This Saturday (22), Vitor Petrino faces an extremely important fight. At UFC Sacramento , the Brazilian faces Serghei Spivac in the second most important fight of the night, which could change his status in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg). In fact, if he wins, the athlete, undefeated in the category, will be on a collision course with the main names in it, which includes Valter Walker.

And speaking of the bad boy, Petrino made it clear that the relationship between them is far from good. When asked about his opinion of Valter's provocations and threats, 'Cabuloso' retaliated and didn't seem impressed by his streak of five submission victories.
On the contrary, the fighter from Minas Gerais, a striking specialist riding a three-fight winning streak, downplayed his rival's strength and issued a challenge. It's worth noting that the athletes have been constantly and publicly clashing, and that Valter had previously questioned Petrino's skill and threatened to break his foot.
“ Valter Walker talks too much. He says he’s going to get me, but I have confidence in my jiu-jitsu. I want to see if he can handle me in a fight too, right? Because, in reality, we’re not fighting jiu-jitsu, we’re fighting MMA,” he said at the UFC Sacramento media day.
