Quatorze ans de carri\u00e8re en MMA, des combats partout de la Russie \u00e0 l&rsquo;Europe, et un surnom \u2014 \u00ab\u00a0Zhako\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 qui dit ce qu&rsquo;il a \u00e0 dire sans en faire trop. Il \u00e9volue en poids mouche (57 kg) et affiche aujourd&rsquo;hui un record global de 19-9.<\/p>\n<h3>Les fondations : Fight Nights Global et le titre FNG<\/h3>\n<p>Avant de signer \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, Zhumagulov passe des ann\u00e9es \u00e0 se forger dans les promotions russes et d&rsquo;Asie centrale. C&rsquo;est sous la banni\u00e8re Fight Nights Global qu&rsquo;il d\u00e9croche son premier titre majeur, le 31 ao\u00fbt 2018, en battant Tagir Ulanbekov par d\u00e9cision majoritaire au terme de cinq rounds serr\u00e9s. Ulanbekov n&rsquo;est pas un adversaire anodin \u2014 il rejoindra lui aussi l&rsquo;UFC peu apr\u00e8s. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, \u00ab\u00a0Zhako\u00a0\u00bb affiche 13-3 au compteur, avec des victoires notables sur Tyson Nam, Shajidul Haque et Artur Bagautinov. C&rsquo;est ce bagage qui lui ouvre les portes de la plus grande organisation mondiale.<\/p>\n<h3>Passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC (2020-2023)<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9t\u00e9 2020, \u00e0 UFC 251, se fait directement contre Raulian Paiva \u2014 un test costaud d\u00e8s le premier soir. Il s&rsquo;incline aux points, et la suite sera difficile : six combats \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, cinq d\u00e9faites, dont trois d\u00e9cisions partag\u00e9es qui auraient pu basculer dans l&rsquo;autre sens. Sa seule victoire dans l&rsquo;Octogone date du 10 juillet 2021, \u00e0 UFC 264, quand il soumet Jerome Rivera par guillotine en 2:02 de premier round.<\/p>\n<p>Les d\u00e9faites face \u00e0 Amir Albazi (janvier 2021), Manel Kape (d\u00e9cembre 2021, TKO au 1er round), Jeff Molina (juin 2022), Charles Johnson (novembre 2022) et Joshua Van (juin 2023) cl\u00f4turent son s\u00e9jour \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC. Record final dans la promotion : 1-6. L&rsquo;organisation ne renouvelle pas son contrat \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9t\u00e9 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>La r\u00e9surrection post-UFC<\/h3>\n<p>C&rsquo;est l\u00e0 que l&rsquo;histoire devient int\u00e9ressante. Au lieu de d\u00e9crocher, Zhumagulov repart travailler. Il s&rsquo;impose dans plusieurs combats en Asie centrale via la promotion Naiza FC, reconstruit sa confiance, et finit par signer \u00e0 OKTAGON MMA \u2014 l&rsquo;organisation tch\u00e8que qui monte fort en Europe. Le 28 juin 2025, il d\u00e9croche le titre des poids mouche OKTAGON en battant Beno Adamia. D\u00e9fense r\u00e9ussie le 28 d\u00e9cembre 2025 face \u00e0 David Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, stopp\u00e9 par le m\u00e9decin \u00e0 la fin du round 3. Champion confirm\u00e9, \u00e0 37 ans pass\u00e9s. En juin 2026, il r\u00e9pond \u00e0 un \u00ab\u00a0champions showdown\u00a0\u00bb face \u00e0 Igor Severino \u00e0 OKTAGON 89.<\/p>\n<h3>Le style<\/h3>\n<p>Zhumagulov n&rsquo;est pas le genre \u00e0 aller chercher la d\u00e9cision par d\u00e9faut. Sur ses 19 victoires, 9 viennent par KO\/TKO et 1 par soumission \u2014 plus de la moiti\u00e9 de ses victoires sont des finishs. Il frappe, il conclut quand l&rsquo;occasion se pr\u00e9sente. Sa d\u00e9fense aux takedowns (75 % de r\u00e9ussite estim\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC) lui permet de rester debout et de dicter les \u00e9changes. \u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC, il a souffert de la r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 sur trois rounds \u2014 mais dans un format plus court ou face \u00e0 un niveau l\u00e9g\u00e8rement en dessous, il a toujours su \u00eatre dangereux.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zhalgas_Zhumagulov\">Wikipedia EN<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/zhalgas-zhumagulov\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tapology.com\/fightcenter\/fighters\/82310-zhalgas-zhumagalov\">Tapology<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhalgas \u00ab\u00a0Zhako\u00a0\u00bb Zhumagulov, poids mouche kazakh (19-9), ex-UFC et champion OKTAGON MMA \u2014 un finisheur qui a su rebondir apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;Octogone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102904,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69979],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-105925","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-flyweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
