Michael \u00ab\u00a0Maverick\u00a0\u00bb Chiesa, le \u00e9trangleur de Spokane qui a tir\u00e9 sa r\u00e9v\u00e9rence en beaut\u00e9<\/h2>\n

Le 28 mars 2026, \u00e0 la Climate Pledge Arena de Seattle, Michael Chiesa entre dans la cage \u00e0 quelques kilom\u00e8tres de l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il a grandi, annonce que c’est son dernier combat, et r\u00e8gle l’affaire en 1 minute et 3 secondes : \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re sur Niko Price, et rideau. Difficile de r\u00eaver mieux comme derni\u00e8re page. C’est exactement le combattant qu’a \u00e9t\u00e9 Chiesa pendant quinze ans : un grappler patient qui t’am\u00e8ne au sol et te ferme la lumi\u00e8re au cou.<\/p>\n

Du plateau de TUF au roster UFC<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 7 d\u00e9cembre 1987 \u00e0 Aurora (Colorado) et form\u00e9 \u00e0 la Sik-Jitsu de Spokane (Washington), Chiesa se fait conna\u00eetre du grand public en remportant la saison 15 de The Ultimate Fighter en 2012, avec un \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re sur Al Iaquinta en finale. C’est sa signature d\u00e8s le d\u00e9part : le rear-naked choke. Ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien, il b\u00e2tit toute sa carri\u00e8re sur le combat au sol et la chasse au dos.<\/p>\n

Un palmar\u00e8s qui parle grappling<\/h3>\n

Chiesa termine avec un bilan professionnel de 20 victoires pour 7 d\u00e9faites, dont une majorit\u00e9 par soumission. C\u00f4t\u00e9 grosses prises : il soumet Carlos Condit \u00e0 l’UFC 232 en d\u00e9cembre 2018, bat Rafael dos Anjos aux points en janvier 2020, puis encha\u00eene en fin de carri\u00e8re deux finitions marquantes apr\u00e8s son passage en welterweight, dont une soumission rapide sur Tony Ferguson en ao\u00fbt 2024 et un \u00e9tranglement sur Max Griffin \u00e0 l’UFC 310 en d\u00e9cembre 2024.<\/p>\n

La route n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 lisse pour autant. Il encaisse des d\u00e9faites face \u00e0 du tr\u00e8s lourd : Jorge Masvidal en juillet 2013, Kevin Lee par soumission technique en juin 2017, et Anthony Pettis \u00e0 l’UFC 226 en juillet 2018. Des soirs difficiles, mais le genre d’adversit\u00e9 qui forge un v\u00e9t\u00e9ran.<\/p>\n

La sortie id\u00e9ale<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s une victoire aux points sur Court McGee le 14 juin 2025, Chiesa boucle la boucle face \u00e0 Niko Price le 28 mars 2026 \u00e0 Seattle, par \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re au premier round. Les deux hommes raccrochent les gants ce soir-l\u00e0. Chiesa quitte le sport sur une s\u00e9rie de quatre victoires, \u00e0 domicile, par soumission, devant les siens. Quand on parle de sortir par la grande porte, c’est la d\u00e9finition.<\/p>\n
