Carl \u00ab\u00a0The Anishinaabe Kid\u00a0\u00bb Deaton III<\/h2>\n

L’identit\u00e9 avant tout<\/h3>\n

Carl Deaton III ne monte pas sur la balance comme les autres. \u00c0 chaque pes\u00e9e, il se peint le visage aux couleurs de la tradition Anishinaabe \u2014 peuple algonquin des Grands Lacs \u2014 en hommage \u00e0 ses racines am\u00e9rindiennes. C’est son oncle George qui lui a donn\u00e9 ce surnom, et Deaton l’a transform\u00e9 en \u00e9tendard. Originaire de Mount Pleasant, Michigan, il cite Geronimo comme mod\u00e8le d’inspiration. Le mec qui veut devenir \u00ab\u00a0une ic\u00f4ne\u00a0\u00bb n’a pas choisi ce mot au hasard.<\/p>\n

Parcours r\u00e9gional et mont\u00e9e vers l’UFC<\/h3>\n

Tout commence le 31 juillet 2008 \u00e0 Midland, Michigan, apr\u00e8s seulement trois mois d’entra\u00eenement en boxe. Son coach Jody Bass l’a pouss\u00e9 dans le grand bain tr\u00e8s vite \u2014 et Deaton a mordu. Il b\u00e2tit sa r\u00e9putation sur le circuit r\u00e9gional am\u00e9ricain, remportant des titres chez Nato Promotions, TWC MMA et 864 FC, et affiche \u00e0 un moment le rang de num\u00e9ro 1 au 145 lbs dans le Michigan. Il passe par la PFL en 2021, y essuie une d\u00e9faite, puis revient avec deux victoires cons\u00e9cutives sur le circuit Michigan \u2014 dont un succ\u00e8s \u00e0 la d\u00e9cision sur l’ancien combattant UFC Justin Jaynes en f\u00e9vrier 2022. Cela lui ouvre les portes de l’octogone.<\/p>\n

Style : un sp\u00e9cialiste de la soumission<\/h3>\n

Son bilan de 17 victoires en comprend 9 par soumission \u2014 strangulations arri\u00e8re, guillotines, choke brasero. Il se d\u00e9place bien au sol, encha\u00eene les transitions. En revanche, sa d\u00e9fense au sol et son contr\u00f4le de position ont \u00e9t\u00e9 point\u00e9s du doigt comme ses principales lacunes. C\u00f4t\u00e9 percussion, il a quand m\u00eame 3 KO\/TKO au compteur, ce qui en fait un combattant capable de finir les combats des deux fa\u00e7ons.<\/p>\n

Dans l’octogone UFC<\/h3>\n

Son passage \u00e0 l’UFC tient en deux combats. Le 25 f\u00e9vrier 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 70, il fait ses d\u00e9buts en remplacement au pied lev\u00e9 face \u00e0 Joe Solecki, sp\u00e9cialiste du grappling. Solecki prend vite son dos en premi\u00e8re reprise et le conclut par \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re au round 2 (4:55). Deaton rempile cinq mois plus tard, le 15 juillet 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Vegas 77, contre Alex Munoz. Cette fois-ci, c’est la percussion qui pose probl\u00e8me : Munoz l’envoie au tapis plusieurs fois et s’impose aux points, d\u00e9cision unanime (30-27, 30-27, 30-26). Deux d\u00e9faites, un passage UFC \u00e9clair.<\/p>\n

Statut actuel<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s juillet 2023, aucun combat officiel n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9. Tapology le signale inactif depuis plus de deux ans. Son record professionnel s’arr\u00eate \u00e0 17 victoires et 7 d\u00e9faites, auxquelles s’ajoutent 2 no contests. \u00c0 33 ans, il reste entra\u00een\u00e9 \u00e0 l’American Top Team, mais son avenir en comp\u00e9tition est incertain \u00e0 cette date.<\/p>\n
