Stewart \u00ab\u00a0Kakamora\u00a0\u00bb Nicoll : le grappler australien aux mains de soie dans l’Octogone<\/h2>\n

Un surnom qui dit tout<\/h3>\n

Le \u00ab\u00a0Kakamora\u00a0\u00bb, dans la mythologie des \u00celes Salomon, c’est une cr\u00e9ature petite, poilue, forte et mauvaise \u2014 un fauteur de troubles que l’on sous-estime toujours une fois de trop. Stewart Nicoll a grandi \u00e0 Redcliffe, Queensland, Australie, mais avec des racines familiales aux \u00celes Salomon, et le surnom lui colle \u00e0 la peau comme une RNC au finish. \u00c0 5’5″ et 57 kg, il comp\u00e8te en mouche \u00e0 l’UFC, et sur un tapis, il sait exactement comment faire mal.<\/p>\n

De Brisbane \u00e0 la ceinture XFC<\/h3>\n

Nicoll commence sa carri\u00e8re pro en juin 2018 \u00e0 Brisbane, lors de l’ACB 88, avec une soumission via rear naked choke d\u00e8s le premier round contre Darren Habben. La suite est dans la m\u00eame veine : il encha\u00eene les finishes, principalement au sol, avec un catalogue de soumissions exotiques (triangle invers\u00e9, triangle en reverse, guillotine) qui r\u00e9v\u00e8le un jeu de jiu-jitsu au-dessus de la moyenne r\u00e9gionale. En novembre 2019 \u00e0 l’XFC 43, il s’empare du titre des mouches en 1 round et 1’18\u00a0\u00bb contre Mitchell Birkett via inverted triangle choke. Il d\u00e9fend cette ceinture en mars 2021 face \u00e0 Jamie Renouf, aux points, avant de quitter la sc\u00e8ne australienne pour viser plus haut.<\/p>\n

Entre 2022 et mars 2024, Nicoll tourne sur la promotion Beatdown, signant quatre victoires suppl\u00e9mentaires dont trois avant la limite \u2014 la derni\u00e8re, un KO au premier round contre le Japonais Issei Kitano en mars 2024, lui sert de ticket pour l’UFC. Au total, 7 victoires sans la moindre d\u00e9faite avant de signer \u00e0 Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Le choc de l’Octogone<\/h3>\n

L’UFC 305, le 17 ao\u00fbt 2024 \u00e0 Perth : Stewart Nicoll fait ses d\u00e9buts sous la plus grande banni\u00e8re au monde dans un contexte de gala (Du Plessis vs Adesanya en main event). Il am\u00e8ne J\u00e9sus Aguilar au sol, cherche le dos \u2014 et Aguilar se retourne, verrouille une guillotine et le rendort en 2’39\u00a0\u00bb. Les yeux qui se r\u00e9vulsent, l’arbitre qui intervient : un d\u00e9but de carri\u00e8re UFC qu’on aurait pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 diff\u00e9rent, mais le genre de sc\u00e8ne qui fait comprendre que la marche \u00e9tait haute.<\/p>\n

Le 11 octobre 2025, il revient \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night (Oliveira vs Gamrot) face au Br\u00e9silien Lucas Rocha. Trois rounds serr\u00e9s, mais la d\u00e9cision unanime lui \u00e9chappe. Puis le 4 avril 2026, toujours en Fight Night, il tombe face \u00e0 Alessandro Costa sur un crochet gauche au foie \u00e0 4’56\u00a0\u00bb du deuxi\u00e8me round \u2014 une d\u00e9faite qui porte le bilan UFC \u00e0 0-3.<\/p>\n

Le profil de combat<\/h3>\n

Nicoll est catalogu\u00e9 grappler par l’UFC, et ses stats de soumission pr\u00e9-UFC l’illustrent : rear naked choke, triangle invers\u00e9, triangle en reverse, guillotine \u2014 autant de finishes construits au fil de ses ann\u00e9es \u00e0 la t\u00eate de Broz Martial Arts \u00e0 Brisbane, club qu’il co-anime avec sa femme. Ses statistiques UFC pointent une pr\u00e9cision de 39 % aux frappes et une d\u00e9fense aux takedowns \u00e0 29 %, ce qui explique en partie ses difficult\u00e9s au plus haut niveau. La base grappling est r\u00e9elle ; l’adaptation \u00e0 la vitesse et \u00e0 la puissance UFC reste le chantier.<\/p>\n

Et maintenant ?<\/h3>\n

Le 18 juillet 2026, Stewart Nicoll retrouve l’Octogone face \u00e0 Alden Coria lors d’un UFC Fight Night. Avec un bilan overall de 8-3 (7-0 avant l’UFC), l’Australien des \u00celes Salomon n’a pas dit son dernier mot \u2014 et les grappleurs patients finissent souvent par trouver leur rythme dans la cage.<\/p>\n
