Miguel \u00ab\u00a0Caramel Thunder\u00a0\u00bb Baeza \u2014 le KO artist qui a br\u00fbl\u00e9 trop vite<\/h2>\n

Un gamin de Floride berc\u00e9 par F\u00e9lix Trinidad<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 23 ao\u00fbt 1992 \u00e0 Davie, en Floride, Miguel Baeza a grandi dans une famille portoricaine avec la boxe en fond sonore. Felix Trinidad \u00e9tait son idole, et \u00e7a s’est vu dans ses poings. Avant de toucher \u00e0 la cage, il passe par la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et l’enseignement en salle \u2014 deux boulots qui lui apprennent \u00e0 lire les gens. Il commence le MMA amateur en 2011, termine \u00e0 4-0, puis passe pro en 2015. \u00c0 l’entra\u00eenement, c’est MMA Masters, \u00e0 Miami, le m\u00eame gym qui a form\u00e9 des noms solides du circuit. Il accroche aussi une ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien en chemin.<\/p>\n

La mont\u00e9e : Contender Series et des d\u00e9buts en trombe<\/h3>\n

Le 25 juin 2019, Baeza passe l’audition qui compte : la Dana White’s Contender Series, face \u00e0 Victor Reyna. Victoire aux points, contrat UFC sign\u00e9. Trois mois et demi plus tard, le 12 octobre 2019 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 161, il fait ses d\u00e9buts contre Hector Aldana et conclut par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round. Le ton est donn\u00e9.<\/p>\n

L’an 2020 lui appartient vraiment. Le 16 mai, \u00e0 l’UFC on ESPN 8, il d\u00e9truit Matt Brown \u2014 v\u00e9t\u00e9ran de 30 combats \u00e0 l’UFC \u2014 en deux rounds, TKO, et repart avec un bonus Performance of the Night. Le 28 novembre suivant, face \u00e0 Takashi Sato \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 184, il ajoute sa seule soumission \u00e0 la fiche (\u00e9tranglement arm-triangle, round 2) et empoche un second bonus Performance. \u00c0 ce stade, trois combats UFC, trois victoires, sept finitions sur dix au total : Baeza est l’une des r\u00e9v\u00e9lations welterweight de l’ann\u00e9e, \u00e9lu Most Improved Fighter 2021 par FightMatrix.<\/p>\n

Style : le finisseur aux 80 % de finitions<\/h3>\n

Sa base technique, c’est la boxe. Frappes pr\u00e9cises (49 % d’accuracy), puissance dans les deux mains, et la patience d’un chasseur \u2014 il n’ouvre pas n’importe comment. La ceinture noire BJJ lui donne des options au sol, mais c’est debout qu’il cherche la lumi\u00e8re. Sur dix victoires, sept arrivent par KO ou TKO. Baeza, c’est un Welterweight qui finit les combats.<\/p>\n

Les limites : quand les meilleurs lui ont rendu la monnaie<\/h3>\n

Le 5 juin 2021, contre Santiago Ponzinibbio, Baeza donne tout pendant cinq rounds dans un Fight of the Night \u2014 mais il s’incline aux points. Premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite, honorable. La suite est plus dure : le 13 novembre 2021, Khaos Williams le stoppe par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round (UFC Fight Night 197) ; puis le 16 avril 2022, Andr\u00e9 Fialho l’exp\u00e9die en 4 minutes 39 d\u00e8s le premier round. Deux KO encaiss\u00e9s cons\u00e9cutifs, le genre de s\u00e9quence qui force \u00e0 s’arr\u00eater.<\/p>\n

Il revient le 8 juin 2024 \u00e0 l’UFC on ESPN 57 face \u00e0 Punahele Soriano, mais perd aux points. Bilan UFC final : 3 victoires, 4 d\u00e9faites. Le 30 juillet 2024, l’UFC ne renouvelle pas son contrat.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Entre les deux, le 4 avril 2024, Baeza avait d\u00e9croch\u00e9 une victoire en grappling contre Guilherme Neves au Fury Pro Grappling 9 \u2014 preuve que la comp\u00e9tition reste dans le sang, m\u00eame en dehors de l’octogone. Son bilan MMA global est de 10-4, avec deux bonus Performance of the Night et un Fight of the Night en poche. Pas rien.<\/p>\n
