Sadulaev poussé vers l'UFC ?
Puisque les instances sportives (CIO, UWW) et les administrations délivrant les visas (des pays membres de l'Union Européenne voire de l'OTAN), bloquent la carrière du meilleur lutteur de sa génération, Abdurashid Sadulaev, peut-être que celui-ci n'aura pas la possibilité d'accomplir sa destinée en lutte libre ; c'est-à-dire de devenir le meilleur de tous les temps.
Le Russe du Daghestan a déjà cumulé dix années de règne sur la discipline. Il n'a été privé de titre(s) que deux fois dans sa carrière internationale : par Kyle Snyder en 2017 et son jeune ex-compatriote Akhmed Tazhudinov en 2023. Mais Sadulaev est pourtant à "seulement" un ou deux titres, c'est-à-dire un mondial supplémentaire voire un troisième olympique (pour mettre tout le monde d'accord, par rapport à Alexander Medved) d'accéder au sommet de l'histoire alors qu'il n'a "que" 29 ans.
Du coup, Sadulaev pourrait bien être tenté de rejoindre l'organisation professionnelle de mma : l'UFC ; puisque plusieurs athlètes de cette prestigieuse organisation viennent déjà s'entraîner avec lui comme par exemple Magomed Ankalaev (champion UFC des 93kg) et Khamzat Chimaev (champion UFC des 84kg).

Visa issue stops 'Russian Tank' again
- Friday, 12 September 2025

Two-time Olympic, six-time World champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev has been barred from the World Wrestling Championships in Zagreb, a setback marking the fourth major tournament he's been forced to sit out in the past two years.
The Russian Wrestling Federation has confirmed on Thursday that Abdulrashid Sadulaev, who was due to compete in the 97kg category, was not granted a Schengen visa for entry into Croatia.
This recent setback follows similar visa-related issues that prevented him from participating in the 2024 European Championships in Romania and the 2025 European Championships in Slovakia.
In a post on his Telegram channel, Sadulaev expressed his disappointment but maintained a determined outlook. "We had three serious training camps and were in full combat readiness for the World Championships, but the story is repeating itself," he wrote.
He went on to thank his fans for their global support, stating, "I will continue to fight as long as I have the health and energy." Sadulaev also thanked his country for trying to help him until the very end. He concluded by wishing his replacement, Magomed Kurbanov, success.
Kurbanov, who successfully secured his visa for entry into Croatia, will take Sadulaev's place in the 97kg weight clas, like he did in Slovakia. He went on to win silver in Bratislava, and now ill be one of the medal contenders at the World Championships, which starts on Saturday.
Sadulaev's exclusion from major events dates back even further, as he was barred from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Despite qualifying, an International Olympic Committee (IOC) panel deemed him ineligible to compete under neutral status due to his ties with Russian military sports clubs. However, the 'Russian Tank' proved his enduring form by winning his sixth World Championship title in October 2024, triumphing in the non-Olympic 92kg division in Albania.
Sadulaev is the only Russian free-style wrestler, who was rejected visa. Tokyo 2020 and reigning world champion Zaurbek Sidakov was granted visa at the last moment. According to the Russian media, several Greco-Roman wrestlers are still waiting for their visas.

Abdulrashid Sadulaev Is Out For UWW 2025 Senior World Championships

denied a visa and will miss the 2025 UWW Senior World Championships.

Eight-time world and Olympic freestyle wrestling champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev was denied a travel visa by the Croatian government. United World Wrestling has confirmed that he will not participate in the 2025 UWW Senior World Championships.
UWW has updated their seeding and entry lists for the men's freestyle competition, which begins Saturday, September 13, at 4:30 AM Eastern time, and which you can find here.
Although the Russian Wrestling Federation is still suspended by UWW, Sadulaev and other Russian wrestlers have been competing at sanctioned UWW events as neutral athletes and under a neutral flag. Sadulaev was last seen competing at the 2024 World Championships, which featured non-Olympic weight classes, where he won his sixth world gold medal, defeating the likes of David Taylor and Iran's Kamran Ghasempour before reaching the gold-medal match.
Although sanctions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has resulted in Russian teams and athletes being barred from competing in past events, notably the 2024 Paris Olympics, according to Russian news sources, this current visa denial would appear to be the result of a mismanaged application process that started before the 2024 European Championships, and Sadulaev was otherwise cleared to compete at the World Championships by UWW.
Sadulaev is reportedly banned from traveling within Europe's Schengen Zone for the next 59 months, which would preclude him from competing in any events held in the majority of European countries. However, there is no reason to believe that Sadulaev would have difficulty competing in European countries outside the Schengen Zone, such as Albania, or in other parts of the world.
The seeds at 97kg do not change, as Sadulaev earned no 97kg seeding points at the 2024 World Championships, as he won the 92kg weight class, and UWW seeding points do not transfer weights. He also did not participate in any other tournaments that earned seeding points in 2024 or 2025, thus, he would have been randomly drawn into the bracket.
Kyle Snyder remains the #3 seed in the 97kg bracket and is a strong contender in a still-loaded division, which includes defending world and Olympic champion Akhmed Tazhudinov of Bahrain. The replacement for the Russian team competing as neutral athletes is Magomed Kurbanov, the 2025 European silver medalist at 97kg, who also has two other 92kg medals from Euros.
Action in the 97kg freestyle weight class begins Monday, September 15, at 4:30 AM Eastern and the medal matches are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 16, at 12:00 PM Eastern.

A chorus of boos rang out across Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena as Julio Cesar La Cruz was eliminated by a split decision loss to Aibek Oralbay in the World Boxing Championships 2025 men's +90kg semi-final on Friday, 12 September.
The double Olympic champion from Cuba had been second best for most of the contest, unable to match the Kazakh's superior punching power.
Every connection from the Central Asian was cheered by a large group of fans waving blue and yellow flags, and it seemed like the writing was on the wall for La Cruz.
But the 36-year-old legend wasn't willing to go down easily. A furious attack in the third round resulted in a standing 10 count for Oralbay, and wild celebrations from the Cuban's coaches who believed their man had done enough to snatch a late victory.
As the fighters waited for the result, La Cruz implored the crowd to increase the volume of their 'Julio' chants, but it was ultimately in vain, as the 3-2 split decision was announced to bring a bout of the highest class to an end.
La Cruz will leave with a bronze medal, while Oralbay progresses into the gold medal bout.

Julio Cesar La Cruz aux Championnats du monde de boxe amateur
Le meilleur boxeur amateur cubain depuis Felix Savon-Fabre est Julio Cesar La Cruz. Ce boxeur est un multiple champion du monde des 81kg et 92kg kg et double champion olympique 81kg en 2016 et 92kg en 2021. Mais il a été privé d'un troisième titre olympique en 2024, en étant éliminé au premier tour par l'Azeri d'origine cubaine Loren Alfonso (qui lui-même sera battu en finale par l'Ouzbek Lazizbek Mullojonov).
Pour les championnats du monde 2025, Julio Cesar La Cruz a choisi de briguer un titre dans une troisième catégorie de poids, celle des "super-lourds" (+90kg) alors qu'il ne pèse que 96kg pour 1m82 (là où ses principaux adversaires approchent les 2m).
A ce stade de la compétition, il vient de sa qualifier pour la demi-finale en éliminant par décision partagée (4-1) le représentant du pays hôte, le Britannique Damar Thomas (1m98). Il lui reste à affronter : Aibek Oralbay (KAZ) (1m88, 25 ans) en demi-finale puis, en cas de victoire, le vainqueur de l'autre demi-finale : 
Bayikewuzi Danabieke (CHN) (Chinois d'origine azéri mesurant 1m99, 28 ans) vs 
Jakhongir Zokirov (UZB) (1m98, 22 ans)

Les champions les plus redoutables de l'Histoire
L'étude de l'efficacité des différentes disciplines martiales sur la base des données des résultats des 5 premières années de l'UFC et des 5 premières années du PRIDE FC a permis d'identifier que la lutte est le sport (spécialisé dans un secteur du combat) le plus efficace (23,7% de chances de victoire) tandis que la combinaison des trois secteurs du combat (frappes à distance, corps-à-corps debout, combat au sol), c'est-à-dire le MMA (mixed martial art) donne à son pratiquant un pourcentage de chance de victoire (d'efficacité) de 50%.
Les onze (les deux dixièmes sont ex æquo) meilleurs combattants de l'Histoire des sports de combat mixtes (pankration/pancrace, sambo combat, mma ou autres) ont régné sur leur(s) discipline(s) entre 9 et 15 années. Ces champions sont :
- Dorieos de Rhodes (15 années de règne en pancrace)
- Archibius d'Alexandrie (14 années de règne en pancrace et simultanément 2 années en lutte)
- Astyanax de Milet (12 années de règne en pancrace)
- Sostratos de Sikyon dit "le briseur de doigts" (12 années de règne en pancrace)
- Arrhichion de Phigaleia (12 années de règne en pancrace)
- Demostratos Damas de Sardis (11 années de règne en pancrace et simultanément 3 années en pugilat/boxe)
- Kallias d'Athènes (11 années de règne en pancrace)
- Agias de Pharsalos (11 années de règne en pancrace)
- Timasithéos de Delphes (10 années de règne en pancrace)
- Fedor Emelianenko dit "le dernier empereur" (9 années de règne simultanément sur le sambo combat et le mma)
- Jones "Bones" Jones (9 années de règne sur le mma)
Seuls les cinq meilleurs lutteurs de l'Histoire peuvent être comparés à ces immenses champions à la redoutable efficacité en combat total ; compensant leur moindre efficacité (gamme technique limitée à la lutte pure, donc sans frappes ni combat au sol) par une longévité exceptionnelle :
- Milon de Crotone (27 années de règne en lutte "orthopale")
- Gaddar Kel Aliço (26 années de règne en lutte "yagli gures")
- Hipposthènes de Sparte (24 années de règne en lutte "orthopale")
- Hétoimoklès de Sparte (20 années de règne en lutte "orthopale")
- Namkhai de Mongolie alors province de l'Empire chinois (19 années de règne en lutte "bökh").
