A standout in the UFC heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg), Valter Walker was truly touched by Talisson Xicão's crushing defeat at UFC Macau . Last Saturday (1st), in China, the giant, standing two meters tall, was brutally knocked out by Sergei Pavlovich in just 39 seconds of fighting. After the athlete's traumatic appearance in the octagon, the bad boy extended his hand with the intention of helping him.
On his official 'X' account, Valter surprised everyone by inviting Xicão to train at his 'GOR MMA' academy in Russia. It's quite true that the Brazilian's newest tormentor is a friend and training partner of Johnny Walker 's brother on the team.

It's worth noting that, before the fight took place, Valter warned Xicão not to face Pavlovich, believing the challenge was beyond his reach. As his prediction was correct, the bad boy, concerned about the direction the giant's career is taking, is determined to see him make a comeback in the UFC.
"The doors are open, I've already spoken with my team, it just depends on them," wrote the UFC prospect.
A magical moment in the UFC.
After debuting with a loss in the UFC, 28-year-old Valter Walker has turned things around in the octagon. Currently, the Brazilian has four consecutive victories, all by heel hook in the first round. As a result, he has entered the heavyweight rankings and is now ranked 13th.
