Son p\u00e8re et son fr\u00e8re ont mont\u00e9 leur propre salle, les Fighters Angels. C&rsquo;est l\u00e0 qu&rsquo;il commence le karat\u00e9 \u00e0 4 ans, puis encha\u00eene boxe, Muay Tha\u00ef, BJJ et wrestling. \u00c0 17 ans, au lieu de profiter de ses \u00e9t\u00e9s comme n&rsquo;importe quel ado, il part seul au Br\u00e9sil pour combattre. Il deviendra professionnel en 2014 \u2014 \u00e0 peine 17 ans.<\/p>\n<p>Son surnom, \u00ab\u00a0Angelo Veneziano\u00a0\u00bb (l&rsquo;ange v\u00e9nitien), colle \u00e0 sa ville natale. Son style de combat, lui, n&rsquo;a rien d&rsquo;ang\u00e9lique : 9 de ses 11 victoires sont venues par KO ou TKO, dont 9 finitions au premier round. Quand Zecchini trouve l&rsquo;ouverture, \u00e7a dure rarement longtemps.<\/p>\n<h3>Parcours r\u00e9gional : de l&rsquo;Italie \u00e0 Cage Warriors<\/h3>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s ses premiers combats sur les circuits italiens, il s&rsquo;impose rapidement sur Venator FC \u2014 la principale promotion de MMA en Italie. Le 16 mai 2021, il bat Souk Khampasath par KO au premier round (Venator FC 11). En octobre 2022, il r\u00e8gle le compte d&rsquo;Abou Tounkara en 36 secondes au deuxi\u00e8me round (Venator FC 12). En parall\u00e8le, il tente Cage Warriors en mars 2019 face \u00e0 Danny Mathiasen \u2014 une d\u00e9faite aux coups de poing en R2 qui lui donne la mesure du niveau continental.<\/p>\n<p>C&rsquo;est \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode qu&rsquo;il traverse l&rsquo;Atlantique pour rejoindre la Jackson-Wink MMA Academy \u00e0 Albuquerque, le camp de Greg Jackson et Mike Winkeljohn. Le m\u00eame camp qui a form\u00e9 Jon Jones, Carlos Condit ou Holly Holm. Grosse d\u00e9cision pour un fighter r\u00e9gional europ\u00e9en.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC : deux combats, deux K.-O. encaiss\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<p>Zecchini d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC en septembre 2023 pour UFC Paris \u2014 un choc contre le Fran\u00e7ais Morgan Charri\u00e8re, lui aussi \u00e0 son premier combat dans l&rsquo;octogone. Le public de l&rsquo;Accor Arena est derri\u00e8re Charri\u00e8re, mais Zecchini a le palmar\u00e8s de finisseur. C&rsquo;est pourtant l&rsquo;Italien qui prend le coup de circuit : un kick dans le corps d\u00e9vastateur de Charri\u00e8re l&rsquo;envoie au sol au R1 (3:51). D\u00e9faite KO \u00e0 domicile du French Dream \u2014 pas le sc\u00e9nario attendu.<\/p>\n<p>Son retour dans l&rsquo;octogone a lieu le 4 avril 2026 \u00e0 Las Vegas, UFC Vegas 115, face \u00e0 Tommy McMillen \u2014 un Am\u00e9ricain invaincu qui d\u00e9butait \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC. Zecchini encaisse un genou brutal et s&rsquo;incline \u00e0 nouveau par TKO au premier round (3:57). Les deux d\u00e9faites UFC sont venues dans le m\u00eame round, de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on : un coup propre, une fin rapide.<\/p>\n<h3>Record et statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Bilan : 11 victoires (9 KO\/TKO, 1 soumission, 1 d\u00e9cision), 5 d\u00e9faites. \u00c0 29 ans, Zecchini est toujours sous contrat UFC en poids plume (145 lbs). Il reste l&rsquo;un des finisseurs les plus prolifiques de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration sur le circuit europ\u00e9en, m\u00eame si la transition vers l&rsquo;octogone n&rsquo;a pas encore donn\u00e9 les r\u00e9sultats attendus. Avec une telle statistique de finition, le potentiel est l\u00e0 \u2014 il reste \u00e0 trouver le bon adversaire pour le montrer au niveau UFC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/manolo-zecchini\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/manolo-angelo-veneziano-zecchini\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lowkickmma.com\/morgan-charriere-zecchini-kick-ko-ufc-paris\/\">LowKickMMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manolo Zecchini, poids plume italien de l&rsquo;UFC, surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Angelo Veneziano\u00a0\u00bb : 11 victoires dont 9 KO\/TKO, deux apparitions dans l&rsquo;octogone, finisseur redoutable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102610,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69975],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105106","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-featherweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
