Son fils Jayce \u00e9tait n\u00e9 quelques heures plus t\u00f4t. Ce n&rsquo;est pas un d\u00e9tail anecdotique : \u00e7a dit tout sur la trajectoire de ce Dubliner de Tallaght, qui se bat depuis la m\u00eame \u00e9nergie \u2014 trouver et tenir quelque chose qui vaut le coup.<\/p>\n<h3>Des rings de kickboxing \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Barry a commenc\u00e9 les arts martiaux enfant, et il a grimp\u00e9 vite. Sous les couleurs WAKO, il a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 plusieurs titres mondiaux de kickboxing, aussi bien chez les juniors que chez les seniors \u2014 un palmar\u00e8s qui l&rsquo;a amen\u00e9 \u00e0 s&rsquo;entra\u00eener aux \u00c9tats-Unis avec des pointures du kickboxing mondial. En 2017, il franchit le cap du MMA. Premier combat professionnel le 16 septembre 2017 \u00e0 Shamrock FC 294 : Thomas Thatcher ne passe pas le premier round. Le sch\u00e9ma se r\u00e9p\u00e8te sur ses combats suivants, \u00e0 une exception pr\u00e8s : en mai 2018, Anthony Taylor lui inflige une soumission par rear naked choke au deuxi\u00e8me round (BAMMA 35). Une le\u00e7on encaiss\u00e9e, pas une trajectoire bris\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>Il repart \u00e0 z\u00e9ro sur les fondamentaux et int\u00e8gre SBG Charlestown, o\u00f9 il travaille sous Owen Roddy \u2014 l&rsquo;entra\u00eeneur frappe de Conor McGregor. En juin 2019 (Titan FC 55), Corey Samuels tombe par KO au premier round. En septembre 2020, Abdulla Al Bousheiri encaisse un crochet gauche \u00e0 UAE Warriors 13 et ne se rel\u00e8ve pas (R1, 4:30). En d\u00e9cembre 2021, Drew Lipton est exp\u00e9di\u00e9 en 21 secondes \u00e0 Titan FC 73. Quatre victoires en MMA, toutes par arr\u00eat de l&rsquo;arbitre.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC, entre cons\u00e9cration et chaos<\/h3>\n<p>L&rsquo;UFC l&rsquo;avait sign\u00e9 apr\u00e8s UAE Warriors 13, sur un record de 3-1. Mais entre les refus de visa et les reports successifs, il aura fallu attendre avril 2022 pour voir Barry sous l&rsquo;octogone de l&rsquo;Apex. Le 23 avril 2022, face \u00e0 Mike Jackson \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night Vegas 52, le combat tourne vite : au premier round, l&rsquo;arbitre stoppe l&rsquo;action et disqualifie Barry pour un eye gouge et un coup \u00e0 l&rsquo;aine. Fin de match \u00e0 3:52. Barry conteste la d\u00e9cision dans la foul\u00e9e, accuse Jackson d&rsquo;avoir saisi l&rsquo;opportunit\u00e9 de sortir, mais la d\u00e9faite est inscrite au tableau. L&rsquo;UFC le lib\u00e8re dans les semaines qui suivent.<\/p>\n<p>Barry ne dispara\u00eet pas pour autant. En juillet 2023, il revient \u00e0 Titan FC 83 et r\u00e8gle John Marquez d&rsquo;un spinning back elbow au deuxi\u00e8me round \u2014 le genre de finish qui rappelle d&rsquo;o\u00f9 vient le bonhomme. Son record \u00e0 ce jour : 4-2, quatre victoires, toutes avant la limite.<\/p>\n<h3>Un style taill\u00e9 pour le finish<\/h3>\n<p>Cent pour cent de ses victoires par arr\u00eat de l&rsquo;arbitre, une pr\u00e9cision de frappe \u00e0 40% dans l&rsquo;octogone, 69% de ses coups ciblant la t\u00eate \u2014 Barry construit ses combats pour finir, pas pour scorer. Sa base kickboxing se lit dans la diversit\u00e9 de ses outils (spinning back elbow \u00e0 Titan FC 83, travail de clinch), mais c&rsquo;est son sens du timing et du placement qui lui valent son surnom de \u00ab\u00a0The Sniper\u00a0\u00bb. \u00c0 178 cm pour un reach de 183 cm, il \u00e9volue entre welterweight et lightweight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/sport\/mma\/2022\/0422\/1293819-the-curious-case-of-irelands-latest-ufc-signee\/\">RT\u00c9 Sport<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/severemma.com\/2020\/11\/breaking-irish-lightweight-dean-barry-signs-for-ufc\/\">Severe MMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/gidstats.com\/fighters\/barry_dean.html\">GIDStats<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dean \u00ab\u00a0The Sniper\u00a0\u00bb Barry, kickboxeur irlandais multi-champion du monde WAKO reconverti en MMA, combat au welterweight avec un record de 4-2, 4 KO sur 4 victoires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103088,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69976],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105833","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-welterweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
