Welter russe d&rsquo;origine tatare (n\u00e9 le 28 septembre 1991 dans la R\u00e9publique de Mordovie), surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Gladiator\u00a0\u00bb, il a align\u00e9 les performances sans jamais perdre dans l&rsquo;octogone, avant de se retrouver agent libre fin d\u00e9cembre 2025.<\/p>\n<h3>Du sambo aux portes de l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Fakhretdinov passe professionnel en 2013. Son socle, c&rsquo;est le sambo combat, compl\u00e9t\u00e9 par la lutte libre et le k\u016bdo \u2014 un m\u00e9lange typiquement russe qui forge des combattants \u00e0 l&rsquo;aise debout comme au sol. Le tout premier combat de sa carri\u00e8re, le 5 juin 2013 face \u00e0 Aigun Akhmedov, se solde par sa seule et unique d\u00e9faite. Tout ce qui suit sera une longue s\u00e9rie de succ\u00e8s : il encha\u00eene les victoires sur le circuit r\u00e9gional, d\u00e9croche au passage une ceinture de champion (GFC), et b\u00e2tit une r\u00e9putation de finisseur qui finit par taper \u00e0 la porte de l&rsquo;UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Une int\u00e9gration UFC sans fausse note<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts dans l&rsquo;octogone tombent le 4 juin 2022 : d\u00e9cision unanime contre Andreas Michailidis. Il confirme le 17 d\u00e9cembre 2022 face \u00e0 Bryan Battle, toujours aux points. Mais c&rsquo;est le 1er juillet 2023 que le grand public le rep\u00e8re vraiment : il \u00e9trangle Kevin Lee \u00e0 la guillotine en moins d&rsquo;une minute (55 secondes au premier round), un finish net contre un nom connu de la division.<\/p>\n<p>Le 4 novembre 2023, sa marche en avant cale sans casser : match nul majoritaire contre le coriace Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. Il repart de l&rsquo;avant en 2024 avec deux d\u00e9cisions, une partag\u00e9e contre Nicolas Dalby (22 juin) puis une unanime contre Carlos Leal (26 octobre). Sa derni\u00e8re sortie, le 6 septembre 2025, est sa plus exp\u00e9ditive : TKO sur frappes contre Andreas Gustafsson en moins d&rsquo;une minute.<\/p>\n<h3>Le style : pression, lutte, et mains lourdes<\/h3>\n<p>Le profil de Fakhretdinov raconte un combattant complet et orient\u00e9 finish. Sur l&rsquo;ensemble de sa carri\u00e8re, douze de ses victoires arrivent par KO\/TKO et six par soumission, avec quatorze finitions au premier round. Sa d\u00e9fense de takedown fr\u00f4le l&rsquo;irr\u00e9el (92 % selon l&rsquo;UFC), logique pour un sambiste-lutteur qui d\u00e9cide o\u00f9 le combat se d\u00e9roule. Debout, il mise sur la pression et des mains lourdes plut\u00f4t que sur le volume. Pour ses 1,83 m et 188 cm d&rsquo;allonge, il fait partie de ces fighters difficiles \u00e0 dominer dans un seul domaine.<\/p>\n<h3>Invaincu en UFC, mais agent libre<\/h3>\n<p>Au moment de quitter l&rsquo;UFC, son bilan dans l&rsquo;organisation est de six victoires pour un nul, et son record global s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 24 victoires, 1 d\u00e9faite et 1 nul. Le 22 d\u00e9cembre 2025, plusieurs m\u00e9dias rapportent qu&rsquo;il a termin\u00e9 son contrat sans \u00eatre re-sign\u00e9 par la promotion \u2014 un sort surprenant pour un combattant jamais battu dans l&rsquo;octogone. \u00c0 34 ans, le \u00ab\u00a0Gladiator\u00a0\u00bb tatar aborde donc 2026 en agent libre, avec un palmar\u00e8s qui parle pour lui.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rinat_Fakhretdinov\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/rinat-fakhretdinov\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rinat \u00ab\u00a0Gladiator\u00a0\u00bb Fakhretdinov, welter russe d&rsquo;origine tatare : un sambiste invaincu \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC (6-0-1), sa guillotine sur Kevin Lee et son statut d&rsquo;agent libre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":101954,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69976],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104557","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-welterweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
