Valter Walker hopes to renegotiate contract with UFC Abu Dhabi win: ‘I’m not stupid’ to fight ranked heavyweights ‘for peanuts’
UFC Abu Dhabi will be crucial for rising heavyweight prospect Valter Walker, who closes in on the top of the division on a four-fight finishing streak. For that, however, he wants to be paid accordingly.
Walker tapped out Junior Tafa, Don’Tale Mayes, Kennedy Nzechukwu, and Louie Sutherland in a span of 14 months, all in the first round, and now takes on Thomas Petersen on July 25. After a long layoff to recover from a broken leg, an injury suffered against Sutherland, Walker wants to waste no time on the sidelines and get a quick turnaround on the next Abu Dhabi show — likely in October.
Like Ronda Rousey's armbars, Valter Walker plans to heel hook way to UFC gold
Valter Walker sees no reason why he can't emulate Ronda Rousey's path to UFC gold.
UFC Hall of Famer Rousey snatched up opponents' arms left and right, making the armbar her signature finish. UFC heavyweight Walker (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) has fallen in love with hooking the heels of his opposition, making it his own signature submission.
"Before, I did that in the gym, but when you do that in UFC, the first time, this give me a lot of confidence in myself, in this skill," Walker told UFC.com. "I started training this one more in the gym, and believe more – and when I do more in the fighting, I believe more in myself, you know? This give me a lot of confidence in this move. I started it from everywhere."

MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi
The UFC train rolls on. UFC Oklahoma City was a fairly exciting card (I went 11-1, thank you very much), and the UFC hopes for the same this weekend in Abu Dhabi. For my MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi, I’ve got a live dog from the prelims. Let’s get it on, c’mon!
Anything can happen in an MMA fight, especially in the heavyweight division with the amount of power athletes that size can generate. So going in on a heavyweight dog is a solid strategy. That’s what I’m doing this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
