Mike Breeden vient de Springfield, Missouri, o\u00f9 il a commenc\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re comme apprenti \u00e9lectricien avant de troquer les chantiers pour l&rsquo;octogone. Depuis ses d\u00e9buts pro en janvier 2017, il s&rsquo;est construit une r\u00e9putation de puncher capable de terminer un combat en quelques secondes, dans n&rsquo;importe quel round.<\/p>\n<h3>Des d\u00e9buts remarqu\u00e9s jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Breeden signe d\u00e8s son premier combat pro en janvier 2017 \u00e0 Bellator 171 avec un KO au premier round face \u00e0 Craig Fairley. La suite suit le m\u00eame sch\u00e9ma : en passant par la LFA, il accumule les finishes \u2014 Chel Erwin-Davis en R3 en mai 2019, Brandon Jenkins en R3 en septembre 2019. En ao\u00fbt 2020, il se pr\u00e9sente au Dana White Contender Series face \u00e0 Anthony Romero, mais s&rsquo;incline aux points sur d\u00e9cision. Pas suffisant pour d\u00e9crocher un contrat, mais pas suffisant non plus pour l&rsquo;arr\u00eater.<\/p>\n<p>L&rsquo;appel de l&rsquo;UFC arrive finalement le 2 octobre 2021 contre Alexander Hernandez, sur neuf jours de pr\u00e9avis. Le r\u00e9sultat est brutal : KO au premier round \u00e0 1:20. Une bapt\u00eame du feu difficile. Il repart dans la foul\u00e9e contre Natan Levy le 30 avril 2022, et perd cette fois aux points sur d\u00e9cision unanime apr\u00e8s trois rounds complets. Deux d\u00e9faites, z\u00e9ro excuses.<\/p>\n<h3>Rupture et reconstruction \u00e0 Marathon MMA<\/h3>\n<p>Entre ses deux premi\u00e8res sorties UFC et la suite de sa carri\u00e8re, Breeden traverse une p\u00e9riode compliqu\u00e9e : son coach James Krause, qui lui avait donn\u00e9 le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Money\u00a0\u00bb et l&rsquo;entra\u00eenait \u00e0 Glory MMA, est suspendu. La structure s&rsquo;effondre d&rsquo;un coup. Il rejoint alors le Marathon MMA \u00e0 Overland Park, Kansas, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de son corner Trey Ogden, v\u00e9t\u00e9ran UFC. \u00ab\u00a0J&rsquo;ai un peu paniqu\u00e9&#8230; et puis c&rsquo;est probablement l&rsquo;une des meilleures d\u00e9cisions que j&rsquo;aie pu prendre\u00a0\u00bb, confie-t-il. Purple belt en jiu-jitsu, il continue \u00e0 travailler son jeu de sol en parall\u00e8le de sa boxe.<\/p>\n<h3>Retour \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : une victoire marquante \u00e0 Abu Dhabi<\/h3>\n<p>En ao\u00fbt 2023, il s&rsquo;incline rapidement face \u00e0 Terrance McKinney par TKO au premier round. Deux mois plus tard, le 21 octobre 2023, c&rsquo;est UFC 294 \u00e0 Abu Dhabi \u2014 Makhachev vs Volkanovski 2 \u2014 et Breeden retrouve l&rsquo;octogone contre l&rsquo;Indien Anshul Jubli. Cette fois, il s&rsquo;impose par KO\/TKO au troisi\u00e8me round, signant sa premi\u00e8re victoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC apr\u00e8s trois tentatives. Record actuel : 11 victoires, 6 d\u00e9faites, avec un ratio de finishes qui tourne autour de 80 %.<\/p>\n<h3>Profil et style<\/h3>\n<p>Breeden combat en Lightweight (77 kg), mesure 5&rsquo;10\u00a0\u00bb (177 cm) pour 70 pouces d&rsquo;allonge. C&rsquo;est un frappeur avant tout, avec une capacit\u00e9 r\u00e9elle \u00e0 mettre fin aux combats \u00e0 n&rsquo;importe quel moment d\u00e8s qu&rsquo;il sent son adversaire \u00e0 port\u00e9e. Sa solidit\u00e9 mentale \u2014 rebondir apr\u00e8s des d\u00e9faites dans la cage la plus regard\u00e9e du monde tout en g\u00e9rant un changement de gym brutal \u2014 dit autant sur lui que ses neuf KO.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/mike-breeden\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/mike-breeden-rolling-with-the-punches-lightweight-ufc-vegas-78\">UFC.com \u2013 Interview Breeden<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/money-mike-breeden\/\">The All Star<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike \u00ab\u00a0Money\u00a0\u00bb Breeden, 11-6 en MMA, est un finisseur Lightweight de Springfield (Missouri) avec 9 KO\/TKO \u2014 dont une victoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 294 face \u00e0 Anshul Jubli en octobre 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102204,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69973],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105853","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-lightweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
