Ahmad Hassanzada \u2014 Le Lion qui n’a jamais combattu \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

N\u00e9 le 25 novembre 1995 en Afghanistan, Ahmad Sohail Hassanzada a grandi pour devenir l’un des prospects les plus intrigants du circuit lightweight am\u00e9ricain. \u00c0 6’1″ (186 cm) pour une envergure quasi identique, il a b\u00e2ti un record de 12 victoires et 3 d\u00e9faites avec un taux de finition de 92 % \u2014 chiffre qui ne ment pas sur la nature de son MMA.<\/p>\n

Des d\u00e9buts afghans au circuit am\u00e9ricain<\/h3>\n

Sa carri\u00e8re d\u00e9marre en Afghanistan d\u00e8s 2016, sur les cartes locales Hosharafu FC. Il encha\u00eene cinq victoires cons\u00e9cutives sur ce circuit r\u00e9gional \u2014 toutes par finish \u2014 avant de se frotter au niveau europ\u00e9en fin 2019. C’est l\u00e0 qu’il prend sa premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite, stopp\u00e9 au premier round face \u00e0 Petr Birko en d\u00e9cembre 2019 lors de NFG 14. La le\u00e7on est retenue : il rejoint Team Alpha Male \u00e0 Sacramento, le gym d’Urijah Faber, et repart de z\u00e9ro.<\/p>\n

De retour en 2021, il aligne des victoires par soumission en TGFC avant d’int\u00e9grer la LFA. En f\u00e9vrier 2022, il bat James Wilson par d\u00e9cision \u00e0 LFA 124 et atteint 8-1. L’UFC est dans le viseur, et il tente sa chance \u00e0 la Contender Series d\u00e8s ao\u00fbt 2022 \u2014 il y tombe face \u00e0 Nazim Sadykhov, stopp\u00e9 par un crochet droit au troisi\u00e8me round. Retour \u00e0 la case d\u00e9part, puis une nouvelle d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Josh Streacker \u00e0 LFA 153 en f\u00e9vrier 2023 fait douter de sa trajectoire (9-2).<\/p>\n

Le rebond et la Contender Series saison 8<\/h3>\n

La r\u00e9ponse est venue par trois victoires cons\u00e9cutives. D’abord un kneebar au premier round face \u00e0 Chasen Blair \u00e0 Cage Warriors 165 en d\u00e9cembre 2023. Puis un ground and pound en fin de troisi\u00e8me round contre Aleko Sagliani en mars 2024 (Tuff-N-Uff 136). Hassanzada se pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 nouveau \u00e0 la Contender Series le 17 septembre 2024, cette fois-ci en saison 8 semaine 6, face \u00e0 Dylan Mantello.<\/p>\n

Le combat illustre bien ses qualit\u00e9s et ses limites : dominateur \u00e0 la lutte en premier round, il encaisse un bon droit en d\u00e9but de deuxi\u00e8me et commence \u00e0 souffrir. Mais il ne l\u00e2che pas. Au troisi\u00e8me, il impose une clinch, passe dans le dos de Mantello et conclut par un rear-naked choke \u00e0 2:41. Contrat UFC sign\u00e9 \u2014 il est le seul des cinq combattants de la carte \u00e0 repartir avec.<\/p>\n

Style de combat<\/h3>\n

Hassanzada est avant tout un finisseur. Cinq KO\/TKO, six soumissions sur douze victoires, avec une vraie polyvalence : rear-naked choke, kneebar, ground and pound. Sa gestion du danger debout est perfectible \u2014 les deux stoppages qu’il a subis en carri\u00e8re sont venus des poings \u2014 mais \u00e0 la lutte et au sol, il a la capacit\u00e9 de terminer les combats \u00e0 tout moment.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Ahmad Hassanzada a \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9 \u00e0 Sacramento en avril 2025, \u00e0 quelques jours de ce qui devait \u00eatre ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC \u00e0 Kansas City face \u00e0 Mitch Ramirez. Il fait face \u00e0 plusieurs chefs d’accusation pour actes sexuels sur mineur. L’UFC l’a imm\u00e9diatement retir\u00e9 du roster. \u00c0 la date de r\u00e9daction de cette fiche, la proc\u00e9dure judiciaire est en cours.<\/p>\n
