Luana Pinheiro : la judokate du Nordeste qui a troqu\u00e9 le tatami pour l’octogone<\/h2>\n

Du judo olympique au MMA<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 Jo\u00e3o Pessoa, dans le Nordeste br\u00e9silien, on ne parle pas de foot \u00e0 la maison des Pinheiro \u2014 on fait du judo. Luana a chauss\u00e9 son premier kimono \u00e0 deux ans, dans une famille enti\u00e8rement port\u00e9e sur le sport de combat. Son niveau en junior \u00e9tait suffisamment solide pour qu’elle quitte sa ville natale en 2011 et s’installe \u00e0 Belo Horizonte, avec un objectif clair : int\u00e9grer la s\u00e9lection olympique br\u00e9silienne. L’objectif ne se concr\u00e9tisera jamais, mais plut\u00f4t que de ranger ses habitudes de comp\u00e9titrice, elle se tourne vers le MMA fin 2015. Ceinture noire en judo, ceinture violette en jiu-jitsu \u2014 la base technique est l\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Circuits r\u00e9gionaux et perc\u00e9e internationale<\/h3>\n

Elle d\u00e9bute en octobre 2016 dans les circuits locaux de Belo Horizonte, encha\u00eene les victoires par soumission \u2014 guillotines, \u00e9tranglements \u2014 et s’exporte rapidement sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale avec Brave CF. En novembre 2019, elle r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Helen Harper via KO et affiche un bilan de 7 victoires pour 1 d\u00e9faite (un jugement aux points en mars 2017 contre Cris Macfer). Ce parcours lui ouvre les portes du Contender Series de Dana White.<\/p>\n

Ticket UFC via le Contender Series<\/h3>\n

Le 10 novembre 2020, Luana Pinheiro passe devant les cam\u00e9ras du Contender Series et ne laisse aucune chance \u00e0 Stephanie Frausto : TKO \u00e0 2 min 48 du premier round, coups de poing, contrat UFC sign\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e. Elle rejoint la division poids paille (115 lbs) et int\u00e8gre l’\u00e9quipe BH Rhinos.<\/p>\n

Parcours UFC : hauts, bas et s\u00e9ries<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC sont pittoresques : le 1er mai 2021, elle affronte Randa Markos et empoche une victoire par disqualification apr\u00e8s qu’un coup de pied lev\u00e9 ill\u00e9gal de son adversaire au sol met fin au combat. Quatre mois plus tard, en novembre 2021, elle domine Sam Hughes sur d\u00e9cision unanime et commence \u00e0 se construire un dossier. Apr\u00e8s une pause, elle monte le 8 avril 2023 \u00e0 UFC 287 et arrache une victoire sur split decision face \u00e0 Michelle Waterson-Gomez \u2014 son adversaire la plus c\u00f4t\u00e9e \u00e0 ce stade.<\/p>\n

La suite est plus difficile. En novembre 2023, Amanda Ribas la stoppe via coup de pied circulaire au troisi\u00e8me round \u2014 sa premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite par finish \u00e0 l’UFC. Elle encaisse ensuite une soumission d’Angela Hill (guillotine au deuxi\u00e8me round, mai 2024), puis deux d\u00e9faites aux points cons\u00e9cutives contre Gillian Robertson (novembre 2024) et Tecia Pennington (mai 2025). Quatre d\u00e9faites d’affil\u00e9e qui la renvoient dans le bas du classement de la division, \u00e0 11-5 au total.<\/p>\n

Le style<\/h3>\n

Son base game reste le grappling debout : seoi nage, entr\u00e9es en lutte, travail au sol \u2014 l’empreinte de quinze ans de judo est partout dans son MMA. Mais ses r\u00e9centes sorties montrent des lacunes dans la gestion des coups \u00e0 distance et la r\u00e9sistance aux soumissions adverses. Statistiquement, 40 % de pr\u00e9cision sur ses frappes significatives et 38 % de r\u00e9ussite sur ses mises au sol \u00e0 l’UFC \u2014 des chiffres corrects mais pas dominants dans une division dense.<\/p>\n

O\u00f9 elle en est<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 32 ans, Luana Pinheiro traverse la p\u00e9riode la plus d\u00e9licate de sa carri\u00e8re. Quatre d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives \u00e0 l’UFC, dont deux par finish, posent la question de l’adaptation de son jeu \u00e0 ce niveau. Elle reste une combattante dangereuse d\u00e8s lors que le combat passe au sol, mais son avenir dans la promotion d\u00e9pend de sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 stopper l’h\u00e9morragie rapidement.<\/p>\n
