Plac\u00e9 en famille d&rsquo;accueil vers l&rsquo;\u00e2ge de sept ans suite \u00e0 la d\u00e9pendance aux drogues de sa m\u00e8re, il grandit dans la r\u00e9gion de Merced avant de d\u00e9couvrir le taekwondo \u00e0 12 ans. Ce n&rsquo;est pourtant pas sur un tatami qu&rsquo;il entame sa vie adulte, mais dans un camion : Newson travaillait comme chauffeur pour une laiterie locale, Alpenrose, quand il commence le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien vers 20 ans pour \u00ab\u00a0se d\u00e9fendre\u00a0\u00bb. Deux ans plus tard, il bascule vers le MMA. Ses coaches le d\u00e9crivent imm\u00e9diatement comme un naturel.<\/p>\n<h3>Une ascension propre avant l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Il fait ses d\u00e9buts pro le 5 septembre 2015 contre Damon Wood au KOTC: Rogue Wave, victoire aux points. La suite est solide : il encha\u00eene les victoires dans les circuits r\u00e9gionaux de la c\u00f4te Ouest, d\u00e9croche la ceinture bantamweight de Cagesport et est sacr\u00e9 deux fois champion amateur FCFF. \u00c0 l&rsquo;heure d&rsquo;entrer \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC en 2019, son bilan affiche 9 victoires pour une seule d\u00e9faite, avec 60 % de finishs \u2014 3 KO et 3 soumissions \u2014 et une ceinture noire de BJJ accroch\u00e9e \u00e0 la ceinture.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC : une entr\u00e9e en remplacement et une controverse<\/h3>\n<p>Newson d\u00e9barque dans la grande ligue le 29 juin 2019, en rempla\u00e7ant un combattant bless\u00e9 face \u00e0 Ricardo Ramos \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC on ESPN 3. Il perd aux points. Rien de honteux pour un d\u00e9but en catastrophe. Ce qui marque davantage sa carri\u00e8re UFC, c&rsquo;est ce qui se passe le 8 f\u00e9vrier 2020 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 247 : il exp\u00e9die Domingo Pilarte en moins d&rsquo;une minute par TKO, c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, et puis\u2026 le test antidopage post-combat revient positif au cannabis. La victoire est annul\u00e9e, transform\u00e9e en no-contest, et Newson \u00e9cope d&rsquo;une suspension de 30 jours. Un TKO spectaculaire effac\u00e9 des livres \u00e0 cause d&rsquo;une plante.<\/p>\n<p>La suite de son passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC oscille entre bonnes et mauvaises notes. Il bat Fernie Garcia aux points le 7 mai 2022 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 274 \u2014 sa seule victoire officielle dans l&rsquo;organisation \u2014 avant de s&rsquo;incliner face \u00e0 Sergey Morozov le 17 d\u00e9cembre 2022, puis de perdre par soumission contre Marcus McGhee le 29 avril 2023. La promotion le lib\u00e8re le 8 juin 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>Bilan et profil<\/h3>\n<p>Au terme de son passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, Journey Newson affiche un record global de 10 victoires, 5 d\u00e9faites et 1 no-contest. Son style est ancr\u00e9 dans le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien \u2014 ceinture noire, form\u00e9 au Impact Jiu Jitsu depuis 2008 \u2014 mais il a aussi d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 une percussion capable de finir les combats debout. Une envergure de 171 cm (67,5 pouces) pour un gabarit de poids coq, une pr\u00e9cision aux frappes de 33 % en UFC \u2014 pas son point fort \u2014 mais une d\u00e9fense au sol suffisante pour ne jamais avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis en carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Journey_Newson\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/journey-newson\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/journey-newson\/\">TheAllStar.io<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journey Newson, bantamweight am\u00e9ricain pass\u00e9 par l&rsquo;UFC (record 10-5-1NC), ceinture noire BJJ, marqu\u00e9 par un TKO annul\u00e9 pour cannabis \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 247 en 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102814,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69974],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105874","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-bantamweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
