N\u00e9 en 1996, il commence \u00e0 taper sur des sacs adolescent et signe son premier combat pro en 2015, \u00e0 dix-neuf ans \u00e0 peine. Son surnom, \u00ab\u00a0The Gorilla\u00a0\u00bb, ne lui est pas tomb\u00e9 dessus par hasard : c&rsquo;est le quartier qui le lui a coll\u00e9, une mani\u00e8re de dire qu&rsquo;il y a quelque chose d&rsquo;imposant et d&rsquo;instinctif dans sa fa\u00e7on de combattre.<\/p>\n<p>En dix ans de carri\u00e8re pro, il compile un bilan de 17 victoires et 10 d\u00e9faites avec un no-contest, avec neuf KO\/TKO et sept soumissions \u00e0 son actif \u2014 un profil de finisseur, pas d&rsquo;un gars qui court apr\u00e8s les points. Il remporte le titre des lourds-l\u00e9gers de Shooto Brasil en d\u00e9cembre 2022 en envoyant Jo\u00e3o Paulo Fagundes au tapis au premier round. Ce titre ouvre la porte \u00e0 la grande sc\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n<h3>La Contender Series comme tremplin<\/h3>\n<p>Le 5 septembre 2023, lors de la septi\u00e8me saison de la Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series, Ribeiro r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Bruno Lopes en 3 minutes 47 au premier round. Knockout, contrat UFC dans la foul\u00e9e. Dana White signe, et le Br\u00e9silien de Bel\u00e9m rejoint le roster de la division la plus engorg\u00e9e du circuit : les lourds-l\u00e9gers.<\/p>\n<h3>UFC : des \u00e9clairs et des murs<\/h3>\n<p>Son vrai bapt\u00eame de l&rsquo;octogone arrive le 17 f\u00e9vrier 2024 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 298. Face \u00e0 lui, Zhang Mingyang \u2014 Chinois qui d\u00e9bute lui aussi, et qui va frapper fort d&rsquo;entr\u00e9e. Un enchainement \u00e0 trois coups \u00e0 1:41 du premier round, et Ribeiro se retrouve au sol, le combat stopp\u00e9. Premi\u00e8re sortie, premi\u00e8re le\u00e7on. Il revient en juin 2024 et s&rsquo;incline aux points face \u00e0 Magomed Gadzhiyasulov sur d\u00e9cision majoritaire.<\/p>\n<p>Puis viennent les deux victoires qui confirment qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;est pas juste un punching-ball du roster : le 2 novembre 2024, il arrache une d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e contre Caio Machado ; le 15 mars 2025, il \u00e9trangle Diyar Nurgozhay avec un kimura au deuxi\u00e8me round en 1:28. Ce sont ces performances-l\u00e0 qui montrent le vrai Ribeiro \u2014 un type capable de switcher entre les frappes puissantes et le jeu au sol.<\/p>\n<p>Mais la suite est difficile. \u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC 316 le 7 juin 2025, Azamat Murzakanov l&rsquo;exp\u00e9die en TKO en 3:25. Le 6 septembre 2025 \u00e0 Paris, c&rsquo;est Oumar Sy qui le martyrise au sol \u00e0 coups de coudes devant une salle en d\u00e9lire, stoppage \u00e0 4:42 du premier round. Et le 4 avril 2026 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Vegas 115, Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev l&rsquo;am\u00e8ne au sol et l&rsquo;\u00e9trangle via rear-naked choke \u00e0 2:52 du round initial \u2014 troisi\u00e8me d\u00e9faite de suite, bilan UFC descendu \u00e0 2-5.<\/p>\n<h3>La suite : Abu Dhabi, juillet 2026<\/h3>\n<p>Ribeiro repart en juillet 2026 avec un d\u00e9fi de taille : le 25, il affronte Magomed Tuchalov \u00e0 l&rsquo;Etihad Arena d&rsquo;Abu Dhabi. Tuchalov est invaincu au MMA (6-0, cinq KO) et fait ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC. Pour Ribeiro, c&rsquo;est un combat \u00e0 ne pas rater \u2014 une victoire relance la machine, une d\u00e9faite complique s\u00e9rieusement son maintien sur le roster.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/brendson-ribeiro\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Brendson-Ribeiro-210539\">Sherdog<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mma\/fighter\/history\/_\/id\/4379328\/brendson-ribeiro\">ESPN MMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brendson \u00ab\u00a0The Gorilla\u00a0\u00bb Ribeiro, lourd-l\u00e9ger br\u00e9silien de Bel\u00e9m do Par\u00e1, 17-10 au MMA, 2-5 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC depuis son contrat DWCS 2023.
