Walter Walker took advantage of the experience of fighting in Abu Dhabi (UAE) like never before. Last Saturday (25), the Brazilian, a heavyweight standout (up to 120,2 kg), achieved another triumph by submission via heel hook and earned one of the performance bonuses of UFC 321. In addition, the athlete, after impressing in the octagon, met none other than Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The footage of the professionals' encounter backstage at the event was made available on the UFC's official Instagram account. Upon meeting the Russian legend, Valter smiled. In turn, Khabib, greeting the Brazilian, acknowledged his grappling prowess and emphasized that it's a powerful weapon for him to exploit at heavyweight: "They don't do that."

As a friend of Walker revealed that the fighter's dream was to take a photo with the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), the company's Hall of Famer promptly posed alongside him. And Khabib's recognition proves that the Brazilian, with his fourth consecutive victory via heel hook in the first round, is moving up a level in the UFC.
