Melissa \u00ab\u00a0Super Mely\u00a0\u00bb Martinez : la kickboxeuse mexicaine qui frappe haut \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

De Mexico City \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Melissa Lisset Martinez Aceves est n\u00e9e le 18 ao\u00fbt 1997 \u00e0 Mexico City. Fille de sp\u00e9cialistes du kickboxing, elle grandit dans les salles de frappe avant m\u00eame d’aller \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole primaire. Rien d’\u00e9tonnant \u00e0 ce qu’elle devienne, en novembre 2021 \u00e0 Jesolo (Italie), championne du monde WAKO en -52 kg, apr\u00e8s avoir battu en finale la Slovaque Monika Chochlikova au terme d’un tournoi o\u00f9 elle a aussi \u00e9limin\u00e9 des repr\u00e9sentantes de la Pologne et d’Isra\u00ebl. Elle d\u00e9croche au passage le prix de meilleure combattante f\u00e9minine de la comp\u00e9tition. Avant \u00e7a, elle avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 remport\u00e9 l’argent aux World Games 2017 \u00e0 Wroclaw et \u00e9t\u00e9 sacr\u00e9e championne panam\u00e9ricaine \u00e0 deux reprises, en plus de six titres nationaux mexicains. Autant dire qu’en pied-poing, \u00ab\u00a0Super Mely\u00a0\u00bb n’est pas l\u00e0 pour faire de la figuration.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten en Combate Global<\/h3>\n

Sa transition vers le MMA d\u00e9marre le 14 mai 2016 : elle exp\u00e9die Iliana Rodriguez en 57 secondes, KO au premier round \u00e0 l’Xtreme Kombat 32. La suite suit la m\u00eame logique. En Combate Global (CAMMA), elle encha\u00eene sept victoires dont cinq par KO\/TKO, dont un head kick propre sur Yajaira Romo en juin 2017 et un genou-poings sur Caroline Gallardo en 50 secondes chrono en avril 2019. Elle conquiert la ceinture Combate Global des poids paille et la d\u00e9fend en d\u00e9cembre 2019 face \u00e0 Desiree Yanez aux points. Record \u00e0 la signature avec l’UFC : 7 victoires, 0 d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n

Le style de frappe<\/h3>\n

Martinez Aceves est une frappante pure. Ses cinq finishes en MMA passent tous par les coups \u2014 head kicks, corps, combinaisons \u2014 sans le moindre recours \u00e0 la soumission. Sa frappe de pr\u00e9dilection, c’est le high kick, ce qui n’est pas une surprise pour une ancienne championne du monde de kickboxing. Avec 47 % de pr\u00e9cision aux frappes en UFC, elle impose un rythme de striker et cherche constamment la finition debout.<\/p>\n

Parcours \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Son d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC ont lieu le 10 septembre 2022 \u00e0 l’UFC 279 (Las Vegas), face \u00e0 Elise Reed. L’Am\u00e9ricaine l’emporte aux points sur trois rounds \u2014 premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite professionnelle pour \u00ab\u00a0Super Mely\u00a0\u00bb, apr\u00e8s sept combats sans encaisser la moindre d\u00e9faite. Elle revient deux ans plus tard, le 19 octobre 2024, et domine Alice Ardelean sur toute la dur\u00e9e (30-27, 30-27, 30-27 aux tableaux). Le 12 juillet 2025 \u00e0 Nashville, face \u00e0 Fatima Kline, la machine s’arr\u00eate net au troisi\u00e8me round sur un head kick encaiss\u00e9 \u00e0 2:36 \u2014 un mode de finition qu’elle inflige d’ordinaire \u00e0 ses adversaires. Bilan UFC : 1 victoire, 2 d\u00e9faites. La route reste longue, mais le niveau de frappe ne fait aucun doute.<\/p>\n

Hors des rings<\/h3>\n

Melissa Martinez Aceves est dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e en chimie alimentaire et a enseign\u00e9 les arts martiaux avant de se consacrer pleinement \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle. Elle s’entra\u00eene au Bonebreakers gym de Mexico City, sous la direction de ses parents. En octobre 2021, les World Games l’avaient d\u00e9sign\u00e9e athl\u00e8te du mois \u2014 une reconnaissance qui dit beaucoup sur son niveau en pied-poing avant m\u00eame ses d\u00e9buts m\u00e9diatis\u00e9s \u00e0 l’UFC.<\/p>\n
