Raulian Paiva : le grappleur de Santana qui a failli devenir un fant\u00f4me de l’Octogone<\/h2>\n

De l’Amap\u00e1 \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 17 octobre 1995 \u00e0 Santana, dans l’\u00c9tat d’Amap\u00e1 au nord du Br\u00e9sil, Raulian Paiva Fraz\u00e3o n’a pas suivi le chemin classique. Il avait commenc\u00e9 une formation en informatique, il a tout laiss\u00e9 tomber pour se battre. \u00c7a dit quelque chose sur lui. Ses d\u00e9buts professionnels datent d’octobre 2013, \u00e0 18 ans \u00e0 peine, sur les circuits r\u00e9gionaux br\u00e9siliens. La route vers le grand bain a \u00e9t\u00e9 longue \u2014 cinq ans de r\u00e9gionale avant de se retrouver sur le Contender Series de Dana White.<\/p>\n

En ao\u00fbt 2018, il bat Allan Nascimento par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e sur le Contender Series Brazil. La victoire n’est pas spectaculaire, mais elle lui ouvre les portes de l’UFC. Il d\u00e9croche son contrat.<\/p>\n

Parcours \u00e0 l’UFC : des hauts, des bas, un grand soir<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC le 10 f\u00e9vrier 2019 \u00e0 l’UFC 234 face au N\u00e9o-Z\u00e9landais Kai Kara-France ne se passent pas comme pr\u00e9vu : d\u00e9faite aux points en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e. Il \u00e9volue alors en mouche (flyweight) avant de remonter au coq (bantamweight) en 2021, et c’est l\u00e0 que tout bascule.<\/p>\n

Le 24 juillet 2021, \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 32 (Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw), Paiva retrouve l’espoir am\u00e9ricain Kyler Phillips. Trois rounds d’intensit\u00e9, une bonne grosse bagarre o\u00f9 les deux hommes refusent de reculer. Paiva ressort victorieux par d\u00e9cision majoritaire \u2014 et le combat repart avec le bonus Fight of the Night. Son meilleur moment \u00e0 l’UFC.<\/p>\n

La suite est plus douloureuse. Le 11 d\u00e9cembre 2021 \u00e0 l’UFC 269, Sean O’Malley le catapulte hors de l’Octogone en 4 minutes et 42 secondes au premier round, TKO. Puis le 25 juin 2022, Sergey Morozov prend sa revanche aux points sur trois rounds. L’UFC le lib\u00e8re d\u00e9but 2023 avec un bilan de 3 victoires et 4 d\u00e9faites dans la promotion.<\/p>\n

Profil technique<\/h3>\n

Paiva est ceinture noire de JJB, form\u00e9 au Ronildo Nobre Judo Club avant de rejoindre la Team Alpha Male. Son style repose surtout sur la gestion des distances et le volume de frappes \u2014 43 % de pr\u00e9cision aux coups, 77 % de d\u00e9fense au sol \u2014 plut\u00f4t que sur la finition brute. Sur 23 victoires au total, la grande majorit\u00e9 passent par les points (16 d\u00e9cisions). Il est plus efficace en soumission (arm triangle, anaconda, kimura) qu’au KO pur.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s son passage \u00e0 l’UFC, Paiva continue de se battre sur les circuits ind\u00e9pendants. En mai 2025, il fait match nul par d\u00e9cision majoritaire contre Makhmud Akimov. \u00c0 30 ans, son bilan total tourne autour de 23 victoires, 6 d\u00e9faites et 2 nuls. Le chapitre UFC est ferm\u00e9 pour l’instant, mais le mec n’a pas raccroch\u00e9.<\/p>\n
