The Brazilian heavyweight made history Saturday at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, submitting promotional debutant Louie Sutherland with a first-round heel hook to extend his unprecedented streak to four consecutive victories via the devastating submission.
Whatever happens during the rest of Valter Walker's UFC career, his place in the promotion's record books already looks to be locked up. "The Clean Monster" returned this weekend as part of a stacked UFC 321 card in Abu Dhabi.
The troubles continue to mount for UFC Perth as the promotion announced late Friday that heavyweight Justin Tafa has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Louie Sutherland due to illness.
The UFC’s return to Perth was meant to be another showcase for Australian fight fans. Instead, it’s been a week of setbacks, withdrawals, and empty seats.
The heavyweight division is always good for chaos, and Saturday’s UFC Fight Night clash between Justin Tafa and newcomer Louie Sutherland is a prime example.
