Jimmy Vienot (born June 9, 1995) is a French Muay Thai kickboxer who is the reigning SUPERKOMBAT World Middleweight Champion. He is a former Lumpinee Stadium and Arena Fight champion. As of December 20, 2023, he is ranked #4 in the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai rankings.[1]

Biography and career

Early career

Jimmy started Muay Thai at 13 years old in the Star Boxing gym of Montpellier, the city where he grew up since the age of 10. He chose Muay Thai after quitting Judo which lacked intensity to his taste.[2] In 2012 and 2013 Jimmy became European champion in amateur competitions and established himself as one of the most promising French fighter.[3] He should have competed in the IFMA 2014 World Championship but his trip wasn't funded because his gym didn't match the federation requirements.[4]

Vienot made his professional debut during the summer of 2013 in Thailand[5] and then in France in September where he showed he was already a force to be reckoned at 18 years old by winning a one night tournament.[6] A month later Jimmy engaged himself in the Fight tournament and was eliminated in the semi-final by Ruslan Kushnirenko in a controversial decision.[7] Three weeks later Vienot fought for his first world title against Singmanee Kaewsamrit, he lost by decision.[8]

After racking up wins on the French scene against top fighters like Rafi Bohic[9] and Gaetan Dambo, Jimmy entered the July 2017 Toyota Marathon tournament where he faced thai legend Petchboonchu FA Group in the semi-final. He lost the fight but was very happy with the experience he gained.[10]

Jimmy was eliminated in the first round of the 2014 IFMA European Championship by Itay Gershon. He was asked to be in a super fight for the closing ceremony of the event, he lost a decision to hometown fighter Oskar Stazska.[11]

On November 15 Jimmy suffered the first and only knockout loss of his career when he faced thai champion Pakorn PKSaenchaimuaythaigym in the Topking World Series event. Pakorn landed a left hook that made Jimmy faceplant in the first round.[12]

After losing to Bobo Sacko in a fight at the top of the French scene, Jimmy had a 17-3 record during 2015 and 2016. Only losing to Thai champions Chanajon and twice to top fighter Yodwicha Por Boonsit. His last fight of 2016 saw him win his first world title when he knocked out Brazilian champion Jose Neto in the second round with an elbow. Two months later Vienot won his second world title, the WBC belt against Denpanom Kirakorat at the legendary Rajadamnern Stadium.

GLORY

During 2017-2018 Vienot continued his ascension in Muay Thai winning the All Star Muay Thai one night tournament and winning a third world title against thai champion Sorgraw Petchyindee in late 2018. He also went back to amateur competition and won the IFMA European title. Vienot diversified himself during that time taking fights in kickboxing rules against top fighters like Mohamed Hendouf, Wilson Varela and signing with Glory kickboxing to face champion and title challenger Cedric Doumbe and Alim Nabiev.

Muay Thai

In April 2019 Vienot became the fourth non thai fighter to win the Lumpinee Stadium title, beating Talaytong Sor.Thanaphet by decision.[13] Following that win Vienot had his biggest kickboxing rules success yet a month later by beating Vedat Hoduk for the newly created Arena Fight title.[14]

In August 2019 Vienot won the IFMA World championship and received the award for "Best athlete" of the competition.

Vienot faced Yodwicha Banchamek for the vacant WMC Middleweight Championship at Empire Fight: Vikings Edition on October 2, 2021. He won by decision.[15]

SUPERKOMBAT

In the fall of 2021, Vienot signed with the Superkombat Fighting Championship. He made his promotional debut at Superkombat Universe on November 1, 2021, against Arman Ambaryan for the world middleweight title.[16][17] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[18]

ONE Championship

Vienot made his ONE Championship debut at ONE 157 on May 20, 2022, where he faced Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy for the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship.[19] He lost the fight by split decision.[20]

Vienot faced Niclas Larsen at ONE 162 on October 21, 2022.[21] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[22]

On March 18, 2023, in Nice, France Vienot lost to Youssef Assouik by unanimous decision during a defense of his WMC World 160 lbs title.[23] After this defeat Vienot announced that his Muay Thai career was done and that he would focus on mixed martial arts from this point on.[24]

Mixed martial arts career

Vienot made his mixed martial arts debut on September 3, 2021 at UAE Warriors 22 against Daniel Donchenko. He won the fight by decision.[25]

ARES Fighting Championship

On March 1, 2023, it was announced that Vienot had signed with ARES Fighting Championship and would make his promotional debut on May 11, 2023.[26]
