Shamil Gaziev \u2014 le Daghestanais qui a tout mis\u00e9 sur la puissance<\/h2>\n

Du volley-ball \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Avant de devenir un puncheur redout\u00e9 chez les lourds \u00e0 l’UFC, Shamil Gaziev jouait au volley-ball pour l’\u00e9quipe nationale du Daghestan. C’est apr\u00e8s un match que sa trajectoire bascule : il croise la route d’Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov \u2014 le p\u00e8re et entra\u00eeneur de Khabib \u2014 qui l’invite \u00e0 essayer le MMA. N\u00e9 le 10 f\u00e9vrier 1990 \u00e0 Khunzakh, un village de montagne du Daghestan, Gaziev prend le chemin du combat. Il n’y reviendra jamais en arri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Quand son ami Eldar Eldarov, lui-m\u00eame pass\u00e9 par l’\u00e9cole Nurmagomedov, prend la t\u00eate de la s\u00e9lection nationale bahre\u00efnie, il appelle Gaziev \u00e0 le rejoindre \u00e0 Manama. Gaziev pose ses valises au sein de la KHK MMA Team \u2014 la structure d’\u00e9lite qui abrite aussi le poids mouche Muhammad Mokaev \u2014 et adopte le drapeau du Bahre\u00efn. Il deviendra le premier combattant \u00e0 repr\u00e9senter ce pays sous la banni\u00e8re UFC.<\/p>\n

Un bilan amateur solide, des d\u00e9buts pro en circuit ferm\u00e9 russe<\/h3>\n

Avant de passer professionnel en 2020, Gaziev construit un palmar\u00e8s amateur s\u00e9rieux : champion IMMAF d’Europe, d’Afrique et d’Asie en poids lourds, m\u00e9daill\u00e9 de bronze aux mondiaux IMMAF. Il d\u00e9bute ensuite chez les pros en Russie et en Bi\u00e9lorussie, encha\u00eene sept victoires en sept combats, toutes par arr\u00eat avant la fin du deuxi\u00e8me round. Z\u00e9ro d\u00e9cision. Il passe ensuite par la Brave Combat Federation, puis d\u00e9barque le 19 septembre 2023 sur Dana White’s Contender Series : soumission de Greg Velasco par rear naked choke \u00e0 2:38 du premier round, contrat UFC d\u00e9croch\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l’UFC : des d\u00e9buts fracassants, un parcours en montagnes russes<\/h3>\n

Le 16 d\u00e9cembre 2023, Gaziev fait ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC 296 face au Slovaque Martin Buday. Il s’impose par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round (0:56) et repart avec le bonus Performance of the Night. L’UFC le propulse directement en main event pour son deuxi\u00e8me combat, le 2 mars 2024, contre Jairzinho Rozenstruik \u2014 un ancien top 5 mondial. Gaziev tient jusqu’au quatri\u00e8me round avant que son coin ne jette l’\u00e9ponge. Premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite professionnelle, mais l’image d’un lourd capable d’aller chercher des pointures reste intacte.<\/p>\n

Il rebondit le 3 ao\u00fbt 2024 face \u00e0 Don’Tale Mayes, victoire aux points, puis confirme sa puissance de frappe le 1er f\u00e9vrier 2025 en assommant Thomas Petersen d’un direct du droit \u00e0 3:12 du premier round. Mais les deux sorties suivantes freinent sa dynamique : KO au premier round par Waldo Cortes-Acosta (22 novembre 2025, 1:22), puis KO au deuxi\u00e8me round par Brando Peri\u010di\u0107 lors de l’UFC Perth du 2 mai 2026 (3:44). Record UFC \u00e0 ce jour : 3 victoires, 3 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n

Profil et style<\/h3>\n

Gaziev mesure 1,91 m pour une envergure de pr\u00e8s de deux m\u00e8tres (199 cm). Sa puissance de frappe est son argument principal \u2014 9 de ses 14 victoires professionnelles sont venues par KO ou TKO. Il sait aussi soumettre (3 victoires par rear naked choke), et sa d\u00e9fense au sol (83 % de takedowns d\u00e9fendus) laisse peu de portes ouvertes aux grappleurs. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 les d\u00e9faites montrent une limite r\u00e9elle, c’est face aux frappeurs lourds capables de le toucher avant lui : Cortes-Acosta et Peri\u010di\u0107 ont chacun profit\u00e9 de la m\u00eame fen\u00eatre.<\/p>\n

Avec un record global de 14-3 et des victoires exclusivement par arr\u00eat dans 85 % de ses combats, Gaziev reste un danger constant dans une division poids lourds o\u00f9 une nuit peut tout effacer.<\/p>\n
