Mairon \u00ab\u00a0The Legend\u00a0\u00bb Santos : le kid de Duque de Caxias qui cartonne \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

\u00c0 12 ans, Mairon Santos voit sa carri\u00e8re de footballeur s’\u00e9teindre \u00e0 cause d’une blessure au pied. C’est devant sa t\u00e9l\u00e9, en regardant Anderson Silva dominer Chael Sonnen, qu’il trouve sa nouvelle vocation. Un pote l’emm\u00e8ne \u00e0 son premier cours de MMA et c’est r\u00e9gl\u00e9. N\u00e9 le 10 juin 2000 \u00e0 Duque de Caxias, dans la banlieue nord de Rio de Janeiro, il d\u00e9bute en pro \u00e0 19 ans et empile les victoires dans les circuits br\u00e9siliens, Shooto Brazil puis LFA.<\/p>\n

Avant l’UFC : la seule d\u00e9faite de sa carri\u00e8re<\/h3>\n

Santos file jusqu’\u00e0 12-0 avant de croiser Dan Argueta en main event LFA en f\u00e9vrier 2022. Premi\u00e8re (et seule) d\u00e9faite. Il r\u00e9pond avec une victoire aux points sur Rafael Barbosa, puis part tenter l’aventure TUF 32. Il arrive \u00e0 l’\u00e9mission avec un record de 15-1, solide, mais encore loin des radars.<\/p>\n

TUF 32 : victoire dans la maison, KO pour la finale<\/h3>\n

Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 \u00e0 la Team Grasso dans la division poids plume, Santos passe deux tests dans la maison. D’abord une victoire aux points en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e contre Edwin Cooper Jr., o\u00f9 il montre d\u00e9j\u00e0 sa combinaison striking-wrestling. Ensuite un 15 minutes en s\u00e9mi-finale contre Guillermo Torres, sorti comme rempla\u00e7ant de derni\u00e8re minute. En finale le 24 ao\u00fbt 2024 \u00e0 l’UFC APEX, il conclut en beaut\u00e9 : crochet du gauche foudroyant sur Kaan Ofli, KO au round 2, \u00e0 1 minute 30. Contrat UFC en poche.<\/p>\n

Style : frappeur bien dans ses mains<\/h3>\n

Santos est catalogu\u00e9 frappeur, et les chiffres confirment : huit victoires par KO sur 18, une cadence de 3,33 coups significatifs par minute, 66 % de d\u00e9fense aux frappes. Il n’est pas que percussion \u2014 ses deux combats dans la maison ont montr\u00e9 un wrestling cr\u00e9dible. Sa port\u00e9e de 72 pouces pour 5’7″ lui donne du fil \u00e0 retordre \u00e0 ses adversaires au corps \u00e0 corps.<\/p>\n

Quatre combats \u00e0 l’UFC, quatre victoires<\/h3>\n

Depuis la finale TUF, Santos ne s’est pas arr\u00eat\u00e9. En mars 2025 \u00e0 l’UFC 313, il arrache une d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e sur Francis Marshall apr\u00e8s trois rounds serr\u00e9s. Deux mois plus tard, le 17 mai 2025 \u00e0 Vegas, il domine Sodiq Yusuff aux points sur l’ensemble des trois rounds (unanimit\u00e9). Puis \u00e0 l’UFC 323 le 6 d\u00e9cembre 2025, il r\u00e8gle Muhammad Naimov en 21 secondes du troisi\u00e8me round, TKO sur pluie de coups. Bilan UFC : 4-0, avec un record global mont\u00e9 \u00e0 18-1.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 25 ans, Santos est l’une des mont\u00e9es les plus s\u00e9rieuses des poids plume UFC. Invaincu dans l’Octogone, avec une s\u00e9rie de 7 victoires cons\u00e9cutives, il frappe \u00e0 la porte du Top 15. Son parcours \u2014 foot rat\u00e9, circuit br\u00e9silien obscur, une seule d\u00e9faite en 19 combats, TUF gagn\u00e9 au KO \u2014 est celui d’un gars qui avance \u00e0 son rythme et qui finit par faire parler de lui.<\/p>\n
