UFC heavyweight prospect Valter Walker is already back in the gym training – despite recently suffering a broken leg.
When talking about intriguing prospects in the UFC, especially in the heavyweight division, it’s impossible to look past Valter Walker. He has defeated four consecutive fighters with heel hook victories, with his most recent victory coming against Louie Sutherland.
Unfortunately, a broken leg has put a halt to his meteoric rise for the time being, at a time when the heavyweight division is in desperate need of new faces. Of course, you’d have to imagine that Valter will be a big name contender upon his return, at least since there aren’t many of them at heavyweight right now.

As you can see, Walker is wasting no time despite his recent leg break. He has always come across as the kind of heavyweight fighter who is willing to fight through just about anything, but many fans will be hoping he doesn’t do anything to hinder his progress as he looks to overcome a title challenge upon his return.
While four heel hooks in a row is certainly impressive, fans and pundits alike will no doubt be intrigued to see how he handles pressure and adversity when faced with it. Given what he has produced thus far, he should be viewed as someone who can rise through the ranks quite quickly as long as he can stay healthy.
Either way, it’s one to keep an eye on, and that’s an understatement.
