Valter Walker has a rather unpromising feeling about his friend Tallison Xicão's duel at UFC Macau , scheduled for next Saturday (30). The Brazilian giant was scheduled to face Sergei Pavlovich on the card held in China and, although the confrontation represents a great opportunity for the Minas Gerais native to enter the top 5 of the heavyweights (up to 120,2 kg), his compatriot believes that he will have a very tough mission ahead.
In an Instagram post, Valter Walker mocked the situation by suggesting that Xicão might end up defeated. In the shared image, the Brazilian appears inside a coffin, at his own wake, while Alex Poatan , who participated in Tallison's preparation, and Walker himself are seen crying next to the body. Pavlovich is portrayed as a gravedigger, coldly observing the scene.
Valter messed up with Xicão's joke 😅😂

With two wins in three fights in the organization, Tallison Xicão will have a golden opportunity at UFC Macau . Currently ranked 15th in the heavyweight division, the Brazilian faces Sergei Pavlovich , who occupies the third position in the category. In theory, a victory could put the Minas Gerais native very close to a title shot, possibly just one more win away.
