Enjoying a great phase in his career, Valter Walker is more than willing to return to action. In July, in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the Brazilian secured his fifth consecutive victory by submitting Thomas Petersen in just over a minute and established himself in the top 10 of the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg). Since then, the bad boy has defined Derrick Lewis as his main target and has been provoking him , but it seems he has changed his mind.

On his official Instagram account, Valter revealed a new list of targets, which still includes the name of the UFC's all-time leading knockout artist (16 times). However, now the 'Foot Hunter' has prioritized an old acquaintance: Vitor Petrino . It's worth noting that, like his rival, 'Cabuloso' is on a high in the division, with four wins and has surpassed him in the rankings, taking eighth place. In any case, if he doesn't get the fights, the athlete also mentioned three other options in the division.
"It doesn't matter: 1 – Petrino, 2 – Lewis, 3 – Gaziev, 4 – Spivac, 5 – Delija," he wrote.
