Valter Walker’s Rapid Heel Hook Triumph at UFC Vegas 102

Brazilian heavyweight prospect Valter Walker demonstrated his submission prowess once again at UFC Vegas 102. The 27-year-old grappler secured a swift victory over Don’Tale Mayes in a preliminary bout, showcasing his signature move.

As soon as the fight began, Walker wasted no time in taking control. He immediately shot for a double-leg takedown, successfully grounding Mayes. From the dominant top position, Walker swiftly transitioned to his specialty – the heel hook. Despite Mayes’ attempts to defend, he was forced to submit just 77 seconds into the first round.

This marks Walker’s second consecutive win in the UFC, both achieved via heel hook submission. His previous victory came against Junior Tafa at UFC 305 in August, employing the same technique. With this impressive performance, Walker is likely to break into the UFC heavyweight rankings. Following his win, the rising Brazilian star expressed his desire for more frequent fights in the coming year.
