Brady \u00ab\u00a0Bam Bam\u00a0\u00bb Hiestand \u2014 Le gamin de Spokane qui frappe et soumet<\/h2>\n

De la salle de jiu-jitsu aux cages de l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Brady Hiestand n’a pas grandi dans une grande acad\u00e9mie MMA californienne. C’est \u00e0 Spokane Valley, dans le nord-ouest de Washington, qu’il a enfil\u00e9 son premier kimono \u00e0 14 ans, d\u00e9crochant une ceinture bleue kids IBJJF avant m\u00eame de penser \u00e0 frapper quoi que ce soit. \u00c0 18 ans, il signait son premier contrat pro \u2014 et depuis, il avance \u00e0 son rythme, sans fanfare, avec un palmar\u00e8s qui parle tout seul : 9 victoires, 2 d\u00e9faites, en bantamweight UFC.<\/p>\n

Son club de coeur, c’est Sik-Jitsu MMA \u00e0 Spokane, la m\u00eame salle qui a form\u00e9 Julianna Pe\u00f1a, la championne qui a renvers\u00e9 Amanda Nunes. Hiestand s’entra\u00eene r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 Las Vegas pour ses camps, mais la racine reste dans le Pacific Northwest \u2014 une sc\u00e8ne MMA connue pour \u00eatre particuli\u00e8rement rude et formative.<\/p>\n

TUF 29 : le plus jeune, le plus audacieux<\/h3>\n

En 2021, \u00e0 21 ans, Hiestand est le benjamin du casting de The Ultimate Fighter 29, saison bantamweight opposant les \u00e9quipes de Volkanovski et Ortega. Il d\u00e9barque avec un record de 5-1 en pro \u2014 solide, mais certains candidats affichaient dix combats de plus. \u00c7a ne l’a pas arr\u00eat\u00e9. En quarts de finale, il bat Josh Rettinghouse aux points (d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e) ; en demi-finale, il stoppe Vince Murdock en moins de quatre minutes au premier round. La finale face \u00e0 Ricky Turcios, le 28 ao\u00fbt 2021 \u00e0 Las Vegas, se joue sur un fil \u2014 Hiestand perd aux points en d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e, dans un combat que beaucoup jugent contestable. La nuance cruelle : il termine le show avec une rupture du ligament crois\u00e9 ant\u00e9rieur, des d\u00e9chirures partielles du m\u00e9nisque et du LCM. La r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration post-op\u00e9ratoire le tient \u00e9cart\u00e9 de l’octogone plus d’un an.<\/p>\n

Style de combat : finisseur multi-registres<\/h3>\n

Ce qui rend Hiestand dangereux, c’est sa polyvalence en finition. Sur 9 victoires, 4 sont venues par KO\/TKO et 3 par soumission \u2014 il ne laisse pas tra\u00eener les d\u00e9cisions quand il peut l’\u00e9viter. Sa ceinture marron en BJJ transpara\u00eet dans son jeu de sol, avec une pr\u00e9dilection pour le rear naked choke. En pied-poing, son arme pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e reste la roundhouse kick de jambe avant. Debout ou au sol, il peut \u00e9teindre les lumi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n

Combats notables \u00e0 l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Son premier vrai contrat UFC (hors TUF) d\u00e9bute en novembre 2022 avec une victoire aux points contre Fernie Garcia. En avril 2023, il franchit un cap s\u00e9rieux en stoppant Batgerel Danaa au troisi\u00e8me round (\u00e0 4:21, \u00e0 la t\u00eate), le Mongol n’\u00e9tant pas un figurant au tableau de chasse UFC. Puis en juin 2024, il soumet Garrett Armfield \u00e0 1:52 du troisi\u00e8me round par rear naked choke \u2014 sa troisi\u00e8me victoire de suite dans l’octogone, une s\u00e9quence qui l’installe comme nom \u00e0 surveiller en division.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Depuis la soumission d’Armfield en juin 2024, Hiestand est sans combat officiel \u2014 il s’\u00e9tait retir\u00e9 d’un duel pr\u00e9vu face \u00e0 Jake Hadley \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 99 (octobre 2024). \u00c0 25 ans, avec un record de 9-2 construit sur des finitions concr\u00e8tes, il reste un combattant en ascension dans un bantamweight UFC ultra-comp\u00e9titif. Le gamin de Spokane Valley qui se disait \u00ab\u00a0pas \u00e0 l’aise en classe\u00a0\u00bb l’est visiblement dans une cage.<\/p>\n
