"Just two weeks ago, Valter Walker's chance to fight at home as part of UFC Rio was dashed when Mohammed Usman pulled out of their fight two days prior to the event. As luck would have it, the UFC was able to get him on UFC 321, pairing him up with English heavyweight newcomer Louie Sutherland. Valker came into the fight with an unheard of three straight heel hook submission wins, while Sutherland had won four straight, all for Levels Fight League."
"Round one started, and Valter Walker was aggressive, coming out with several kicks. Sutherland landed a big overhand right, but Walker timed it well and got the takedown. Everyone knew it was coming, and it came. Walker postured up, then dropped and rolled for the ankle. He got the position and finished with the outside heel hook, and Sutherland tried to roll with it, before long he had tapped."
Valter Walker secured his fourth consecutive heel hook submission with a first-round outside heel hook finish of English heavyweight Louie Sutherland at UFC 321. Walker entered the bout having already recorded three straight heel-hook wins; Sutherland arrived on a four-fight winning streak from Levels Fight League. After trading strikes early, Walker took Sutherland down, postured, dropped, and rolled to attack the ankle, locking the outside heel hook. Sutherland attempted to escape by rolling but tapped within the opening 90 seconds. The victory reinforces Walker's specialization in leg-lock submissions and boosts his momentum on the UFC stage.
