UFC Heavyweight Valter Walker continues to collect heels.
Johnny and Valter Walker are two of the most exciting hunters on the UFC schedule. From high-flying knockouts to slick entries, the Walker brothers are one of the most accomplished brother or sister in MMA.
Valter and Kennedy Nzechukwu helped to kick things on Saturday at the UFC Nashville Prelims in an intriguing heavyweight matchup. At a time when the heavyweight division desperately needs fresh contenders, one of them settled apart as they climbed to the top 15.

Valter Walker understands the heel of Kennedy Nzechukwu for the third consecutive heel hook finish
Walker wasted little time on Nzechukwu in the first seconds of the fight. The talented grappler stormed forward, stunning Nzechukwu with a flurry of bumps that forced his opponent against the cage from the start.
While Walker initiated a conflict, he went beautifully into an attempt at a heel hook that screamed Nzechukwu in pain. Walker achieved the entry victory in just 54 seconds, the fastest victory of his young MMA career.

Walker is notorious because he catches his opponents in heel hooks, as he has demonstrated in recent victories over Don'Tale Mayes, Junior Tafa and Nzechukwu. Walker helped a fan to earn more than $ 25,000 by betting on the talented Brazilian to earn the incredibly rare entry.
After a unanimous loss of decision for Lukasz Brzeski in his UFC debut last year, Walker won three straight fights by the first round of the whole hook and himself in the UFC record books etching. His style is very different from his brother, a knock -out artist, while he continues to climb the heavyweight division.
A top perspective started UFC Nashville with a bang
About an hour before Walker's victory, UFC Strawweight Fatima Kline started the promotion with a third round Knockout to extend its win-streak. Melissa Martinez spent the talented prospect with a few minutes in the fight to anesthetize the UFC Nashville audience.
Walker sent a big message to the rest of the UFC Heavyweight Division with his performance on Saturday. He is a matchup nightmare for the rest of the heavyweights with his annoying wrestling and progressive offensive arsenal.
Lightweight Mike Davis played Mitch Ramirez with a knee and punches to return to the win column at UFC Nashville. The card started with three consecutive stops.
