Pas symboliquement \u2014 il ne per\u00e7oit qu&rsquo;environ 20 % des sons que capte une oreille humaine normale. \u00c7a veut dire que les conseils de son coin entre les rounds ? Il ne les entend pas. Il combat en autonomie totale, en lisant la situation avec ses yeux et ses jambes.<\/p>\n<h3>Des tatamis de lutte aux cages<\/h3>\n<p>Avant de poser les poings en MMA, Askarov a construit une base technique solide en lutte libre et en sambo de combat \u2014 deux disciplines o\u00f9 le Daghestan produit depuis des d\u00e9cennies des athl\u00e8tes d&rsquo;exception. Il atteint le grade de Ma\u00eetre International des Sports de Russie en lutte libre, et celui de Ma\u00eetre des Sports en Sambo de combat. Son pic paralympique : la m\u00e9daille d&rsquo;or aux Jeux Sourds-Olympiques 2017 \u00e0 Ankara, en cat\u00e9gorie -61 kg lutte libre \u2014 suivi d&rsquo;un bronze aux Championnats du Monde des Sourds 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Il d\u00e9bute en MMA le 7 juillet 2013, en soumetttant Shamil Amirov par rear-naked choke au deuxi\u00e8me round. La dynamique s&rsquo;installe vite : encha\u00eenement de stoppages, signature dans l&rsquo;ACB (Absolute Championship Berkut) en 2015, o\u00f9 il remporte le titre poids mouches inaugural et le d\u00e9fend deux fois. Onze victoires plus tard, l&rsquo;UFC vient frapper \u00e0 sa porte.<\/p>\n<h3>UFC : un d\u00e9but de dingue, une ascension presque parfaite<\/h3>\n<p>Sa premi\u00e8re apparition dans l&rsquo;Octogone, en ao\u00fbt 2019 au UFC Fight Night Rodriguez vs Stephens, contre Brandon Moreno \u2014 futur champion du monde poids mouches \u2014 se conclut par un match nul aux points en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e. Un r\u00e9sultat qui en dit long sur son niveau d&rsquo;entr\u00e9e : personne ne sort indemne face \u00e0 Moreno, et Askarov arrive en inconnu total.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuite, c&rsquo;est une s\u00e9rie propre. Il bat Tim Elliott aux points \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 246 en janvier 2020, puis domine Alexandre Pantoja \u2014 lui aussi futur champion \u2014 par d\u00e9cision unanime en juillet 2021. Deux mois plus tard, en septembre 2021, il r\u00e8gle le cas de Joseph Benavidez, ancien pr\u00e9tendant au titre, m\u00eame r\u00e9sultat. Il grimpe jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me place du classement poids mouches UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>La perte, la sant\u00e9, le retour<\/h3>\n<p>En mars 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Columbus, Kai Kara-France lui inflige sa premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite professionnelle, par d\u00e9cision unanime. Un combat serr\u00e9 mais la sentence est claire. Dans la foul\u00e9e, des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 retardent son retour \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition, et Askarov demande sa lib\u00e9ration \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC \u2014 accord\u00e9e. Son contrat termin\u00e9, il choisit de ne pas renouveler.<\/p>\n<p>En janvier 2023, il signe avec l&rsquo;ACA (Absolute Championship Akhmat), l&rsquo;organisation de Ramzan Kadyrov en Tch\u00e9tch\u00e9nie \u2014 une structure qu&rsquo;il conna\u00eet bien, ayant \u00e9volu\u00e9 dans son ancienne incarnation (l&rsquo;ACB) de 2015 \u00e0 2018. Le 24 novembre 2023, il renoue avec la victoire en battant Alan Gomes par d\u00e9cision unanime \u00e0 l&rsquo;ACA 166 \u00e0 Saint-P\u00e9tersbourg. Record professionnel au moment de cette sortie : 15 victoires, 1 d\u00e9faite, 1 match nul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Askar_Askarov\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/2023\/01\/28\/ufc-contender-askar-askarov-returns-mma-absolute-championship-akhmat-kadyrov-promotion\/\">Bloody Elbow<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/askar-askarov\">Sportskeeda<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Askar \u00ab\u00a0Bullet\u00a0\u00bb Askarov, combattant MMA daghestanais, champion poids mouches ACB et ancien n\u00b02 UFC, n\u00e9 sourd, m\u00e9daill\u00e9 d&rsquo;or aux Jeux Sourds-Olympiques 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103119,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69979],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105779","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-flyweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
