Sa lign\u00e9e de catch est presque historique : Billy Riley, puis Roy Wood, puis Shane Rigby (triple m\u00e9daill\u00e9 aux Jeux du Commonwealth en catch am\u00e9ricain), et enfin lui. Ce bagage de lutteur old school, c&rsquo;est ce qui d\u00e9finit tout ce qu&rsquo;il fait dans la cage.<\/p>\n<p>Il repr\u00e9sente l&rsquo;Angleterre et la Grande-Bretagne sur les tatamis internationaux d\u00e8s 2009, quand il participe aux Championnats du monde de lutte. En 2010, il finit 5e aux Jeux du Commonwealth. Et en 2014, \u00e0 Glasgow, il d\u00e9croche le bronze au 74 kg en lutte libre \u2014 la m\u00e9daille qui scelle sa valeur sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale avant qu&rsquo;il bifurque s\u00e9rieusement vers le MMA.<\/p>\n<h3>La transition MMA et les ann\u00e9es de mont\u00e9e en puissance<\/h3>\n<p>Grundy tourne professionnel en 2014. Il construit son palmar\u00e8s principalement dans les promotions britanniques BAMMA et ACB, accumulant les victoires par soumission \u2014 guillotine, triangle d&rsquo;\u00e9paule, choke brabo \u2014 qui refl\u00e8tent sa polyvalence grappling : il est ceinture noire de Luta Livre et ceinture marron de BJJ en plus de son bagage lutte. En novembre 2017, il s&#8217;empare de la ceinture vacante des poids plume de l&rsquo;Aspera FC. \u00c0 l&rsquo;or\u00e9e de sa carri\u00e8re UFC, il affiche 11 victoires pour 1 d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC : un d\u00e9but canon, une fin difficile<\/h3>\n<p>Le 16 mars 2019 \u00e0 Londres, Mike Grundy fait ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC contre Nad Narimani. Il r\u00e8gle l&rsquo;affaire au 2e round par TKO \u2014 entr\u00e9e remarqu\u00e9e pour le grappler de Wigan. Mais la suite tourne moins bien. Le 25 juillet 2020, face \u00e0 Movsar Evloev \u2014 un Russe lui aussi port\u00e9 sur la lutte \u2014 il s&rsquo;incline aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime. En mai 2021 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 262, il conc\u00e8de une d\u00e9faite aux points par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e contre Lando Vannata. Et le 19 mars 2022, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night Volkov vs. Aspinall, c&rsquo;est Makwan Amirkhani qui l&rsquo;\u00e9touffe au 1er round par soumission. Trois d\u00e9faites de suite, et la promotion le lib\u00e8re en mai 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Il annonce sa retraite le 27 avril 2024, avec un bilan professionnel final de 12 victoires et 4 d\u00e9faites. \u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC, son record s&rsquo;arr\u00eate \u00e0 1-3.<\/p>\n<h3>Style : le sol d&rsquo;abord, toujours<\/h3>\n<p>Grundy est un grappler dans l&rsquo;\u00e2me. 8 de ses 12 victoires pro sont venues par soumission. Son striking reste honn\u00eate \u2014 45 % de pr\u00e9cision \u2014 mais c&rsquo;est quand il am\u00e8ne le combat au sol que les choses deviennent dangereuses pour l&rsquo;adversaire. Sa limite \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, visible dans les stats, c&rsquo;est son ratio strikes absorb\u00e9s : 4,45 coups significatifs encaiss\u00e9s par minute, un chiffre qui traduit les difficult\u00e9s rencontr\u00e9es face \u00e0 des adversaires de ce niveau en position debout.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Grundy\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/mike-grundy\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Grundy, lutteur anglais de Wigan m\u00e9daill\u00e9 aux Jeux du Commonwealth 2014, a combattu en poids plume UFC (record pro 12-4).
