Tyson Nam : le puncheur d’Hawa\u00ef qui a travers\u00e9 l’UFC \u00e0 coups de KO<\/h2>\n

Un gars de Waimanalo avec des poings en b\u00e9ton<\/h3>\n

Tyson Ka’eo Nam est n\u00e9 le 6 octobre 1983 \u00e0 Waimanalo, sur l’\u00eele d’Oahu \u00e0 Hawa\u00ef. Avant de cogner des gens pour gagner sa vie, il a suivi un chemin un peu atypique : judo d\u00e8s six ans, boxe au lyc\u00e9e, kickboxing, puis MMA. Entre tout \u00e7a, il a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 un dipl\u00f4me en sciences du sport \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 d’Hawa\u00ef. Pas le profil du gros bras sans cervelle. Nam est un cogneur r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi, un flyweight \u00e0 126 lbs qui a construit une carri\u00e8re de pr\u00e8s de vingt ans sur une qualit\u00e9 centrale : il peut t’\u00e9teindre \u00e0 n’importe quel moment.<\/p>\n

Avant l’UFC : deux KO qui ont fait le tour du monde MMA<\/h3>\n

Nam est pass\u00e9 pro en 2006, et pendant plus d’une d\u00e9cennie il a encha\u00een\u00e9 les promotions \u2014 EliteXC, World Series of Fighting, King of the Cage, Fight Nights Global \u2014 en construisant un nom \u00e0 coups de finitions. En 2012, il met KO Eduardo Dantas au premier round lors d’un \u00e9v\u00e9nement Shooto Brasil. Dantas \u00e9tait alors champion Bellator poids coq, une vraie performance pour quelqu’un d’aussi peu connu \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque. En avril 2016, sur un \u00e9v\u00e9nement Fight Nights Global, il r\u00e8gle son compte \u00e0 Ali Bagautinov d’un coup de pied \u00e0 la t\u00eate \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re seconde du combat. Bagautinov avait d\u00e9fi\u00e9 Demetrious Johnson pour le titre UFC deux ans plus t\u00f4t. Ces deux victoires ont suffi \u00e0 mettre Nam sur le radar des grandes organisations.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l’UFC : deux bonus \u00ab\u00a0Performance of the Night\u00a0\u00bb et une belle r\u00e9sistance<\/h3>\n

Nam rejoint l’UFC en 2019 et y passe quatre ans dans la division flyweight. Son passage \u00e0 l’Octogone, c’est une histoire de contrastes : des d\u00e9faites aux points face \u00e0 des adversaires solides comme Sergio Pettis (septembre 2019) ou Kai Kara-France (f\u00e9vrier 2020), mais aussi deux nuits qui justifient \u00e0 elles seules sa pr\u00e9sence dans la ligue. Le 13 juin 2020, face \u00e0 Zarrukh Adashev, il prend d’abord un gros coup de pied avant d’encha\u00eener avec un direct du droit qui \u00e9teint le prospect invaincu en 32 secondes. Bonus \u00ab\u00a0Performance of the Night\u00a0\u00bb m\u00e9rit\u00e9. Deux ans plus tard, \u00e0 San Diego le 13 ao\u00fbt 2022, il contre un flying knee d’Ode’ Osbourne avec un coup de poing d\u00e9vastateur \u00e0 2h59 du premier round. Deuxi\u00e8me bonus. C’est exactement le genre de fighting que le public MMA retient : tu ne sais jamais quand Nam va appuyer sur le bouton.<\/p>\n

Style et ce qui fait sa sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Sur un record de 23 victoires, 15 arrivent avant la limite \u2014 dont 9 au premier round. C’est un finisseur pur, avec une pr\u00e9cision de frappe \u00e0 34 % et une capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 encaisser et \u00e0 attendre son moment. Sa d\u00e9fense aux frappes tourne autour de 65 %, ce qui l’a parfois mis en difficult\u00e9 face aux techniciens (11 d\u00e9faites aux points), mais sa puissance en division flyweight est r\u00e9elle et document\u00e9e. Il s’entra\u00eene \u00e0 Hawaii Elite MMA.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s une d\u00e9faite par soumission technique face \u00e0 Bruno Gustavo da Silva en mars 2023 et une d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e perdue contre Azat Maksum, Nam est lib\u00e9r\u00e9 du roster UFC. Il poursuit sa carri\u00e8re dans des promotions comme Karate Combat et Dirty Boxing. \u00c0 40 ans pass\u00e9s, avec un bilan de 23-16-1 dont deux bonus \u00e0 l’Octogone et des KO sur des anciens top 10 mondiaux, il reste une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence pour quiconque s’int\u00e9resse \u00e0 l’histoire du flyweight.<\/p>\n
