Riding a five-fight winning streak, Valter Walker doesn't want to waste any more time in the world's biggest MMA organization. At UFC Abu Dhabi , an event held last Saturday (25), the Brazilian did what he wanted with Thomas Petersen and finished him in just over a minute of fighting in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg). As he barely broke a sweat in the octagon, the athlete has already defined his schedule in the company.
In an interview with the UFC itself, Valter revealed when and where he wants to fight next. It's true that the Brazilian didn't mention a specific target, nor did he issue any challenges, except to referee Herb Dean . In any case, the athlete, who only fought once in 2026, intends to return to action quickly to, perhaps, solidify his place in the top 10 of the prestigious division.

“I just want to relax a bit now, take a vacation with my wife. But I want to fight again here (Abu Dhabi) in October . I'll talk to my manager to find out who will be next,” said the fighter.
