Alessio \u00ab\u00a0Manzo\u00a0\u00bb Di Chirico : le linebacker romain qui a fait le grand saut<\/h2>\n

De l’American football \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Avant de taper dans un punching-ball, Alessio Di Chirico tapait des plaquages en tant que linebacker sous les couleurs des Grizzlies Rome, \u00e9quipe de football am\u00e9ricain o\u00f9 il joue de 2008 \u00e0 2011. C’est ce gabarit athl\u00e9tique, ce physique de 1m83 pour 84 kg, que le Romain va convertir en MMA \u2014 avec une m\u00e9thode : la science du sport. Di Chirico passe par l’Universit\u00e9 Foro Italico de Rome, section Sciences du sport, avant d’enfiler les gants pour de bon. Le surnom \u00ab\u00a0Manzo\u00a0\u00bb (le b\u0153uf), h\u00e9rit\u00e9 justement de ses ann\u00e9es football, colle parfaitement \u00e0 un gars qui avance en ne reculant jamais.<\/p>\n

Un palmar\u00e8s amateur b\u00e9ton avant l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Di Chirico ne d\u00e9barque pas \u00e0 l’UFC par hasard. Il s’impose d’abord en amateur, remportant les titres nationaux italiens en 2012, 2013 et 2014, puis couronne l’ensemble en juillet 2014 avec le titre mondial IMMAF poids mi-lourds. En pro, il encha\u00eene neuf victoires cons\u00e9cutives dans les circuits europ\u00e9ens, dont le titre WFCA \u00e0 Prague, avant que la plus grande organisation MMA du monde ne l’invite enfin.<\/p>\n

Carri\u00e8re UFC : les hauts, les bas et le coup de pied qui a tout relanc\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts \u00e0 l’UFC le 10 avril 2016 face \u00e0 Bojan Velickovic se terminent par une d\u00e9faite aux points \u2014 un d\u00e9but difficile pour un n\u00e9o-professionnel qui d\u00e9couvre le niveau de la comp\u00e9tition mondiale. Il rel\u00e8ve la t\u00eate d\u00e8s l’\u00e9t\u00e9 suivant en battant Garreth McLellan aux points (UFC on FOX 21, ao\u00fbt 2016), mais le chemin reste sem\u00e9 d’emb\u00fbches : une soumission conc\u00e9d\u00e9e \u00e0 Eric Spicely en 2017, puis trois d\u00e9faites aux points cons\u00e9cutives contre Kevin Holland, Makhmud Muradov et Zak Cummings entre 2019 et 2020.<\/p>\n

Son grand moment arrive le 16 janvier 2021 \u00e0 Abu Dhabi lors de l’UFC on ABC 1. En face de lui, Joaquin Buckley \u2014 devenu viral quelques mois plus t\u00f4t gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un KO spectaculaire retourn\u00e9 au sol. Di Chirico met fin au buzz de \u00ab\u00a0Swat\u00a0\u00bb avec un coup de pied haut de toute beaut\u00e9 \u00e0 2:12 du premier round, bonus \u00ab\u00a0Performance of the Night\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 la cl\u00e9. Un KO qui rappelle que le b\u0153uf romain sait aussi \u00eatre pr\u00e9cis.<\/p>\n

La suite est plus sombre. Le 28 ao\u00fbt 2021, Abdul Razak Alhassan l’exp\u00e9die en 17 secondes \u2014 l’un des KO les plus rapides de sa carri\u00e8re. Il revient une derni\u00e8re fois face \u00e0 Roman Kopylov le 3 septembre 2022, s’incline par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round, et annonce sa retraite dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Bilan et h\u00e9ritage<\/h3>\n

Di Chirico termine avec un bilan pro de 13 victoires et 7 d\u00e9faites, dont 4-7 \u00e0 l’UFC en poids moyen. Ses 10 finishes (6 KO, 4 soumissions) t\u00e9moignent d’un combattant qui ne joue jamais la montre. En parall\u00e8le de sa carri\u00e8re de combattant, il a fond\u00e9 le GLORIA Fight Center \u00e0 Rome, passant le relais \u00e0 la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration suivante.<\/p>\n
