Carlos \u00ab\u00a0The Lion\u00a0\u00bb Leal : le lion de Curitiba qui rugit \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

De la perte \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Carlos Alberto Leal Miranda est n\u00e9 le 4 mai 1994 \u00e0 Curitiba, au Paran\u00e1 \u2014 une ville qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 produit Anderson Silva et Maur\u00edcio \u00ab\u00a0Shogun\u00a0\u00bb Rua. Il commence les arts martiaux adolescent, apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de son p\u00e8re : au d\u00e9part, frapper et s’entra\u00eener c’est une fa\u00e7on de tenir debout. La passion suit. Il encha\u00eene les titres amateurs dans sa ville : champion d’\u00c9tat de jiu-jitsu (blanc, bleu, violet), champion d’\u00c9tat de boxe, champion d’\u00c9tat de lutte, et sacr\u00e9 champion br\u00e9silien de Muay Thai sous la direction du Grand Master F\u00e1bio Noguchi. Une base technique qui ne fait pas de lui un \u00ab\u00a0touche-\u00e0-tout\u00a0\u00bb mais un frappeur complet, avec une vraie ceinture noire en Muay Thai et une ceinture marron en BJJ dans les bagages.<\/p>\n

Le parcours qui m\u00e8ne \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Il passe professionnel le 6 octobre 2012 \u00e0 18 ans et construit son nom loin des grands projecteurs, dans les circuits r\u00e9gionaux br\u00e9siliens et nord-am\u00e9ricains. C’est en LFA qu’il impose clairement sa marque : 3 victoires, 0 d\u00e9faite, et la ceinture welter. Il est m\u00eame le seul champion LFA \u00e0 avoir remport\u00e9 deux combats la m\u00eame nuit. La PFL lui offre une sc\u00e8ne internationale, et il s’y retrouve 5 fois vainqueur sur 7 sorties, dont un r\u00e9sultat marquant le 6 mai 2022 \u00e0 PFL 3 : il domine Ray Cooper III par d\u00e9cision unanime (30-26, 30-27, 29-27), alors que Cooper \u00e9tait le champion en titre \u00e0 double m\u00e9daille PFL. Leal neutralise ses tentatives de mise au sol, \u00e9crase le corps \u00e0 coups de pieds et de genoux, et impose son rythme pendant trois rounds.<\/p>\n

L’UFC : des d\u00e9buts solides, des allers-retours intenses<\/h3>\n

L’octogone lui ouvre ses portes le 26 octobre 2024 \u00e0 l’UFC 308, face \u00e0 Rinat Fakhretdinov. Il conc\u00e8de une d\u00e9faite aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime sur trois rounds. La r\u00e9ponse arrive six mois plus tard \u00e0 l’UFC 313, le 8 mars 2025 : il d\u00e9mant\u00e8le Alex Morono en 4 minutes 16 au premier round, variant les attaques au corps et en haut, clouant l’Am\u00e9ricain contre la cage jusqu’\u00e0 l’arr\u00eat de l’arbitre. Son premier KO\/TKO \u00e0 l’UFC, et le genre de finish qu’on ne visionne pas qu’une seule fois. La chute est rude ensuite : le 26 juillet 2025, Muslim Salikhov le refroidit en 42 secondes au premier round. Leal repart, revient le 22 f\u00e9vrier 2026 contre Chidi Njokuani et impose sa boxe pendant trois rounds, victoire aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime.<\/p>\n

Un lion qui presse<\/h3>\n

Leal s’entra\u00eene au Thai Brazil \u00e0 Curitiba. Son jeu repose sur une pression constante, des combinaisons mains-pieds nerveuses, et une capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 cibler le corps pour casser les adversaires avant de monter en t\u00eate. Sa d\u00e9fense contre les projections tient face aux lutteurs \u2014 Ray Cooper III en a fait l’exp\u00e9rience. Son bilan global est de 23 victoires pour 7 d\u00e9faites (dont 11 victoires par KO\/TKO), avec un bilan UFC de 2-2. \u00c0 32 ans, il est dans la pleine maturit\u00e9 d’un combattant qui a fait ses armes loin de l’Occident et qui n’a pas fini de montrer ce qu’il sait faire dans la division welter.<\/p>\n
