UFC Abu Dhabi: Valter Walker Wins by Calf Slicer, Extends Leg Lock Streak, Calls Out Herb Dean

At UFC Abu Dhabi, heavyweight Valter Walker secured his fifth consecutive first-round submission victory, this time using a calf slicer instead of his signature heel hook. The win extends his streak of first-round leg lock finishes. After the fight, Walker called out referee Herb Dean, suggesting he should be more cautious in stopping fights. Walker also expressed interest in fighting top-ranked heavyweight Ciryl Gane and stated his intention to renegotiate his UFC contract, saying he is 'not stupid' to fight ranked heavyweights 'for peanuts.' He compared his leg lock prowess to Ronda Rousey's armbars and aims to use it to win UFC gold.
