Brandon \u00ab\u00a0Killer B\u00a0\u00bb Davis : le v\u00e9t\u00e9ran UFC reconverti en guerrier pieds nus<\/h2>\n

Un d\u00e9but tardif, une trajectoire atypique<\/h3>\n

Brandon Michael Davis a mis les gants tardivement. N\u00e9 le 8 mai 1990 \u00e0 Atlanta, G\u00e9orgie, il ne d\u00e9couvre le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien qu’\u00e0 20 ans, sur le campus de la Mississippi State University. Quatre mois plus tard, il monte sur le tapis pour son premier combat. Pas le profil classique du gamin \u00e9lev\u00e9 dans une salle depuis l’enfance \u2014 et pourtant, cette entr\u00e9e tardive dans les sports de combat va l’emmener jusqu’\u00e0 l’UFC.<\/p>\n

Il forge son CV dans les promotions r\u00e9gionales du Sud des \u00c9tats-Unis (Summit FC, Island Fights) avant de d\u00e9crocher son contrat UFC le 1er ao\u00fbt 2017 en battant Austin Arnett aux points lors de la Contender Series de Dana White. Son style au sol, taill\u00e9 sous la houlette d’Alan Belcher et du Roufusport, lui vaut une ceinture violette en BJJ et une ceinture marron en Muay Thai.<\/p>\n

La vie dans l’octogone : entre \u00e9clairs et d\u00e9sillusions<\/h3>\n

Son d\u00e9buts en UFC le 20 janvier 2018 \u00e0 l’UFC 220 face \u00e0 Kyle Bochniak se solde par une d\u00e9faite aux points, mais \u00ab\u00a0Killer B\u00a0\u00bb ne tarde pas \u00e0 montrer ce qu’il a dans le ventre. Moins d’un mois plus tard, le 18 f\u00e9vrier 2018, il arrache le Fight of the Night contre Steven Peterson dans un combat hach\u00e9, intense, qui r\u00e9sume bien son MMA : technique correcte, mais go\u00fbt marqu\u00e9 pour la baston qui s’\u00e9ternise.<\/p>\n

La nuit du 13 avril 2019 \u00e0 l’UFC 236 reste son meilleur souvenir de carte. Face \u00e0 Randy Costa, Davis conclut au deuxi\u00e8me round par une \u00e9tranglement en rear-naked choke \u00e0 1 min 12 de la reprise \u2014 propre, efficace, et inattendu pour quelqu’un qui encaisse souvent de lourdes d\u00e9cisions. Dans la foul\u00e9e, il bat Giga Chikadze aux points (28 septembre 2019), un r\u00e9sultat qui para\u00eet anecdotique sur le moment mais prend de la valeur quand on voit la suite de la carri\u00e8re du G\u00e9orgien.<\/p>\n

Le reste de son passage \u00e0 l’UFC est plus douloureux. La soir\u00e9e UFC 228 du 8 septembre 2018 vire au cauchemar : Zabit Magomedsharipov l’\u00e9touffe en fin de deuxi\u00e8me round, d\u00e9montrant la distance qui s\u00e9pare Davis des vrais espoirs du division. Il encaisse neuf d\u00e9faites en d\u00e9cision au total dans sa carri\u00e8re UFC, lib\u00e9r\u00e9 par la promotion d\u00e9but 2023 avec un bilan de 2-7 sous la banni\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s l’UFC : le poing nu comme nouvelle fronti\u00e8re<\/h3>\n

Plut\u00f4t que de raccrocher, Davis se tourne vers la Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA de Jorge Masvidal. Le 15 novembre 2024, \u00e0 Biloxi (Mississippi), il dispute le tout premier titre mondial poids coq de la promotion face \u00e0 un adversaire qu’il conna\u00eet bien : Randy Costa, celui-l\u00e0 m\u00eame qu’il avait soumis \u00e0 l’UFC 236 cinq ans plus t\u00f4t. Le combat tourne court : Davis staggere Costa dans le premier round, mais lui ass\u00e8ne un genou sur l’adversaire au sol. Arr\u00eat de l’action \u00e0 2 min 47 de la reprise, d\u00e9cision de no-contest. Le titre reste vacant. La revanche, au moins symbolique, n’aura pas lieu ce soir-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Ce qu’il faut retenir<\/h3>\n

Brandon Davis n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 la star sur laquelle l’UFC aurait tout mis\u00e9, mais il a su durer dans l’une des divisions les plus encombr\u00e9es du MMA mondial. Son record professionnel oscille entre 14 et 15 victoires selon les sources, avec un taux de finitions d’environ 58 %. Combattant complet sans \u00eatre dominant dans aucun registre, il continue de chercher son titre dans les nouvelles promotions qui font la part belle aux francs-tireurs. \u00ab\u00a0Killer B\u00a0\u00bb n’a pas encore l\u00e2ch\u00e9 l’affaire.<\/p>\n
