Ce qui le distingue d&#8217;embl\u00e9e : 7 de ses 12 victoires professionnelles sont des KO ou TKO, soit un taux de finition parmi les plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s de sa division. Ceinture violette en JJB, stance switch, allonge de 72 pouces \u2014 les outils sont l\u00e0, mais c&rsquo;est le compteur de knockouts qui parle le plus.<\/p>\n<h3>D\u00e9buts en Ontario : la fili\u00e8re BTC<\/h3>\n<p>Sidey fait ses premi\u00e8res armes sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale canadienne d\u00e8s l&rsquo;\u00e9t\u00e9 2018. Le 23 juin de cette ann\u00e9e-l\u00e0, il s&rsquo;impose en d\u00e9cision face \u00e0 Avinash Chowtee au BTC 3 ; il l&rsquo;\u00e9crase \u00e0 nouveau aux poings deux mois plus tard au BTC 4, cette fois en trois rounds. En ao\u00fbt 2019, il \u00e9limine Kevin Bastien Popowick au premier round (BTC 7). Premi\u00e8re vraie le\u00e7on le 29 f\u00e9vrier 2020 : Mateo Vogel lui conc\u00e8de la d\u00e9cision au BTC 9. La pause li\u00e9e \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie ne l&rsquo;entame pas \u2014 il repart \u00e0 l&rsquo;automne 2021, bat Gerico Platon par triangle au premier round (BFL 68, septembre 2021), puis soumet Ali Wasuk au 4e round (BFL 70, d\u00e9cembre 2021).<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;ann\u00e9e 2023 : du BTC \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone UFC<\/h3>\n<p>2023 est son ann\u00e9e charni\u00e8re. En mars, il r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Walel Watson au BTC 19 par ground and pound en moins de 3 minutes. En juin, il recroise Ali Wasuk en BFL 77 et l&rsquo;arr\u00eate au 2e round. Puis vient le tournant : le 5 septembre 2023, sur le Contender Series de Dana White, il affronte Ramon Taveras. Droite au cr\u00e2ne, K.O. au premier round \u00e0 2 minutes 26 \u2014 contrat UFC d\u00e9croch\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC : les victoires, la d\u00e9cision vol\u00e9e, et la confirmation<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC passe d&rsquo;abord par le rematch le plus douloureux de sa carri\u00e8re. Le 20 janvier 2024 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 297, il retrouve Taveras \u2014 et perd par split decision. Une d\u00e9cision qui fait grincer des dents : la totalit\u00e9 des journalistes accr\u00e9dit\u00e9s au MMA Decisions ont scor\u00e9 le combat pour Sidey. Les juges, eux, ont vu autrement. Ce genre de d\u00e9faite peut briser une dynamique ; pas la sienne.<\/p>\n<p>Le 2 novembre 2024, il bat Garrett Armfield par split decision \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night. Puis le 3 mai 2025, il neutralise Cameron Smotherman sur l&rsquo;int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 des trois rounds et convainc les trois juges \u00e0 l&rsquo;unanime. Deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, une tendance qui se confirme.<\/p>\n<h3>Style : le striker qui sait aussi aller au sol<\/h3>\n<p>Sidey en stance switch, c&rsquo;est un probl\u00e8me de lecture permanent pour l&rsquo;adversaire. Sa pr\u00e9cision de frappe tourne autour de 40 % en UFC, mais c&rsquo;est son intensit\u00e9 par minute (4,49 coups significatifs) qui use les opposants. Sa d\u00e9fense au takedown atteint 80 % \u2014 il pr\u00e9f\u00e8re rester debout et \u00e7a se voit. Quand il descend au sol, la ceinture violette BJJ rappelle qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;est pas non plus \u00e0 jeter comme soumissionnaire, avec une victoire par triangle choke et une par tapout \u00e0 son actif.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/serhiy-sidey\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/serhiy-sidey\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/mmadecisions.com\/decision\/14473\/Ramon-Taveras-vs-Serhiy-Sidey\">MMA Decisions (UFC 297)<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serhiy Sidey, combattant MMA ukrainien en coq \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC (12-2), frappe \u00e0 7 KOs et vise une place dans le top bantamweight depuis Burlington (Canada).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102745,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69974],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104309","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-bantamweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
