N\u00e9 le 26 juin 1984 \u00e0 Houston et grandi \u00e0 Chesterton dans l&rsquo;Indiana, ce kickboxeur aux poings lourds a \u00e9crit une partie de l&rsquo;histoire du bantamweight am\u00e9ricain : il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le tout premier champion WEC de la cat\u00e9gorie, en mai 2006, avant que cette ceinture ne devienne le titre UFC 135 livres que l&rsquo;on conna\u00eet aujourd&rsquo;hui.<\/p>\n<h3>Des d\u00e9buts entre le feu et l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Wineland a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se battre professionnellement en 2003, alors qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;avait pas encore vingt ans. Sa formation au Duneland Vale Tudo en Indiana m\u00eale lutte et striking \u2014 une base solide qui lui vaut rapidement une r\u00e9putation de finisher dans les petites organisations r\u00e9gionales. Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition, il travaille comme pompier \u00e0 LaPorte (Indiana), une double vie qui dit beaucoup sur son caract\u00e8re. La motivation qui le pousse \u00e0 se battre est aussi personnelle : son fr\u00e8re cadet a surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 des br\u00fblures sur 98 % du corps \u00e9tant enfant. Wineland s&rsquo;en est toujours r\u00e9clam\u00e9 comme d&rsquo;un moteur.<\/p>\n<h3>Champion WEC, challenger UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Le 5 mai 2006, Wineland bat Antonio Banuelos par TKO au premier round au WEC 20 et d\u00e9croche la toute premi\u00e8re ceinture bantamweight de l&rsquo;organisation. Il r\u00e8gne jusqu&rsquo;au 24 mars 2007, date \u00e0 laquelle Chase Beebe lui prend le titre aux points au WEC 26. Wineland rebondit, encha\u00eene les victoires dans le circuit WEC \u2014 dont un KO spectaculaire sur Ken Stone au WEC 53 \u2014 et se b\u00e2tit un palmar\u00e8s qui lui ouvre les portes de l&rsquo;UFC en 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e en sc\u00e8ne \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC fait face \u00e0 un test imm\u00e9diat : Urijah Faber le 19 mars 2011 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 128. La d\u00e9faite est s\u00e8che, mais Wineland reste. Il grimpe dans les classements au fil de victoires bien men\u00e9es et d\u00e9croche le droit de challenger Renan Barao pour le titre int\u00e9rimaire bantamweight \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 165, le 21 septembre 2013 \u00e0 Toronto. Le Br\u00e9silien l&rsquo;\u00e9teint d&rsquo;un spinning back kick au deuxi\u00e8me round, \u00e0 35 secondes du gong. Violent, exp\u00e9ditif, sans appel.<\/p>\n<h3>Un finish man jusqu&rsquo;au bout<\/h3>\n<p>Ce que Wineland n&rsquo;a jamais perdu, c&rsquo;est son punch. M\u00eame en fin de carri\u00e8re, il continue de sortir des KO au premier round. Le 21 f\u00e9vrier 2021, il r\u00e8gle John Castaneda en 4 minutes 45 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night. Puis le 19 juin 2022, \u00e0 37 ans, il cl\u00f4t sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle sur un KO sur Cody Stamann en 59 secondes \u2014 une sortie sur image que bien peu de v\u00e9t\u00e9rans peuvent se payer.<\/p>\n<p>Mais la nuit la plus marquante de ses derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es reste l&rsquo;UFC 250, le 6 juin 2020 \u00e0 Las Vegas : Wineland sert de tremplin \u00e0 un certain Sean O&rsquo;Malley, qui le couche d&rsquo;un overhand droit \u00e0 1 minute 54 du premier round et signe l&rsquo;un des KO walkoff les plus comment\u00e9s de l&rsquo;ann\u00e9e. Cette d\u00e9faite face \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0Sugar\u00a0\u00bb participe \u00e0 la l\u00e9gende de O&rsquo;Malley autant qu&rsquo;elle cl\u00f4t une page pour Wineland.<\/p>\n<h3>Bilan<\/h3>\n<p>Eddie Wineland raccroche avec un record de 24 victoires (dont 15 par KO), 16 d\u00e9faites et 1 nul en 41 combats professionnels \u2014 dont 16 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC.
