In an interview with the channel 'Laerte Viana na Área', Valter highlights that Johnny, with his unique fighting style, will be a major attraction for the heavyweight division and has no doubt that he will soon be in the spotlight. It's true that the athlete has only one victory in his last five fights. However, the bad boy's excitement about his brother's arrival in the category is so great that he ignores his brother's poor form and asserts that not even the top fighters will be able to stop him.

"Johnny fits into any game. If they give Poatan to Johnny, Johnny wins. Johnny will be the heavyweight champion next year. I think in the heavyweight division he will be the most explosive, one of the most explosive, one of those with the best cardio and one of the fastest guys, with the most technical striking. In the heavyweight division, I don't see anyone more fluid and explosive than him."

"Who is the most fluid heavyweight if not Johnny? I don't see anyone with Johnny's fighting style in the heavyweight division. When Johnny comes in doing a backflip in the middle of the cage, Michel Pereira style , the return, throwing a flying knee, weighing 110 kg, kicking the head, throwing a spinning kick. Have you seen Johnny's high kick? What heavyweight has a high kick like Johnny's?"
