Surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Lobo Solitario\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 le loup solitaire \u2014 il a grandi dans une ville qui ne produit pas des combattants par hasard, et il a d\u00fb se battre pour chaque opportunit\u00e9 bien avant de mettre un pied dans la cage \u00e0 Las Vegas. Install\u00e9 depuis \u00e0 Copperas Cove, Texas, il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene au sein des \u00e9quipes StrKings avec les coachs Kasib Taylor et Chadrick Turner.<\/p>\n<p>Son bilan pro au moment de son arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC oscillait autour de 15 victoires pour 7 d\u00e9faites, avec un passage remarqu\u00e9 en poids plume (5-1), en poids l\u00e9ger et en poids coq. Polyvalent et finisseur \u2014 8 victoires par KO\/TKO sur sa carri\u00e8re \u2014 Johnson est le genre de combattant qui ne laisse pas les arbitres d\u00e9cider quand il peut \u00e9viter \u00e7a.<\/p>\n<h3>La Contender Series et les gal\u00e8res oculaires<\/h3>\n<p>C&rsquo;est en ao\u00fbt 2022, lors de la saison 6 de Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series, qu&rsquo;il d\u00e9croche enfin son ticket UFC en dominant Jack Cartwright \u00e0 la d\u00e9cision unanime sur les 15 minutes r\u00e9glementaires. Combat \u00e9nergique, pression constante, contrat sign\u00e9 en sortant de cage. Mais la suite tourne vite au cauchemar administratif et m\u00e9dical : il doit d\u00e9clarer forfait en novembre 2022 contre Vince Morales (maladie), puis \u00e0 nouveau en f\u00e9vrier contre Garrett Armfield apr\u00e8s un \u00e9chec au test de vue. Une chirurgie oculaire obligatoire s&rsquo;ensuit, la promotion le retire temporairement de son roster, et Johnson se retrouve \u00e0 se demander si le MMA de haut niveau est vraiment son destin. C&rsquo;est sa fianc\u00e9e Trina qui l&rsquo;aide \u00e0 tenir le cap, l&rsquo;accompagnant \u00e0 d&rsquo;innombrables rendez-vous chez l&rsquo;ophtalmologiste pendant que le couple s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit au Texas avec leurs enfants.<\/p>\n<h3>Ses d\u00e9buts UFC : l&rsquo;apprentissage brutal<\/h3>\n<p>Quand il revient enfin en cage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, c&rsquo;est dans des conditions extr\u00eames : en ao\u00fbt 2023, il accepte un combat contre Da&rsquo;Mon Blackshear avec quatre jours de pr\u00e9avis seulement. Il perd par soumission via twister \u2014 l&rsquo;une des finitions les plus rares du MMA \u2014 et en tire une le\u00e7on lucide : \u00ab\u00a0La lutte en UFC est diff\u00e9rente. Les combattants y sont beaucoup plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s en calibre.\u00a0\u00bb En novembre 2023, il se rach\u00e8te en s&rsquo;imposant contre Chad Anheliger par \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re au troisi\u00e8me round (4:49), sa premi\u00e8re victoire sous la banni\u00e8re UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Le pari du poids mouche<\/h3>\n<p>En juin 2024, Johnson fait un choix qui interpelle tout le monde : ce gaillard d&rsquo;1m83 avec 74 pouces d&rsquo;envergure descend en poids mouche (125 lbs), devenant potentiellement l&rsquo;un des plus grands combattants \u00e0 jamais fouler l&rsquo;octogone dans cette cat\u00e9gorie. Son adversaire ce soir-l\u00e0, Asu Almabayev, mesure 1m62 \u2014 la diff\u00e9rence physique est spectaculaire. R\u00e9sultat : victoire aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime, et la d\u00e9monstration que son gabarit peut faire des ravages \u00e0 125. Il revendique lui-m\u00eame l&rsquo;ambition de \u00ab\u00a0faire l&rsquo;histoire en \u00e9tant le plus grand poids mouche jamais enregistr\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Le 11 janvier 2025, face au Br\u00e9silien Felipe Bunes, la machine se grippe : soumission par cl\u00e9 de bras en 2:04 du premier round, et un bilan UFC qui se stabilise \u00e0 1 victoire pour 3 d\u00e9faites en 2025. Son record global tourne autour de 16-10. Le prochain chapitre reste \u00e0 \u00e9crire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/jose-johnson\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/jose-lobo-solitario-johnson\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2024\/06\/14\/the-weight-cutting-chronicles-60-jose-johnson-moves-to-125lbs\/\">CageSidePress<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jose Johnson \u00ab\u00a0Lobo Solitario\u00a0\u00bb, poids mouche UFC de Flint (Michigan), 1m83 dans la cat\u00e9gorie \u00e0 125 lbs.
