Early Background
Sports were a significant part of Peltier's early life. At age 13, he excelled at handball, winning competitions for clubs such as Pont-Audemer and Beuzeville, until he turned 18. Reaching a professional level, Peltier shifted his focus. He also had a strong interest in boxing and kickboxing. Kickboxing was popular in Marseille during this time. Peltier fought and won several amateur kickboxing matches. He gained recognition for his boxing success, leading to an offer to become a bodyguard for Olympique de Marseille players. This period also included Marseille's championship win in 2010.
Career
Following his marriage and the birth of his first child, Peltier moved to Bulgaria in 2014. His entrepreneurial skills and passion for business led him to the hospitality and club scene, where he opened and managed several clubs. Around this time, he opened a kickboxing club, which evolved into a Mixed Martial Arts club.
Peltier began accompanying fighters to Russian organizations and Eastern European countries to provide coaching and mentoring. His involvement in various promotions transitioned him into a management role. He subsequently formed Bulgarian Top Team Management.
Bulgarian Top Team
In 2016, Peltier began coaching and managing Malik Merad, the first Frenchman on the team. Despite facing four consecutive losses and doubts from peers, Peltier guided Merad to four victories, including wins against challenging organizations (such as ACB in Russia). This success established credibility for Bulgarian Top Team in the MMA arena, attracting additional athletes. Merad signed with global promotion BRAVE CF in 2021. [1] [2]
Peltier's first UFC signing was Fares Ziam, who began his professional career in 2014 with Lyon Fighting Championships.[3] Ziam's talent earned him recognition from the UFC.[4] More recently, a second BTT fighter, Benoit "God of War" St. Denis, was signed to the UFC. He will compete in a welterweight bout at UFC 267.[5] Benoit "God of War" St. Denis is known for his submission skills and currently ranks #1 in Western Europe for pro welterweights.[6] His head coach is Daniel Woirin.[7]
Heavyweight Tony Johnson (fighter) is also managed by Peltier. Johnson has experience with global promotions such as King of the Cage, Bellator MMA, and ONE Fighting Championship.[8] Johnson, an American MMA fighter, is currently the three-time ACA Heavyweight Champion.[9] Other notable champions under Peltier's management include Morgan "The Last Pirate" Charrière, currently fighting for Cage Warriors; Mohamed "L'Ambiance" Said Maalem and Amin Ayoub, both currently fighting for BRAVE CF; and Karl Amoussou, a former Bellator tournament champion and Cage Warriors champion, now fighting for Hexagone MMA.[10] [11] [12]
Peltier has developed and operates a talent-scouting program to identify and sign promising prospects, providing mentorship to these athletes under Bulgarian Top Team Management.
Training Camp
Peltier established and manages the Bulgarian Top Team Training Camp, a prominent training facility in Europe.[13] Athletes from various countries attend a two-week training program in Bulgaria. The camp serves as a valuable platform for training experienced fighters and identifying new MMA talents.[14]
