Pas une vague ambition de gamin \u2014 une obsession qui structure toute sa vie d&rsquo;adulte, au point de laisser une carri\u00e8re d&rsquo;ing\u00e9nieur sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9. N\u00e9 le 15 ao\u00fbt 1996, il boxe sous le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Mad Dog\u00a0\u00bb dans la cat\u00e9gorie des poids l\u00e9gers (155 lbs). Un sobriquet qui colle : il avance, cherche le contact, n&rsquo;abandonne pas un \u00e9change facilement.<\/p>\n<h3>La rampe de lancement : Cage Warriors<\/h3>\n<p>C&rsquo;est en Angleterre, sous la banni\u00e8re Cage Warriors, que Figlak construit sa r\u00e9putation entre 2020 et 2022. Six combats, six victoires, dont plusieurs arr\u00eats m\u00e9morables. En septembre 2020, il stoppe Oban Elliott \u00e0 la troisi\u00e8me reprise (CW 114). Deux mois plus tard, il exp\u00e9die Anthony O&rsquo;Connor en 17 secondes au deuxi\u00e8me round (CW 117). En mars 2021, c&rsquo;est un arr\u00eat m\u00e9dical face \u00e0 Steven Hooper (CW 120). Il conclut cette s\u00e9rie sur d\u00e9cision unanime face \u00e0 Kieran Lister (CW 129, octobre 2021) et Stevie McIntosh (CW 132, d\u00e9cembre 2021). Six combats gagn\u00e9s, z\u00e9ro d\u00e9faite. L&rsquo;UFC frappe \u00e0 sa porte.<\/p>\n<h3>L&rsquo;UFC : deux d\u00e9faites, dont une qui fait mal aux yeux<\/h3>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC se font en grande pompe, \u00e0 Paris, le 3 septembre 2022, lors du UFC Fight Night Gane vs. Tuivasa. En face : le Fran\u00e7ais Fares Ziam, combattant du cru devant son public. Figlak perd aux points, 27-30 sur deux cartes et 28-29 sur la troisi\u00e8me \u2014 une d\u00e9faite nette sur laquelle il n&rsquo;y a pas grand-chose \u00e0 redire.<\/p>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s ce premier revers, il pr\u00e9pare un retour \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 286 \u00e0 Londres en mars 2023 face \u00e0 Chris Duncan \u2014 mais une d\u00e9chirure du LCA doubl\u00e9e d&rsquo;une d\u00e9chirure du m\u00e9nisque et d&rsquo;un tibia d\u00e9plac\u00e9 l&rsquo;oblige \u00e0 d\u00e9clarer forfait. Presque un an et demi sur la touche, op\u00e9ration, r\u00e9\u00e9ducation.<\/p>\n<p>Il revient le 27 avril 2024, \u00e0 Las Vegas, pour l&rsquo;UFC on ESPN 55, face \u00e0 l&rsquo;Am\u00e9ricain Austin Hubbard. Le combat est serr\u00e9, Figlak frappe mieux, presse davantage \u2014 mais les trois juges lui donnent 28-29. Un verdict qualifi\u00e9 dans les m\u00e9dias sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s de \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9cision la plus probl\u00e9matique du soir\u00a0\u00bb. La d\u00e9faite est officielle, le buzz reste amer. L&rsquo;UFC le lib\u00e8re le 16 janvier 2025 avec un bilan de 8 victoires et 2 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n<h3>La suite : retour aux sources<\/h3>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s son licenciement, Figlak a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que son r\u00eave \u00e9tait de combattre un jour en Pologne devant son public. \u00c0 28 ans, avec un record solide \u00e0 8-2 et des d\u00e9faites principalement sur d\u00e9cision, il reste un comp\u00e9titeur cr\u00e9dible pour les grandes promotions europ\u00e9ennes. L&rsquo;histoire avec l&rsquo;UFC s&rsquo;est ferm\u00e9e, mais pas celle de \u00ab\u00a0Mad Dog\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/michal-figlak\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/mma\/player\/michal-figlak-2327\">RotoWire<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/michal-mad-dog-figlak\">VerdictMMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michal \u00ab\u00a0Mad Dog\u00a0\u00bb Figlak, poids l\u00e9ger polonais (8-2), 6 victoires \u00e0 Cage Warriors avant l&rsquo;UFC, licenci\u00e9 en janvier 2025 apr\u00e8s deux d\u00e9faites aux points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":101642,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69973],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-106136","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-lightweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
