En face, Tristan \u00ab\u00a0Boondock\u00a0\u00bb Connelly \u2014 appel\u00e9 en short notice cinq jours avant le combat, qui monte d&rsquo;une cat\u00e9gorie de poids pour l&rsquo;occasion \u2014 ne bronche pas. Trois rounds plus tard, les juges rendent leur verdict \u00e0 l&rsquo;unanimit\u00e9 en sa faveur. Connelly remporte son premier combat UFC en allant chercher la victoire l\u00e0 o\u00f9 personne ne l&rsquo;attendait, et repart avec le bonus Fight of the Night.<\/p>\n<p>N\u00e9 le 12 d\u00e9cembre 1985 \u00e0 Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique, Connelly a mis du temps avant d&rsquo;arriver sur la grande sc\u00e8ne. Il commence le MMA en 2010, t\u00e2tonne sur les circuits r\u00e9gionaux canadiens (Armageddon FC, BFL), encaisse des revers, et reconstruit. Entre 2016 et 2019, il encha\u00eene dix victoires cons\u00e9cutives \u2014 neuf par soumission ou KO \u2014 et d\u00e9croche trois ceintures de championnat : la Rise FC Lightweight Championship, la CageSport Lightweight Championship (d\u00e9fendue avec succ\u00e8s) et la Unified MMA Lightweight Championship. C&rsquo;est cette s\u00e9rie qui lui ouvre les portes de l&rsquo;UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Un grappleur de haut vol form\u00e9 chez Checkmat<\/h3>\n<p>La sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9 de Connelly, c&rsquo;est les \u00e9tranglements. Ceinture noire de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien sous Adam Ryan, il s&rsquo;entra\u00eene chez Checkmat Vancouver et dirige par ailleurs sa propre salle, la Pinnacle Combat Academy \u00e0 Richmond (BC). Sur ses 14 victoires professionnelles, neuf passent par la soumission et quatre par KO \u2014 un seul combat lui \u00e9chappe aux points. \u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC, il affiche 51 % de pr\u00e9cision en frappes et 60 % de d\u00e9fense au takedown : un profil complet, pas un grappleur unidimensionnel.<\/p>\n<h3>Le passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC et la fin de contrat<\/h3>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;exploit contre Pereira, le circuit s&#8217;emballe puis se referme. Le 24 avril 2021, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 261, il perd aux points face \u00e0 Pat Sabatini \u2014 une d\u00e9faite qui intervient apr\u00e8s une longue interruption forc\u00e9e. Le 30 avril 2022, Darren Elkins l&#8217;emporte \u00e0 son tour aux points, l\u00e0 encore \u00e0 l&rsquo;unanimit\u00e9 (30-27 sur toutes les cartes), lors de l&rsquo;UFC on ESPN 35. Le 9 juin 2022, l&rsquo;UFC le lib\u00e8re de son contrat.<\/p>\n<p>Connelly revient au combat en octobre 2022 dans une d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Xavier Nash \u00e0 la BFL 74. Son bilan professionnel s&rsquo;\u00e9tablit \u00e0 14 victoires et 9 d\u00e9faites, avec un passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC de trois combats (1 victoire, 2 d\u00e9faites).<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tristan_Connelly\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/tristan-connelly\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2019\/9\/14\/20866254\/ufc-fight-night-158-results-tristan-connelly-upset-michel-pereira-unanimous-decision-vancouver-mma\">MMAmania.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tristan \u00ab\u00a0Boondock\u00a0\u00bb Connelly, grappleur canadien ceinture noire de BJJ, connu pour son upset viral sur Michel Pereira \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC en 2019.
