Heavyweight sensation (up to 120,2 kg), Valter Walker increased his hype at UFC Abu Dhabi . At the event held last Saturday (25), the Brazilian confirmed his favoritism by finishing Thomas Petersen in just over a minute of fighting. As could not be otherwise, the athlete, upon securing his fifth consecutive victory, exuded confidence when projecting his future in the biggest MMA organization in the world.
In an interview with the UFC itself, Valter warned fighters in the traditional weight class. This is because the Brazilian achieved an impressive winning streak via first-round submission. Furthermore, the bad boy innovated at UFC Abu Dhabi.
Previously, the athlete won four fights via heel hook, and now he has applied a calf hook. Therefore, the surging Walker is threatening the top names in the division, as he is one of the few heavyweights with jiu-jitsu knowledge and is becoming increasingly lethal on the ground.
“If you’re ready for the heel hook, I have a variation to find a way to win the fight. If the fight goes to the ground, watch out. I’ll surprise you every time,” said the fighter.
