Alex Perez : l’enfant de Hanford qui a frapp\u00e9 \u00e0 la porte du titre UFC<\/h2>\n

De la lutte universitaire \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 21 mars 1992 \u00e0 Hanford, en plein c\u0153ur de la Central Valley californienne, Alexander Salvador Perez a grandi dans une famille de huit enfants d’origine mexicaine. Il a mis les pieds sur un tapis de lutte au coll\u00e8ge, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de ses fr\u00e8res, et n’en est jamais vraiment sorti. Au West Hills College Lemoore, il devient lutteur All-American \u2014 le genre de titre r\u00e9gional qui forge un mental autant qu’une base technique. C’est cette ossature de lutteur qui structure tout son MMA depuis son premier combat pro en mai 2011.<\/p>\n

Le chemin vers le titre<\/h3>\n

Il passe par les circuits r\u00e9gionaux californiens et d\u00e9croche la ceinture du Tachi Palace Fights avant de taper \u00e0 la bonne porte : l’\u00e9t\u00e9 2017, il passe la Dana White’s Contender Series et obtient son contrat UFC en ao\u00fbt, en finissant Kevin Gray \u00e0 la soumission au premier round. Son premier passage \u00e0 l’octogone officiel en d\u00e9cembre 2017, et il encha\u00eene les victoires dans une division poids mouche (jusqu’\u00e0 56,7 kg) de plus en plus relev\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Le 6 juin 2020, \u00e0 l’UFC 250, il balaie Jussier Formiga en 4 minutes \u2014 un nom, une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence dans la cat\u00e9gorie. Ce KO-TKO lui ouvre la route du titre. Cinq mois plus tard, le 21 novembre 2020, Alex Perez affronte Deiveson Figueiredo pour la ceinture des poids mouches \u00e0 l’UFC 255. Le Br\u00e9silien lui claque une guillotine en 1 minute 57 au premier round. Amer, mais net.<\/p>\n

Les hauts et les bas d’une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 rebondissements<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9faite de titre, le parcours se complique. Alexandre Pantoja \u2014 qui deviendra lui-m\u00eame champion \u2014 l’\u00e9trangle en 91 secondes \u00e0 l’UFC 277 en juillet 2022. En mars 2023, Perez est contraint de se retirer d’un combat contre Manel Kape apr\u00e8s avoir subi une crise d’\u00e9pilepsie \u00e0 l’\u00e9chauffement \u2014 rien \u00e0 voir avec la coupe de poids, simplement l’un des coups durs qu’un combattant ne ma\u00eetrise pas.<\/p>\n

Son retour fracassant arrive le 27 avril 2024 : il explose Matheus Nicolau au deuxi\u00e8me round \u00e0 coups de droite overhand dans une performance qui lui vaut le bonus Performance of the Night. Deux mois plus tard, en juin 2024, une blessure au genou face \u00e0 Tatsuro Taira le force \u00e0 abandonner avant la fin. La carri\u00e8re d’Alex Perez a cette texture-l\u00e0 : des flamb\u00e9es suivies de turbulences, jamais de ligne droite.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s une d\u00e9faite par soumission (guillotine, round 3) face \u00e0 Asu Almabayev en novembre 2025 au Qatar, il rebondit en janvier 2026 en stoppant Charles Johnson par TKO au premier round. En mai 2026, son combat contre Su Mudaerji se termine en no contest sur coup bas accidentel au deuxi\u00e8me round. Record professionnel au 20 juin 2026 : 26 victoires, 10 d\u00e9faites, 1 no contest \u2014 class\u00e9 11e poids mouche UFC. Il s’entra\u00eene toujours \u00e0 Team Oyama, Lemoore, Californie.<\/p>\n
