Bryan \u00ab\u00a0Bam Bam\u00a0\u00bb Barberena : le brawler sans pause<\/h2>\n

Le gars qui n’a jamais entendu parler du mot \u00ab\u00a0recul\u00a0\u00bb<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 3 mai 1989 \u00e0 Montclair, en Californie, Bryan Barberena a grandi \u00e0 Rancho Cucamonga avant de poser ses valises en Arizona pendant le lyc\u00e9e. Son p\u00e8re vient de Cali, en Colombie, et Barberena revendique les deux h\u00e9ritages \u2014 il arrive dans l’octogone avec les deux drapeaux. Son surnom \u00ab\u00a0Bam Bam\u00a0\u00bb, sa famille le lui a coll\u00e9 gamin parce qu’il \u00ab\u00a0courait partout en tapant sur tout\u00a0\u00bb. On ne peut pas dire que \u00e7a ait chang\u00e9 avec les ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Avant de monter sur les rings, il construisait des silos \u00e0 grain dans le Midwest. Pas le profil classique de la factory de champions. C’est \u00e0 l’MMA Lab de Glendale, en Arizona, qu’il s’est forg\u00e9 \u2014 ceinture bleue de jiu-jitsu sous John Crouch \u2014 avant de rejoindre Gym-O en Caroline du Nord vers 2018. Sa carri\u00e8re pro d\u00e9marre en 2009, et il empile 9 victoires pour seulement 2 d\u00e9faites sur le circuit r\u00e9gional, dont un titre DFC en mi-lourd.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l’UFC : bonuses \u00e0 gogo, d\u00e9faites aussi<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC remontent au 13 d\u00e9cembre 2014, face \u00e0 Joe Ellenberger \u00e0 l’UFC on Fox 13. Victoire par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round. Le ton est donn\u00e9. En mai 2016 \u00e0 l’UFC 198, il fait l’exploit d’arr\u00eater Warlley Alves \u2014 alors invaincu avec un bilan de 10-0 \u2014 alors qu’il \u00e9tait donn\u00e9 \u00e0 +450 par les bookmakers. Un des plus gros upset du welterweight cette ann\u00e9e-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Son dossier UFC compte cinq bonus \u00ab\u00a0Fight of the Night\u00a0\u00bb. Pas surprenant pour un combattant dont le plan de match, quelle que soit la situation, consiste \u00e0 avancer et \u00e0 frapper. En septembre 2017 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 115, il envoie un uppercut gauche au sol Leon Edwards \u2014 futur champion du monde \u2014 mais s’incline aux points apr\u00e8s \u00eatre parti si fort. Contre Vicente Luque \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 135 en ao\u00fbt 2018, il tient t\u00eate pendant deux rounds dingues avant de tomber \u00e0 six secondes de la sir\u00e8ne finale, sur genoux et coups de poing. Un de ces combats dont tout le monde parle encore.<\/p>\n

Son meilleur soir en UFC : le 2 juillet 2022 \u00e0 l’UFC 276. Robbie \u00ab\u00a0Ruthless\u00a0\u00bb Lawler en face, l\u00e9gende du welterweight. Barberena le sort \u00e0 la fin du deuxi\u00e8me round \u00e0 la sortie d’un \u00e9change qui ressemblait \u00e0 un jeu de flipper humain. Bonus de la nuit, standing ovation, la d\u00e9finition exacte de ce pour quoi les gens regardent les combats.<\/p>\n

Record et statut<\/h3>\n

Au total, 18 victoires et 12 d\u00e9faites en carri\u00e8re, avec 11 finishes par KO\/TKO, un taux de finish \u00e0 73 %. \u00c0 l’UFC, son bilan s’\u00e9tablit \u00e0 9-7 en 16 sorties, dont des d\u00e9faites face \u00e0 Colby Covington (d\u00e9cision unanime, d\u00e9cembre 2016), Rafael dos Anjos (soumission, d\u00e9cembre 2022) et Gerald Meerschaert (soumission R2, 16 mars 2024 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night : Tuivasa vs. Tybura). C’est ce dernier combat qui a pr\u00e9cipit\u00e9 sa lib\u00e9ration par l’UFC, annonc\u00e9e le 21 mars 2024.<\/p>\n

Mari\u00e9 \u00e0 Diana, p\u00e8re de trois enfants, Bryan Barberena reste l’arch\u00e9type du combattant qui ne vient jamais pour faire du remplissage. Quand il \u00e9tait dedans, la nuit \u00e9tait rarement ennuyeuse.<\/p>\n
