Zubaira Tukhugov \u2014 Le \u00ab\u00a0Warrior\u00a0\u00bb de Grozny<\/h2>\n

Un combattant de Grozny form\u00e9 au Sambo<\/h3>\n

Zubaira \u00ab\u00a0Warrior\u00a0\u00bb Tukhugov est n\u00e9 le 15 janvier 1991 \u00e0 Grozny, en Tch\u00e9tch\u00e9nie. Avant m\u00eame de poser les pieds dans un octogone, il est d\u00e9j\u00e0 Ma\u00eetre du Sport en Combat Sambo et en combat \u00e0 mains nues \u2014 une base solide, tr\u00e8s russe, qui fa\u00e7onne un style complet et difficile \u00e0 bouger. Il d\u00e9bute en MMA professionnel en mars 2010, \u00e0 19 ans, et gravit les \u00e9chelons des circuits russes (ProFC, Fight Nights Global) pendant quatre ans avant de taper \u00e0 la porte de l’UFC.<\/p>\n

L’arriv\u00e9e en UFC et les d\u00e9buts prometteurs<\/h3>\n

Le 15 f\u00e9vrier 2014, \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 36, il s’impose par d\u00e9cision unanime face \u00e0 Douglas Silva de Andrade \u2014 qui arrivait avec un bilan de 22-0. Pas un mince exploit pour une premi\u00e8re sortie \u00e0 Vegas. Dans la foul\u00e9e, il encha\u00eene des victoires sur Phillipe Nover (d\u00e9cembre 2015) et pose des jalons dans la division poids plume. Depuis 2016, il s’entra\u00eene \u00e0 l’American Kickboxing Academy, le club de Khabib Nurmagomedov, avec qui il est proche.<\/p>\n

Suspensions et carri\u00e8re en dents de scie<\/h3>\n

La p\u00e9riode 2016-2019 est pour lui un chantier. En f\u00e9vrier 2018, l’USADA l’\u00e9carte deux ans pour des tests positifs \u00e0 l’ostarine \u2014 un SARM d\u00e9tect\u00e9 sur deux pr\u00e9l\u00e8vements hors-comp\u00e9tition datant de septembre et octobre 2016. Il invoque un compl\u00e9ment contamin\u00e9, sans pouvoir le prouver, et accepte la sanction r\u00e9troactive au 26 septembre 2016.<\/p>\n

Puis vient la nuit de l’UFC 229, le 6 octobre 2018. Apr\u00e8s la victoire de Khabib sur Conor McGregor, Tukhugov saute la cage et frappe McGregor dans la m\u00eal\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. La Nevada State Athletic Commission lui impose un an de suspension suppl\u00e9mentaire et 25 000 dollars d’amende \u2014 r\u00e9duite de 35 jours contre dix heures de service communautaire aupr\u00e8s de jeunes.<\/p>\n

Le retour et les combats marquants<\/h3>\n

De retour en 2020, il exp\u00e9die Kevin Aguilar en 3 minutes 21 au premier round lors de l’UFC on ESPN+ 26 (22 f\u00e9vrier 2020) \u2014 son meilleur finish dans la promo. Il tient la cadence : d\u00e9faite aux points contre Hakeem Dawodu \u00e0 l’UFC 253 (septembre 2020), puis victoire nette par d\u00e9cision unanime sur Ricardo Ramos \u00e0 l’UFC 267 (octobre 2021, Abu Dhabi). Son record UFC s’\u00e9tablit \u00e0 5 victoires, 3 d\u00e9faites et 1 nul, pour 20-6-1 en carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Sa derni\u00e8re sortie : une d\u00e9faite en split decision face \u00e0 Elves Brener \u00e0 l’UFC 284, en f\u00e9vrier 2023. L’UFC le lib\u00e8re fin f\u00e9vrier 2023. Un combat pr\u00e9vu contre Artem Lobov en PFL \u00e0 l’automne 2025 tombe \u00e0 l’eau sur blessure de Lobov.<\/p>\n

Quel combattant ?<\/h3>\n

Tukhugov, c’est un lutteur-frappeur solide, \u00e0 l’aise en clinch, difficile \u00e0 finir. Sa base Sambo lui donne une vraie densit\u00e9 en corps-\u00e0-corps et une bonne lecture au sol. Il ne cherche pas le KO \u00e0 tout prix \u2014 12 de ses 20 victoires vont aux points. Un fighter patient, peu spectaculaire mais coriace, qui a tenu son rang en poids plume UFC pendant pr\u00e8s d’une d\u00e9cennie malgr\u00e9 deux grosses interruptions de carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
