Apparently, the UFC is unwilling to respect Valter Walker 's career plan . Representing Brazil in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg), the fighter has made it clear that he prefers to avoid ranked opponents at this time, advancing cautiously in the category. However, according to journalist Alex Behunin, the 'foot hunter' has been scheduled to face the 10th-ranked fighter, Marcin Tybura , at UFC Seattle , scheduled for March 28th.
After a disappointing debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Valter Walker bounced back and strung together four consecutive victories. All of his wins came via heel hook submission in the first round, a performance that propelled him to 14th place in the division's rankings.
