>En avril 2016, il d\u00e9croche le titre des poids plumes d&rsquo;Elite 1 MMA en mettant fin au combat d\u00e8s le premier round contre Justin Bourgeois. Un r\u00e9sultat qui lui ouvre les portes de la grosse ligue.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC : un parcours en dents de scie<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, le 8 d\u00e9cembre 2018 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 231 de Toronto, est compliqu\u00e9e : appel\u00e9 en short notice, il affronte Carlos Diego Ferreira et s&rsquo;incline par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round. Mais Nelson n&rsquo;est pas du genre \u00e0 dispara\u00eetre. En septembre 2019 \u00e0 Mexico City, il corrige Marco Polo Reyes en moins d&rsquo;une minute et demie au premier round \u2014 son premier scalp en UFC, et une belle carte de visite.<\/p>\n<p>La suite de sa carri\u00e8re oscille entre \u00e9clairs et d\u00e9convenues. En septembre 2020, Billy Quarantillo l&rsquo;\u00e9teint par KO au troisi\u00e8me round. Puis en f\u00e9vrier 2023, il livre un combat de guerre contre le Cor\u00e9en Choi Doo-ho qui se termine sur un match nul par majorit\u00e9 \u2014 l&rsquo;un des r\u00e9sultats les plus disput\u00e9s de sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC. En mars 2024, retour en mode finisseur : TKO sur Bill Algeo \u00e0 4h00 exactement du premier round, \u00e0 Atlantic City. En octobre 2025, il passe en poids l\u00e9gers (155 lbs) et bat Matt Frevola aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime. Mais en mars 2026, Terrance McKinney le stoppe en seulement 24 secondes au premier round \u00e0 Seattle.<\/p>\n<h3>Un combattant, un p\u00e8re, un pompier volontaire<\/h3>\n<p>En dehors de l&rsquo;octogone, Kyle Nelson est p\u00e8re de quatre enfants et pompier volontaire. Des responsabilit\u00e9s qui donnent du poids \u00e0 chacun de ses combats \u2014 il ne se bat pas pour la gloire, il se bat parce que c&rsquo;est ce qu&rsquo;il sait faire de mieux. Son record actuel est de 17 victoires, 7 d\u00e9faites et 1 match nul, avec 8 finishs au premier round \u00e0 son actif.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kyle_Nelson_(fighter)\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/kyle-nelson\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/kyle-nelson-starting-fresh-ufc-vancouver\">UFC.com \u2013 Starting Fresh<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle \u00ab\u00a0The Monster\u00a0\u00bb Nelson, poids plume\/l\u00e9ger canadien \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC (17-7-1), finisseur au BJJ ceinture noire, p\u00e8re de quatre enfants et pompier volontaire en Ontario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102618,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69975],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104220","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-featherweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
