Gauge \u00ab\u00a0Gee Money\u00a0\u00bb Young : le gamin de Sedalia qui calcule tout<\/h2>\n

Sedalia, Missouri \u2014 l\u00e0 o\u00f9 tout a commenc\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Gauge Young est n\u00e9 le 14 juillet 2000 \u00e0 Sedalia, Missouri, une ville de 20 000 habitants \u00e0 l’\u00e9cart des grands circuits MMA. Il wrestle d\u00e8s ses 12 ans, encha\u00eene avec le kickboxing, et d\u00e9cide de tout mettre sur le MMA \u00e0 la sortie du lyc\u00e9e. C’est dans les salles de la r\u00e9gion Midwest qu’il forge son surnom \u00ab\u00a0Gee Money\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 h\u00e9ritage de ses ann\u00e9es football \u2014 avant de tourner pro en d\u00e9cembre 2020. Son gym de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence, Ignite Jiu-Jitsu & MMA, lui permet de monter au grade de ceinture violette en BJJ tout en d\u00e9veloppant une frappe percutante : six de ses onze victoires professionnelles tombent sur KO.<\/p>\n

Le chemin vers l’Octogone<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s quatre ans de circuit r\u00e9gional, Young s’offre la vitrine du Dana White’s Contender Series le 3 septembre 2024, saison 8, \u00e9pisode 4. Face \u00e0 l’Australien Quillan Salkilld, il perd aux points par d\u00e9cision unanime (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) et repart sans contrat. La r\u00e9ponse est imm\u00e9diate : en d\u00e9cembre 2024, il d\u00e9truit Eric Grant en deux rounds (KO, left hook \u00e0 0h11 du round 2) \u00e0 la Cable Dahmer Arena lors du FAC MMA 27, et pointe \u00e0 9-2 au compteur. Le travail paie : l’UFC l’appelle quand m\u00eame.<\/p>\n

Premiers pas dans la cour des grands<\/h3>\n

Son bapt\u00eame UFC arrive le 26-27 avril 2025 contre Evan Elder \u2014 un ex-partenaire d’entra\u00eenement \u2014 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night Machado Garry vs. Prates. Young conc\u00e8de une d\u00e9cision unanime, mais ne l\u00e2che rien. Le 23 ao\u00fbt 2025, il revient \u00e0 l’Octogone pour corriger Hayisaer Maheshate par d\u00e9cision unanime \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night Walker vs. Zhang. Deux combats plus tard, il est \u00e0 2-1 \u00e0 l’UFC.<\/p>\n

UFC Fight Night 273 \u2014 Winnipeg, avril 2026<\/h3>\n

Le 19 avril 2026 \u00e0 Winnipeg, Young entre dans un vrai battle contre Thiago Moises, v\u00e9t\u00e9ran br\u00e9silien de 16 combats \u00e0 l’UFC. Le r\u00e9sultat est serr\u00e9 \u2014 d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) \u2014 et controvers\u00e9, certains juges donnant l’avantage au contr\u00f4le au sol de Moises. Young assume le r\u00f4le du \u00ab\u00a0villain\u00a0\u00bb avec une composure froide. Bilan UFC : 2 victoires, 1 d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n

Style et lecture du jeu<\/h3>\n

Young est un frappeur qui r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit. 52 % de pr\u00e9cision en frappes significatives, 6,32 coups par minute en moyenne \u2014 des chiffres qui parlent d’un gars actif, pas brouillon. Il aime g\u00e9rer la distance et l’espace (\u00ab\u00a0a guy who understands range\u00a0\u00bb), et ses coachs sont deux v\u00e9t\u00e9rans UFC : Zak Cummings et Jason High. Son record total de 11-3-0 \u00e0 25 ans, avec cinq finishes au premier round, dit clairement qu’il ne vient pas faire de la figuration.<\/p>\n
