"Ranked #10 in the weight class per the UFC's official rankings (Valter Walker himself is at #14), Tybura is 2-2 in his last four bouts and coming off a loss to Ante Delija. The Polish star, a former M-1 heavyweight champ, will hit a decade with the UFC as of April, and has shared the octagon with some of the best, including Fabricio Werdum, Andre Arlovski, Derrick Lewis, Alexander Volkov, and current UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall."
"News of the booking was first reported by MMA Mania. Walker, known as "The Clean Monster," may want to rebrand himself the "Heel Monster." He holds the record for both consecutive heel hook submissions and overall submissions of that type (tied with Rousimar Phalares) in the UFC, which has earned him a step up in competition in the form of Tybura."
Valter Walker (15-1) will meet veteran Marcin Tybura (27-10) at UFC Seattle on March 28, 2026 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Walker has finished his last four UFC fights via heel hook and is tied for the UFC record for consecutive and overall heel hook submissions. Tybura is ranked #10, is 2-2 in his last four fights, and is coming off a loss to Ante Delija. Tybura is a former M-1 heavyweight champion and will mark ten years with the UFC in April, having faced several top heavyweights. The card also includes matchups such as Alexa Grasso vs. Maycee Barber and Casey O'Neill vs. Gabriella Fernandes.
