Valter Walker, the younger sibling of Johnny Walker, achieved his first UFC win in Perth, Australia by making Junior Tafa submit with a heel hook in the initial round. The outcome stirred some controversy since Tafa didn’t tap out; instead, his cries of agony prompted the referee to halt the bout.
During the press conference following the fight, Valter expressed his interest in facing Junior Tafa’s older brother, Justin Tafa, in his next bout. He confidently proclaimed his readiness to confront Justin, even if it meant short notice, dismissing any concerns about Justin’s weight.
Valter also indicated his willingness to injure Tafa’s foot if the referee hadn’t intervened. He was visibly angered by Tafa’s slap post-fight and sought a showdown with Justin to test his valor.
With this victory, Valter’s record now stands at 12-1, setting the stage for a potential duel between him and Justin Tafa in the near future. Given Justin’s recent loss in March, the matchup could materialize promptly for fans to anticipate.
