Nate \u00ab\u00a0Mayhem\u00a0\u00bb Maness : le finisseur du Kentucky qui cogne \u00e0 mains nues<\/h2>\n

Un gars du Sud qui aime en finir<\/h3>\n

Jackson, Tennessee. C’est l\u00e0 que Nathan Maness voit le jour en juin 1991. Il grandit dans le Kentucky, loin des grandes acad\u00e9mies MMA des c\u00f4tes, et construit son jeu \u00e0 la dure dans les circuits r\u00e9gionaux am\u00e9ricains d\u00e8s 2013. Quand il d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l’UFC en ao\u00fbt 2020 contre Johnny Munoz Jr., il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 dix victoires au compteur et z\u00e9ro habitude de la rampe. Le r\u00e9sultat ? Une d\u00e9cision unanime propre qui ouvre la porte.<\/p>\n

Trois bonus en cinq victoires \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Ce qui distingue Maness \u00e0 l’UFC, c’est une capacit\u00e9 r\u00e9elle \u00e0 en finir \u2014 dans les deux sens du terme. Le 28 novembre 2020, il soumet Luke Sanders au deuxi\u00e8me round en 2:29 et empoche son premier bonus Performance of the Night. Moins d’un an plus tard, le 18 septembre 2021, il renverse Tony Gravely en fin de deuxi\u00e8me round (TKO, 2:10) pour un deuxi\u00e8me bonus. La formule est la m\u00eame \u00e0 chaque fois : du rythme, de la pression, une conclusion nette.<\/p>\n

Les deux d\u00e9faites UFC arrivent ensuite dans un encha\u00eenement difficile : le 25 juin 2022, Umar Nurmagomedov lui impose trois rounds de contr\u00f4le total (d\u00e9cision unanime) ; le 5 novembre 2022, lors de son passage en mouche, Tagir Ulanbekov l’\u00e9trangle debout d\u00e8s le premier round (soumission, 2:11). Deux adversaires de calibre, deux le\u00e7ons s\u00e8ches.<\/p>\n

Le rebond est net. Le 7 octobre 2023, retour en poids coq, Maness met fin aux ambitions de Mateus Mendon\u00e7a par KO au premier round (4:40) \u2014 troisi\u00e8me bonus Performance of the Night de sa carri\u00e8re. En juin 2024, il termine son contrat UFC sur une d\u00e9cision unanime face \u00e0 Jimmy Flick, portant son bilan dans l’octogone \u00e0 5 victoires pour 2 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n

Style : debout ou au sol, il cherche la finition<\/h3>\n

Maness n’est pas un technicien qui gagne aux points en attendant que les rounds s’\u00e9coulent. Ceinture marron en BJJ, \u00e0 l’aise pour soumettre comme pour frapper, il capitalise sur sa morphologie \u2014 1,78 m, 183 cm d’allonge \u2014 pour imposer un jeu de distance qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de souvent une finition. Sur 16 victoires MMA, plus de la moiti\u00e9 passent par KO ou soumission. Son \u00e9tranglement favori revendiqu\u00e9 ? Le D’Arce choke.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’UFC : le poing nu en BKFC<\/h3>\n

En septembre 2024, Maness signe avec la Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Pas une retraite d\u00e9guis\u00e9e \u2014 deux combats, deux victoires par KO, dont Nick Burgos le 6 d\u00e9cembre 2024 \u00e0 Atlanta (TKO, R3) et Tyler Randall le 18 octobre 2025 \u00e0 Hammond, Indiana. \u00c0 34 ans, il reste class\u00e9 dans le top 5 BKFC bantamweight et n’a visiblement aucune intention de lever le pied.<\/p>\n
