Valter Walker Explains How Move to Russia Changed Fighting Career

Valter Walker credits his coach, Gor Azizyan, for everything he has today.

Walker took on Louie Sutherland at UFC 321 on Saturday at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. “The Foot Hunter” lived up to his moniker by scoring his fourth straight submission via heel hook, earning his second consecutive “Performance of the Night” bonus in the process.

While Walker is from Brazil, he didn’t develop his elite ground game in his home country. Walker credits his current gym, Gor MMA in Russia, for everything he has learned.
