C&rsquo;est \u00e0 l&rsquo;universit\u00e9, sur invitation d&rsquo;un ami, qu&rsquo;il pose les pieds pour la premi\u00e8re fois dans une salle MMA \u00e0 Exeter, Californie \u2014 et il ne s&rsquo;arr\u00eate plus. Ce qui est moins ordinaire : pendant des ann\u00e9es, il jongle entre la cage et la salle de classe, enseignant l&rsquo;histoire et l&rsquo;\u00e9conomie au lyc\u00e9e El Diamante de Visalia avant de devenir prof d&rsquo;EPS et coach de lutte \u00e0 l&rsquo;Atascadero Middle School. Neuf ans d&rsquo;enseignement, trois enfants, et une carri\u00e8re de combattant professionnel en parall\u00e8le.<\/p>\n<h3>Les bases : lutte, BJJ et le coaching de Tom Knox<\/h3>\n<p>Gibson a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 son jeu sous la direction de Tom Knox \u00e0 l&rsquo;Elite Team Visalia, d\u00e9crochant une ceinture marron en jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien. Depuis 2020, il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene \u00e0 The Pit. Son profil : bantamweight (135 lbs), 1m78 d&rsquo;allonge 1m80 \u2014 un gabarit honn\u00eate dans la cat\u00e9gorie, mais un cardio et une activit\u00e9 qui lui permettent de rester dans les combats longtemps. Ses 7 victoires par KO\/TKO et ses 6 par soumission parlent pour lui.<\/p>\n<h3>Premier passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : une d\u00e9faite historique et un KO express<\/h3>\n<p>Le 22 f\u00e9vrier 2014, Cody Gibson d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 170 face \u00e0 un certain Aljamain Sterling \u2014 les d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone pour les deux hommes. Sterling s&rsquo;impose aux points apr\u00e8s trois rounds disput\u00e9s, dans un combat que le futur champion de la cat\u00e9gorie d\u00e9crit lui-m\u00eame comme \u00ab\u00a0un vrai va-et-vient\u00a0\u00bb. Pas une belle carte de visite sur le coup, mais r\u00e9trospectivement, tenir trois rounds face au futur ceintur\u00e9 est tout sauf une honte. Dans la foul\u00e9e, Gibson r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Johnny Bedford en 38 secondes chrono par TKO. Apr\u00e8s deux d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives, il quitte l&rsquo;UFC peu apr\u00e8s 2015.<\/p>\n<h3>TUF 31 et le retour sous les projecteurs en 2023<\/h3>\n<p>Huit ans de circuit ind\u00e9pendant, des titres r\u00e9gionaux (TPF Bantamweight, UNF Bantamweight), et Gibson revient frapper \u00e0 la porte de l&rsquo;UFC via The Ultimate Fighter saison 31, en 2023. Il passe les tours, \u00e9limine des prospects et se retrouve en finale \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 292 \u00e0 Boston, le 19 ao\u00fbt 2023, face au Canadien Brad Katona. Pendant trois rounds, les deux hommes s&rsquo;\u00e9changent 303 coups significatifs sur pied. Gibson prend des dommages autour de l&rsquo;\u0153il droit en cours de route et s&rsquo;incline aux points (scorecards 30-27 et deux fois 29-28). Katona devient le premier double champion TUF de l&rsquo;histoire. Le combat repart avec le bonus Fight of the Night \u2014 et Gibson repart avec un contrat UFC, ce qui \u00e9tait l&rsquo;objectif.<\/p>\n<h3>Depuis 2024 : des hauts et des bas en UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Avec son contrat en poche, Gibson continue \u00e0 se battre au plus haut niveau. En juillet 2024, il soumet Brian Kelleher. En novembre 2024, il prend une d\u00e9cision unanime contre Chad Anheliger. Mais 2025 est plus difficile : soumission en fin de deuxi\u00e8me round face \u00e0 Da&rsquo;Mon Blackshear en mars, puis KO en 21 secondes par Aoriqileng en octobre 2025. \u00c0 38 ans, le bilan UFC tourne autour du 3-7 \u2014 les chiffres ne refl\u00e8tent pas forc\u00e9ment la qualit\u00e9 de l&rsquo;opposition, lui qui a crois\u00e9 Sterling alors que personne ne savait encore qui serait Sterling.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cody_Gibson\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/cody-gibson\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2023\/08\/19\/ufc-292-brad-katona-cody-gibson\/\">CageSidePress<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cody \u00ab\u00a0The Renegade\u00a0\u00bb Gibson, bantamweight UFC n\u00e9 en 1987, ex-prof d&rsquo;histoire californien et finaliste TUF 31 (2023).
