C&rsquo;est sa m\u00e8re qui l&rsquo;a inscrit au jiu-jitsu quand il \u00e9tait ado, histoire de canaliser son \u00e9nergie d\u00e9bordante. Il n&rsquo;a plus jamais d\u00e9croch\u00e9. Il encha\u00eene avec le muay-tha\u00ef, obtient une licence en \u00e9ducation physique avec mention, et pose finalement sur les tatamis de la Tata Fight Team dans sa ville natale. Son BJJ, affin\u00e9 pendant des ann\u00e9es sous la coupe d&rsquo;Ot\u00e1vio Duarte, lui vaut une ceinture noire 3e degr\u00e9 \u2014 le genre de grade qui ne trompe pas.<\/p>\n<h3>Parcours avant l&rsquo;UFC : dix ans de circuit br\u00e9silien<\/h3>\n<p>Muniz fait ses d\u00e9buts en MMA \u00e0 19 ans, en 2009, sur les promotions r\u00e9gionales br\u00e9siliennes. Il construit son exp\u00e9rience patiemment, et le moment charni\u00e8re arrive le 6 f\u00e9vrier 2014 : il bat par d\u00e9cision Paulo Filho \u2014 l&rsquo;ancien champion du WEC et figure du PRIDE \u2014 au Bitetti Combat 19, d\u00e9crochant au passage le titre de la promotion. Entre 2014 et 2018, il encha\u00eene dix victoires sur onze combats. Il tente une premi\u00e8re fois sa chance au Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series Brazil en ao\u00fbt 2018 (victoire sur Bruno Assis), mais repart sans contrat. Il revient le 6 ao\u00fbt 2019 et finit Taylor Johnson d\u00e8s le premier round par \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re. Cette fois, Dana White signe.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC : un soumissionniste impr\u00e9visible<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts sous la banni\u00e8re UFC, le 16 novembre 2019 \u00e0 S\u00e3o Paulo, sont propres : victoire par d\u00e9cision sur Antonio Arroyo. Puis la machine s&#8217;emballe. Le 5 septembre 2020, il soumet Bartosz Fabinski en moins de trois minutes par cl\u00e9 de bras \u2014 un bonus Performance of the Night. Le 15 mai 2021 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 262 \u00e0 Houston, il \u00e9crit l&rsquo;une des pages les plus marquantes de l&rsquo;octogone cette ann\u00e9e-l\u00e0 : il passe d&rsquo;un triangle rat\u00e9 \u00e0 une cl\u00e9 de bras sur Ronaldo \u00ab\u00a0Jacare\u00a0\u00bb Souza \u2014 la l\u00e9gende br\u00e9silienne, jamais soumise en carri\u00e8re \u2014 et le bras de Jacare c\u00e8de avec un craquement audible \u00e0 3:59 du round 1. \u00ab\u00a0J&rsquo;ai entendu le bras craquer\u00a0\u00bb, dira Muniz apr\u00e8s le combat. Il devient le premier combattant \u00e0 soumettre Souza en MMA. Le combat lui vaut la soumission de l&rsquo;ann\u00e9e pour de nombreux m\u00e9dias sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s. Il r\u00e9cidive le 11 d\u00e9cembre 2021 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 269 avec une nouvelle cl\u00e9 de bras au round 1 sur Eryk Anders (3:13), puis bat Uriah Hall par d\u00e9cision unanime le 2 juillet 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 276.<\/p>\n<h3>Le passage \u00e0 vide et la fin de l&rsquo;aventure UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Depuis d\u00e9but 2023, le bilan est moins flatteur. Brendan Allen le soumet au round 3 le 25 f\u00e9vrier 2023 ; Paul Craig le stoppe par TKO au 2e round le 22 juillet 2023 \u00e0 Londres. Il rel\u00e8ve la t\u00eate avec une victoire aux points sur JunYong Park en d\u00e9cembre 2023, mais 2025 tourne court : TKO d\u00e8s le round 1 face \u00e0 Ikram Aliskerov le 26 avril, puis KO \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re seconde du round 1 par Edmen Shahbazyan \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 320 le 4 octobre 2025. Suite \u00e0 cette d\u00e9faite, Muniz est lib\u00e9r\u00e9 du roster UFC.<\/p>\n<p>Au total, sa fiche professionnelle s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 24 victoires (15 par soumission, 4 par KO, 5 par d\u00e9cision) et 8 d\u00e9faites. Un combattant dont le grappling reste l&rsquo;un des plus cr\u00e9atifs et dangereux du middleweight mondial \u2014 m\u00eame quand les r\u00e9sultats ne suivent plus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Andr%C3%A9_Muniz\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/andre-muniz\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roster.watch\/fighters\/andremuniz.html\">Roster Watch<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andr\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Sergipano\u00a0\u00bb Muniz, poids moyen br\u00e9silien UFC, BJJ 3e degr\u00e9 : c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour avoir bris\u00e9 le bras de Jacare Souza \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 262 en mai 2021.
