Depuis Windsor (Ontario), le poids plume canadien n&rsquo;a jamais cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 faire de bruit pour faire de bruit. Il s&rsquo;appelle \u00ab\u00a0The Truth\u00a0\u00bb, et \u00e7a colle : sobre, efficace, un finish quand il faut.<\/p>\n<h3>De Windsor \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Son p\u00e8re lui a mis le MMA en t\u00eate \u00e0 11 ans, apr\u00e8s une p\u00e9riode qui aurait pu briser n&rsquo;importe qui. En 2005, alors qu&rsquo;il a 8 ans, TJ perd son fr\u00e8re a\u00een\u00e9 puis sa m\u00e8re quelques semaines plus tard. Sa tante, qui les recueille, lui et son petit fr\u00e8re Tony (lui aussi combattant pro), d\u00e9c\u00e8de \u00e0 son tour en 2009. Le sport des arts martiaux mixtes devient le fil directeur, le truc qui maintient la famille ensemble. Il commence \u00e0 taper des sacs au Maximum Training Centre sous la direction de Rino Belcastro, il apprend \u00e0 couper les cheveux pour payer les cours, et il encha\u00eene les combats dans les shows r\u00e9gionaux d&rsquo;Ontario et du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n<p>Avant d&rsquo;arriver \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, il cumule deux titres r\u00e9gionaux \u2014 le championnat TKO MMA 145 lbs (qu&rsquo;il d\u00e9croche contre Charles Jourdain, futur pensionnaire de l&rsquo;Octogone, en 2017) et le titre Prospect Fighting Championships \u00e0 la m\u00eame cat\u00e9gorie. C\u00f4t\u00e9 kickboxing, il a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 champion IKF World et WKA North American. Un bagage s\u00e9rieux pour quelqu&rsquo;un qui coupe encore des cheveux au Padrone Barbershop de Windsor entre deux camps.<\/p>\n<h3>Le Contender Series et le soir le plus fort<\/h3>\n<p>Le 11 ao\u00fbt 2020, TJ Laramie monte en cage pour la Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series contre l&rsquo;Am\u00e9ricain Daniel \u00ab\u00a0Agent Orange\u00a0\u00bb Swain. Il finit le combat au premier round par arr\u00eat m\u00e9dical \u00e0 5:00. Dana White lui signe un contrat sur le champ. Ce que la cam\u00e9ra n&rsquo;a pas dit : ce soir-l\u00e0, c&rsquo;est l&rsquo;anniversaire de sa m\u00e8re. Il pleure dans la cage. On le comprend.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;exp\u00e9rience UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Son premier passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone, le 19 septembre 2020 face \u00e0 Darrick Minner \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night Covington vs. Woodley, tourne court : soumission guillotine en 48 secondes au premier round. Laramie encaisse, retravaille, revient. Son second combat \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, le 16 avril 2022 face \u00e0 Pat Sabatini, dure la distance \u2014 trois rounds \u2014 mais il s&rsquo;incline aux points (d\u00e9cision unanime). Deux d\u00e9faites, lib\u00e9ration du contrat.<\/p>\n<h3>Le rebond sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale<\/h3>\n<p>Loin de raccrocher, Laramie repart construire. En juin 2023, il s&#8217;empare du titre vacant des poids plume BTC en soumettant Neftaly Martinez au premier round (rear naked choke, BTC 20). En novembre 2023, il encha\u00eene avec un KO\/TKO en deux rounds face \u00e0 Terry Lemaire (BTC 22). En janvier 2025, nouvelle victoire, cette fois aux points contre Joash Walkins \u00e0 l&rsquo;Unified MMA 60. Son record professionnel grimpe \u00e0 16-5-0, avec 12 victoires dont 7 par KO\/TKO et 75% de finishs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/tj-laramie\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/t-j-the-truth-laramie\/\">The AllStar<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/tj-the-truth-laramie\">Verdict MMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TJ Laramie, poids plume canadien de Windsor surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0The Truth\u00a0\u00bb : 16-5-0, champion TKO MMA, pass\u00e9 par l&rsquo;UFC en 2020-2022, barber et combattant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103170,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69975],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105821","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-featherweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
