It seems like Walter Walker found a worthy rival in the UFC, at least in terms of his sense of humor. The Brazilian, known for his laid-back demeanor outside the octagon, was scheduled to face Mohammed Usman at UFC Rio. However, the Nigerian failed a drug test, and now Walker measures forces with Louie Sutherland No. UFC 321, scheduled for next Saturday (25).

In a post on Instagram, Louie Sutherland Valter provoked the Brazilian with a series of images. In one of the photos, created with the help of artificial intelligence, Valter appears crying and hugging a pillow. In the caption, the Scotsman pointed out his rival's physical resemblance to the character Sloth from The Goonies and stated that he will win the duel by knockout.

“Just under a week until 'Sloth from the Goonies' falls asleep and cries into his pillow,” Sutherland wrote.

After debuting with defeat in Ultimate, Walter Walker turned his career around, racking up three consecutive victories, all by heel hook in the first round. Louie, meanwhile, will be making his UFC debut and boasts a record of ten wins and three losses.
