Kevin \u00ab\u00a0Quicksand\u00a0\u00bb Natividad \u2014 le lutteur qui aspire ses adversaires dans le sable<\/h2>\n

Des tapis de lyc\u00e9e \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

Kevin Natividad a grandi \u00e0 San Diego, o\u00f9 il s’est forg\u00e9 sur les tapis de lutte du lyc\u00e9e Rancho Buena Vista. Lutteur de niveau \u00e9tat en Californie, il encha\u00eene avec des \u00e9tudes d’Exercise Science \u00e0 Cal State San Marcos \u2014 le genre de cursus o\u00f9 on apprend \u00e0 comprendre le corps autant qu’\u00e0 le punir. En 2011, il pousse la porte d’Alliance MMA \u00e0 Chula Vista et bascule vers le MMA professionnel. Ceinture marron de BJJ, son surnom \u00ab\u00a0Quicksand\u00a0\u00bb ne vient pas d’un coup de marketing : lors d’un tournoi grappling, un pote l’a regard\u00e9 plaquer et soumettre tout le tableau un par un avant de l\u00e2cher que combattre Kevin, c’est comme tomber dans des sables mouvants. Le nom a coll\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Mont\u00e9e en puissance sur les circuits r\u00e9gionaux<\/h3>\n

Ses d\u00e9buts pro remontent \u00e0 novembre 2016, avec une soumission par rear-naked choke en premier round face \u00e0 Josue Rodriguez (WFF 32). Il encha\u00eene ensuite une s\u00e9rie de victoires sur le circuit LFA \u2014 la ligue qui alimente r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement l’UFC. En juin 2018, il met KO Tyler Bialecki d\u00e8s le premier round (LFA 44). Sa seule fausse note sur cette p\u00e9riode : une d\u00e9faite exp\u00e9ditive en 9 secondes face \u00e0 Glen Baker \u00e0 LFA 24 en octobre 2017 \u2014 l’un de ces soirs o\u00f9 rien ne se passe comme pr\u00e9vu. Champion bantamweight USA MMAF et double titr\u00e9 chez Destiny MMA, il continue \u00e0 empiler les victoires avec un taux de finish \u00e0 67 % avant de d\u00e9crocher son contrat UFC en 2020.<\/p>\n

Trois rounds \u00e0 l’UFC, trois le\u00e7ons difficiles<\/h3>\n

Natividad d\u00e9barque dans l’octogone le 31 octobre 2020 face \u00e0 Miles Johns lors d’un UFC Fight Night. Le combat tient trois rounds, mais c’est Johns qui termine par KO \u00e0 2:51 du troisi\u00e8me. Six mois plus tard, \u00e0 l’UFC 261 du 24 avril 2021, c’est encore pire : Batgerel Danaa le stoppe en 50 secondes chrono d’un crochet gauche qui fait mouche. Son troisi\u00e8me essai, le 19 novembre 2022 contre Ricky Turcios, est diff\u00e9rent \u2014 il tient la distance, pousse le combat jusqu’au bout, mais perd sur d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e. Trois d\u00e9faites, z\u00e9ro soumission encaiss\u00e9e. Il quitte l’UFC avec un bilan 0-3 mais sans jamais avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en danger sur le sol.<\/p>\n

Le chemin du retour<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s 2022, une s\u00e9rie de gal\u00e8res s’encha\u00eene : blessures, adversaires qui se d\u00e9sistent, combats tomb\u00e9s \u00e0 l’eau plusieurs fois en 2023. Trois ans sans comp\u00e9tition. Quand il revient enfin \u00e0 LFA 220 le 25 octobre 2025 face \u00e0 Ryan Kuse, les juges lui refusent la victoire sur d\u00e9cision unanime (29-28 sur toutes les cartes). Pas de quoi le convaincre de raccrocher. Le 2 mai 2026, au RUF 68 : Cinco De Mayo Fight Night, il bat David Perez aux points et signe sa premi\u00e8re victoire depuis juillet 2020. Son bilan actuel est de 10 victoires et 5 d\u00e9faites. Entra\u00een\u00e9 \u00e0 Fight Ready \u00e0 Scottsdale (Arizona), Kevin Natividad n’a visiblement pas fini de se battre.<\/p>\n
