C&rsquo;est l\u00e0 que tout a commenc\u00e9 pour Poliana Botelho, n\u00e9e le 15 d\u00e9cembre 1988. Ceinture noire de Muay Tha\u00ef, ceinture marron de JJB sous Michele Tavares, form\u00e9e \u00e0 la Nova Uni\u00e3o \u2014 l&rsquo;une des usines \u00e0 champions les plus r\u00e9put\u00e9es du Br\u00e9sil. Quand elle d\u00e9barque dans les cages, c&rsquo;est avec un bagage technique qui ne laisse rien au hasard.<\/p>\n<h3>Des d\u00e9buts explosifs et un titre XFC<\/h3>\n<p>Elle fait ses d\u00e9buts pros en septembre 2013, et \u00e7a ne tra\u00eene pas : deux TKO cons\u00e9cutifs en premier round sur Thais Raphaela puis Ingrid Schwartz. La machine est lanc\u00e9e. Elle encha\u00eene les victoires dans le circuit br\u00e9silien et \u00e0 l&rsquo;Xtreme Fighting Championships, o\u00f9 elle d\u00e9croche la ceinture des poids mouches f\u00e9minins en septembre 2015 en stoppant Silvana G\u00f3mez Ju\u00e1rez au quatri\u00e8me round par arr\u00eat du m\u00e9decin. Son seul accroc avant l&rsquo;UFC ? Une d\u00e9faite aux points face \u00e0 Viviane Pereira en juin 2014, qui ne fera que lui aff\u00fbter les crocs.<\/p>\n<h3>Son passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>L&rsquo;Octogone, elle l&rsquo;int\u00e8gre le 7 octobre 2017 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 216, dans la cat\u00e9gorie paille (115 lbs). Face \u00e0 Pearl Gonzalez, elle impose sa puissance pendant trois rounds et repart avec une victoire aux points unanime. La suite confirme ce que son parcours laissait entrevoir : en mai 2018 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 129, elle pulv\u00e9rise la Japonaise Syuri Kondo en 33 secondes chrono, un TKO body kick + frappes qui restera l&rsquo;un de ses highlights. En avril 2019, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 236, elle ajoute Lauren Mueller \u00e0 son palmar\u00e8s par d\u00e9cision unanime.<\/p>\n<p>Mais l&rsquo;UFC est une \u00e9cole brutale. Cynthia Calvillo l&rsquo;\u00e9touffe en RNC d\u00e8s le premier round en novembre 2018 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 140. Gillian Robertson lui vole trois rounds aux points en octobre 2020. Luana Carolina la bat en split decision en mai 2021. Et en juin 2022, Karine Silva la soumet \u00e0 l&rsquo;aide d&rsquo;un brabo choke \u00e0 4:55 du premier round \u2014 fin du contrat UFC.<\/p>\n<h3>Le rebond et l&rsquo;\u00e9preuve<\/h3>\n<p>Septembre 2022, Invicta FC 49 : elle bat Helen Peralta par d\u00e9cision unanime et prouve qu&rsquo;elle a encore du niveau. Dans la foul\u00e9e, elle signe un contrat multi-combats avec Bellator MMA en octobre 2022. Le come-back semblait sur les rails.<\/p>\n<p>Puis en f\u00e9vrier 2023, elle annonce publiquement un diagnostic de cancer du sein, avec ablation d&rsquo;un ganglion. Elle traverse la maladie hors des cages, sans bruit. En ao\u00fbt 2024, elle annonce \u00eatre en r\u00e9mission. Son retour \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition reste \u00e0 confirmer.<\/p>\n<h3>Ce qu&rsquo;elle vaut<\/h3>\n<p>Sur le papier : 9 victoires (6 par KO\/TKO, 3 aux points), 5 d\u00e9faites. Derri\u00e8re les chiffres, une combattante qui a domin\u00e9 ses premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es \u00e0 la finition, qui sait travailler en distance comme au corps-\u00e0-corps, et dont la carri\u00e8re a \u00e9t\u00e9 stopp\u00e9e non pas par manque de niveau, mais par la maladie. \u00c0 1,73 m pour 115 lbs, elle reste l&rsquo;une des pailles les plus athl\u00e9tiques que la Br\u00e9silienne ait produit ces dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poliana_Botelho\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/poliana-botelho\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poliana Botelho, combattante br\u00e9silienne poids paille, ceinture noire Muay Tha\u00ef, ancienne championne XFC et v\u00e9t\u00e9rane UFC (9-5).
