Christos \u00ab\u00a0The Spartan\u00a0\u00bb Giagos \u2014 le l\u00e9g\u00e8reweight gr\u00e9co-am\u00e9ricain qui a surv\u00e9cu dix ans \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h2>\n

Portrait<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 23 janvier 1990 \u00e0 Azusa, en Californie, Christos Giagos a grandi avec la lutte avant de d\u00e9couvrir le MMA \u00e0 19 ans, en 2009. Descendant de Grecs, il a vite adopt\u00e9 le surnom \u00ab\u00a0The Spartan\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 comme il l’explique lui-m\u00eame : \u00ab\u00a0Parce que je suis grec et un guerrier.\u00a0\u00bb Pas du second degr\u00e9 l\u00e0-dedans. Licenci\u00e9 en ceinture marron de JJB sous Giva Santana, pass\u00e9 par les \u00e9quipes Systems Training Center, Black House puis Sanford MMA, il construit sa carri\u00e8re pi\u00e8ce par pi\u00e8ce sur la sc\u00e8ne r\u00e9gionale am\u00e9ricaine avant de frapper \u00e0 la porte de l’UFC.<\/p>\n

Ascension r\u00e9gionale<\/h3>\n

Avant l’UFC, Giagos encha\u00eene les promotions r\u00e9gionales avec un bilan remarquable. En 2013, il d\u00e9croche le titre des l\u00e9gers de la Tachi Palace Fights en soumettant Sevak Magakian \u00e0 la cl\u00e9 triangulaire en premi\u00e8re reprise \u2014 en remplacement de derni\u00e8re minute. Il confirme son statut le 22 ao\u00fbt 2014 en s’emparant de la ceinture RFA Lightweight, stoppant Dakota Cochrane par TKO (genou volant et poings) au deuxi\u00e8me round. \u00c0 ce stade, il affiche 10 victoires pour 2 d\u00e9faites \u2014 un billet direct pour l’Octogone.<\/p>\n

La longue aventure \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts dans la plus grande organisation du monde sont difficiles : le 25 octobre 2014 \u00e0 l’UFC 179, il affronte Gilbert Burns \u2014 oui, le m\u00eame Burns qui deviendra contender au titre welter \u2014 et s’incline par soumission d\u00e8s le premier round. Le ton est donn\u00e9, la route sera longue. Giagos ne l\u00e2che pas. Il accumule victoires et d\u00e9faites pendant presque dix ans dans la promotion, terminant son passage \u00e0 l’UFC avec un bilan de 6 victoires pour 8 d\u00e9faites. Deux moments ressortent clairement de cette p\u00e9riode : en mai 2021 \u00e0 l’UFC 262, il soumet Sean Soriano au deuxi\u00e8me round et d\u00e9croche un bonus \u00ab\u00a0Performance of the Night\u00a0\u00bb. En avril 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Fight Night 222, il exp\u00e9die Ricky Glenn par KO au premier round \u2014 nouveau bonus Performance of the Night. Deux fois r\u00e9compens\u00e9 par la promotion pour des finishs propres et spectaculaires.<\/p>\n

Style et identit\u00e9 de combattant<\/h3>\n

Giagos est un fighter polyvalent avec un penchant marqu\u00e9 pour le striking debout \u2014 son crochet gauche est sa signature \u2014 sans abandonner le sol o\u00f9 son JJB lui a permis de finir plusieurs adversaires. Son \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re (RNC) est son outil de pr\u00e9dilection au grappling. Avec 5’10\u00a0\u00bb pour une allonge de 71 pouces, il reste dans la norme du poids l\u00e9ger. La constance n’a pas toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 au rendez-vous, mais sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 finir des combats lui a valu une d\u00e9cennie de contrats cons\u00e9cutifs dans la meilleure organisation du monde.<\/p>\n

Fin de carri\u00e8re UFC<\/h3>\n

Le 6 avril 2024, Giagos est mis KO par un head kick d’Ignacio Bahamondes d\u00e8s le premier round. C’est son dernier combat sous banni\u00e8re UFC : en octobre 2024, il est retir\u00e9 du roster de la promotion. Il boucle sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle sur un bilan de 20 victoires et 12 d\u00e9faites, dont 8 KO et 4 soumissions \u00e0 l’actif.<\/p>\n
