The UFC heavyweight escalates his feud with Alex Pereira by targeting his luxury lifestyle and upcoming fight.
Alex Pereira is set to face Russian powerhouse Sergei Pavlovich in a five-round heavyweight co-main event at UFC 335 in December.
Speaking about the matchup, Valter Walker predicted that Pavlovich, who is riding a three-fight winning streak, would run through Pereira. ‘Poatan’ responded by challenging Walker to a sparring session, and Walker has now fired back.
Valter Walker Fires Back at Alex Pereira
Alex Pereira issued the sparring challenge publicly and also offered his entire UFC 335 purse if Walker could beat him.
The former middleweight and light heavyweight champion brought money into the conversation, which didn’t sit well with many fans and Walker.
“Everything for him is buying luxury cars. Did you see that last luxury car he bought that he doesn’t even fit in? To me, anyone who buys a luxury car they don’t fit in has a small d*ck. He has 10cm at most.” Walker said in an interview with Sexto Round MMA.
“How did I disrespect him? I just have my opinion. The Russian is going to knock out Poatan in the first round,” Walker said while defending his earlier statement.
Walker stuck to his prediction and even offered to fight Pereira after his UFC 335 bout. “He has a very bruised ego. He’s gonna get KO’d in the first round, then I’ll fight him, take his foot. Brother, you can expect Poatan back at the tire shop. Unfortunately, that is the future waiting for him,” Walker said.
More on Pereira vs. Pavlovich
Alex Pereira is now aiming to capture a third UFC title at heavyweight after previously becoming champion at middleweight and light heavyweight.
However, he suffered a defeat to Ciryl Gane in his heavyweight debut, losing the interim title in the process. Despite the setback, Pereira has decided to stay in the division and will face one of its most feared contenders next in Sergei Pavlovich.
Since making his UFC debut, the Brazilian has established himself as one of the promotion’s biggest names, winning several high-profile fights. However, it remains to be seen whether he can thrive in the heavyweight division.
