Rousimar Palhares Predicts UFC Title for Valter Walker

Rousimar Palhares thinks Valter Walker is on track to become a UFC champion because of his effective leg lock technique. Walker has successfully submitted five opponents in the first round using leg-based moves.

Walker's run has included four heel hooks and one calf slicer, earning him a nickname in Brazil that references Palhares. Palhares, who has a background in submission wins, finds Walker's success satisfying, especially given his own past with the UFC.

Palhares had a notable UFC career with 16 submission wins before retiring in 2024. Walker is set to face his next challenge at an upcoming UFC event, with Palhares confident that he will become champion due to his unique skillset.
