Johnny Walker made a resounding statement in his heavyweight debut on Saturday at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, finishing Mick Parkin in the first round with a devastating knee from the clinch. The highlight-reel stoppage earned Johnny (23-10) a post-fight bonus and officially placed him alongside his brother, Valter Walker, in the UFC's heavyweight division.
However, Valter’s reaction during a live watch-along from his residence in Russia quickly became a talking point on social media. Despite the emphatic victory, Valter (16-1) showed virtually no emotion on stream, leading fans and observers online to question why he seemed so subdued following his brother's major triumph.
Valter has since cleared up the situation, as reported by Sherdog. The Brazilian fighter explained that he was completely drained at the time of the bout because it was 1 a.m. in Russia. Staying true to his character, Valter—who has submitted his last five opponents and is well-known for crude humor and explicit jokes among friends and teammates—also added a sexually explicit reason for his exhaustion.
