Julianna Pe\u00f1a \u2014 \u00ab\u00a0The Venezuelan Vixen\u00a0\u00bb<\/h2>\n

Celle qui a renvers\u00e9 l’invincible<\/h3>\n

Le 11 d\u00e9cembre 2021, \u00e0 l’UFC 269, Julianna Pe\u00f1a a fait ce que personne ne croyait possible : soumettre Amanda Nunes au deuxi\u00e8me round par rear-naked choke. Nunes n’avait pas perdu depuis 2014. C’est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 ce jour comme l’un des plus grands upsets de l’histoire de l’UFC. Pe\u00f1a, elle, en avait fait une certitude bien avant que les paris ne s’\u00e9crivent.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9e le 19 ao\u00fbt 1989 \u00e0 Spokane, dans l’\u00c9tat de Washington, elle grandit avec des origines mexicaines et v\u00e9n\u00e9zu\u00e9liennes \u2014 d’o\u00f9 le surnom \u00ab\u00a0The Venezuelan Vixen\u00a0\u00bb qu’elle porte depuis ses d\u00e9buts. Elle commence le kick-boxing en octobre 2008 et signe son premier combat professionnel en mai 2009.<\/p>\n

TUF 18 : la premi\u00e8re femme \u00e0 gagner<\/h3>\n

Le grand public MMA la d\u00e9couvre en 2013 lors de The Ultimate Fighter 18, la premi\u00e8re saison \u00e0 accueillir des femmes dans le tournoi principal. Pe\u00f1a remporte la finale le 30 novembre 2013 \u00e0 Las Vegas contre Jessica Rakoczy, TKO \u00e0 4:59 du premier round, sous les coups de poing au sol. Elle devient ainsi la toute premi\u00e8re femme \u00e0 remporter le titre dans l’histoire du show. Ce n’est pas une anecdote \u2014 c’est une place dans les livres.<\/p>\n

Sa progression dans l’UFC n’est pas un long fleuve tranquille. En 2014, une blessure s\u00e9v\u00e8re au genou la cloue sur la table d’op\u00e9ration : rupture des ligaments crois\u00e9 ant\u00e9rieur, lat\u00e9ral interne, lat\u00e9ral externe, et l\u00e9sion m\u00e9niscale. Elle revient en 2015, sans abdiquer un centim\u00e8tre de son intensit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Style : grapplings et chiens de garde<\/h3>\n

Pe\u00f1a est ceinture noire de JJB, et \u00e7a se voit sur le tapis. Elle a conclu 6 de ses victoires professionnelles par soumission, dont des omoplatas et des rear-naked chokes. S’entra\u00eenant au gym SikJitsu \u00e0 Spokane, elle associe un jeu au sol dangereux \u00e0 une pression debout qui force les \u00e9changes. Son taux de r\u00e9ussite au takedown tourne autour de 55 %. Elle n’attend pas que les occasions tombent \u2014 elle les cr\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Deux r\u00e8gnes, deux batailles contre Nunes<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9croch\u00e9 la ceinture des poids coq f\u00e9minins \u00e0 l’UFC 269, Pe\u00f1a la perd en revanche face \u00e0 Amanda Nunes \u00e0 l’UFC 277 le 30 juillet 2022 \u2014 Nunes rectifie le tir et reprend sa ceinture par d\u00e9cision unanime. Le premier r\u00e8gne avait dur\u00e9 sept mois.<\/p>\n

Elle rebondit et reconstruit. Le 5 octobre 2024, \u00e0 l’UFC 307, elle bat Raquel Pennington par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e pour regagner le titre. Deux fois championne UFC, deux fois pass\u00e9e par le feu.<\/p>\n

UFC 316 : la fin du deuxi\u00e8me r\u00e8gne<\/h3>\n

Le 7 juin 2025 \u00e0 Newark (New Jersey), Pe\u00f1a d\u00e9fend sa ceinture face \u00e0 Kayla Harrison. Harrison, double championne olympique de judo convertie au MMA, la soumet par kimura \u00e0 4:55 du deuxi\u00e8me round \u00e0 l’UFC 316. Pe\u00f1a quitte l’octogone avec un record professionnel de 13 victoires et 6 d\u00e9faites, toujours class\u00e9e num\u00e9ro 1 de la division et num\u00e9ro 9 au classement livre pour livre f\u00e9minin de l’UFC.<\/p>\n

Ce n’est pas le genre de carri\u00e8re qui se r\u00e9sume \u00e0 des chiffres. C’est celle d’une combattante qui a refus\u00e9 de jouer le r\u00f4le de la challenger gentille le soir du plus grand upset de sa division.<\/p>\n
