One of the most insane characters in MMA today, Valter Walker did it again. At the UFC Abu Dhabi ceremonial weigh-in , held this Friday (24), the Brazilian, a jiu-jitsu specialist, simply made Thomas Petersen , his opponent, uncomfortable during the face-off. The reason? A rather unusual gesture.
When he came face to face with the American, the bad boy , wearing his trademark necklace with one foot dangling from it, aimed at the American's foot and 'shot'. Always playful , Valter even made the sound of the shots and watched Petersen, with a serious expression, walk away.

And attitude can even be his strategy in the fight. It's worth highlighting that Valter is in great form in his career, with four consecutive wins, all by heel hook in the first round. Therefore, the expectation is that the Brazilian will manage to take another foot home.
See the moment
In search of the sixth title! 😅
