Il s&rsquo;est rapidement orient\u00e9 vers le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien, jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 d\u00e9crocher une ceinture noire 3e degr\u00e9 \u2014 la m\u00eame discipline qui lui a construit son identit\u00e9 de combattant. Au sein de la Pitbull Brothers, la m\u00eame \u00e9quipe qui a form\u00e9 les fr\u00e8res Pitbull (Patricky et Patricio), Bunes a affin\u00e9 un jeu de soumission particuli\u00e8rement vari\u00e9 : sur ses 14 victoires professionnelles, 9 passent par soumission, dont 6 armbars, sans oublier un triangle volant et un triangle invers\u00e9. Dix de ses finitions ont eu lieu au premier round.<\/p>\n<h3>Champion LFA, puis suspension avant l&rsquo;Octogone<\/h3>\n<p>En janvier 2023, Bunes d\u00e9croche le titre LFA flyweight en arr\u00eatant le Japonais Yuma Horiuchi \u2014 un r\u00e9sultat qui lui ouvre les portes de l&rsquo;UFC. Mais son histoire avec la grande ligue commence par une fausse note : sign\u00e9 pour d\u00e9buter face \u00e0 Zhalgas Zhumagulov \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Vegas 75 en juin 2023, il ne monte jamais dans la cage. Un contr\u00f4le antidopage positif au GW1516, un modulateur m\u00e9tabolique interdit, lui vaut six mois de suspension de la Nevada Athletic Commission et une amende de 326 dollars. Bunes reconna\u00eet publiquement les faits et attend son heure.<\/p>\n<h3>Des d\u00e9buts UFC difficiles, une premi\u00e8re victoire en armbar<\/h3>\n<p>Redevenu \u00e9ligible en d\u00e9cembre 2023, il fait enfin son entr\u00e9e dans l&rsquo;Octogone le 13 janvier 2024 face \u00e0 Joshua Van. La soir\u00e9e tourne court : Van le stoppe par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round. Bunes ne c\u00e8de pas pour autant. Le 11 janvier 2025, il cueille Jose Johnson avec un armbar et signe sa premi\u00e8re victoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC \u2014 une victoire au premier round, dans son registre de pr\u00e9dilection. Mais la suite complique le bilan : d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Rafael Estevam en ao\u00fbt 2025, puis split decision perdue contre le Mexicain Edgar Chairez le 28 f\u00e9vrier 2026. Son record \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 1-3, pour un bilan g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de 14-9.<\/p>\n<h3>Un combattant engag\u00e9 au-del\u00e0 de la cage<\/h3>\n<p>En dehors du MMA, Bunes s&rsquo;investit dans la sensibilisation au cancer, une cause personnelle depuis qu&rsquo;il a perdu son p\u00e8re face \u00e0 la maladie. Il enseigne par ailleurs dans sa propre salle, combinant carri\u00e8re professionnelle et transmission. Il cite Anderson Silva et Ricardo Arona comme r\u00e9f\u00e9rences \u2014 deux profils oppos\u00e9s qui refl\u00e8tent son double registre frapper-soumettre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/felipe-bunes\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/ufc\/fighter\/50037358\/felipe-bunes\/\">CBS Sports<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-breaking-newly-signed-lfa-flyweight-champ-set-make-promotional-debut-zhalgas-zhumagulov-ufc-vegas-75\">Sportskeeda<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felipe \u00ab\u00a0Felipinho\u00a0\u00bb Bunes, poids mouche br\u00e9silien de l&rsquo;UFC et ancien champion LFA, sp\u00e9cialiste du BJJ avec 9 victoires par soumission sur 14 au total.
