Dwight Grant, le \u00ab\u00a0Body Snatcher\u00a0\u00bb de Brooklyn<\/h2>\n

Champion de kickboxing WKA avant m\u00eame de fouler un octogone MMA, Dwight Lamont Grant a d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 dans les arts martiaux mixtes avec un bagage de frappe s\u00e9rieux. N\u00e9 le 14 septembre 1984 \u00e0 Bedford-Stuyvesant, l’un des quartiers les plus rugueux de Brooklyn, il a construit sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 la main, combat par combat, sur le circuit r\u00e9gional de la c\u00f4te Est am\u00e9ricaine.<\/p>\n

Des rings de kickboxing \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Grant a d\u00e9but\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re MMA professionnelle en mai 2011 sous les couleurs de Reality Fighting au Mohegan Sun, avec un KO au premier round face \u00e0 Jason Ward. Ceinture violette en jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien, ceinture rouge de kung-fu, il a compl\u00e9t\u00e9 son arsenal pied-poing par un grappling solide. Son surnom, \u00ab\u00a0The Body Snatcher\u00a0\u00bb, il l’assume sans fioriture : \u00ab\u00a0J’aime poser les gens avec des coups au corps.\u00a0\u00bb Ce n’est pas un slogan, c’est une m\u00e9thode de travail.<\/p>\n

Entre 2011 et 2018, il encha\u00eene les victoires sur le circuit r\u00e9gional nord-am\u00e9ricain, avec notamment un passage \u00e0 Bellator 165 en novembre 2016 contre Danasabe Mohammed, sorti aux points. Il arrive \u00e0 l’entr\u00e9e du Contender Series avec un bilan de 8 victoires pour 1 d\u00e9faite.<\/p>\n

L’entr\u00e9e par la grande porte<\/h3>\n

Le 19 juin 2018, Dana White’s Contender Series \u2014 saison 2, \u00e9pisode 10. Grant affronte Tyler Hill et l’exp\u00e9die via KO au deuxi\u00e8me round (2:08). Contrat UFC sign\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts en UFC sont pourtant laborieux. Le 15 d\u00e9cembre 2018 \u00e0 Milwaukee, il s’incline aux points (d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e) face \u00e0 Zak Ottow \u00e0 UFC on Fox. Deux mois plus tard, il r\u00e9pond pr\u00e9sent : le 23 f\u00e9vrier 2019 \u00e0 Prague, contre Carlo Pedersoli Jr., il r\u00e8gle l’affaire en 4:59 au premier round (TKO, punches) et empoche le bonus Performance of the Night. Suivi d’un deuxi\u00e8me UFC 236 \u00e0 Atlanta le 13 avril 2019 contre Alan Jouban, sorti par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e. Trois combats, deux victoires \u2014 il commence \u00e0 trouver ses marques.<\/p>\n

Le coup d’arr\u00eat Rodriguez et la suite compliqu\u00e9e<\/h3>\n

Le 22 ao\u00fbt 2020 \u00e0 Las Vegas, face \u00e0 Daniel Rodriguez (UFC on ESPN 15), Grant prend un KO brutal au premier round (2:24). L’image est cruelle : il avait pourtant commenc\u00e9 fort, envoy\u00e9 Rodriguez au sol avec une combinaison, mais \u00ab\u00a0D-Rod\u00a0\u00bb s’est relev\u00e9 et l’a contr\u00e9 d’un crochet gauche propre. Rodriguez a remport\u00e9 le bonus Performance of the Night. Une le\u00e7on de r\u00e9silience adverse que Grant encaisse difficilement.<\/p>\n

La fin de son passage \u00e0 l’UFC s’\u00e9tire sur un bilan mitig\u00e9 : victoire en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e sur Stefan Sekulic \u00e0 UFC 261 (24 avril 2021, Jacksonville), d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Francisco Trinaldo (23 octobre 2021), puis un combat de guerre contre Sergey Khandozhko le 23 avril 2022 \u2014 les deux hommes sont envoy\u00e9s au tapis plusieurs fois avant que Grant ne l\u00e2che au TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round. Le Fight of the Night est l\u00e0 pour t\u00e9moigner de l’intensit\u00e9, m\u00eame si \u00e7a fait mal. Sa derni\u00e8re sortie \u00e0 l’UFC, une d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Dustin Stoltzfus le 16 juillet 2022 \u00e0 Elmont (New York), signe sa sortie du roster.<\/p>\n

Le bilan<\/h3>\n

Record pro \u00e0 11-6 (dont 7 KO\/TKO sur 11 victoires), affiliation Alliance MMA \u00e0 San Diego. Grant n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 le combattant le plus m\u00e9diatis\u00e9 du welterweight UFC, mais il a livr\u00e9 des combats honn\u00eates et termin\u00e9 plus d’une fois la soir\u00e9e de bonne heure pour son adversaire. \u00c0 41 ans, son statut actuel reste inactif.<\/p>\n
