Valter
Walker has Rousimar
Palhares-esque plans for Josh
Hokit.

Hokit’s rapid rise to stardom in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship has been fueled by his brazen
trash talk that has fans divided. Walker recently noted that the
American heavyweight had insulted his home country of Brazil ahead
of his
Dana White’s Contender Series fight against Guilherme
Uriel last year.

Walker believes he will eventually cross paths with Hokit inside
the Octagon. Known for his heel hook submissions, the Brazilian is
confident that he will catch “The Incredible Hok” with one.

Furthermore, he claims he doesn’t want to let go even if Hokit
taps. Walker wants to send the American to surgery for a broken
foot. However, he might have to reconsider if doesn’t want to get
banned forever like Palhares, who was notorious for holding on to
leglocks far too long.

Walker told Home of Fight: “This guy is no problem for me. This
guy, Josh Hokit, I can break his leg. But please, when he taps, I
don’t gonna let him go. I’m going to send him to surgery, brother.
If I take his leg and he taps, I don’t gonna let him go. He talked
shit about my country. He talked shit about Brazilian people.
Before, when my leg was broken, he called my name on the
microphone. But step by step, one day, we are gonna meet in the
Octagon. This is all what matters. One day, his foot is gonna be
mine.”

Hokit (10-0) has defeated Curtis
Blaydes and Derrick
Lewis in his last two bouts to make his way into the top tier
of the division. Meanwhile, Walker (15-1) has finished all four of
his UFC wins via heel hooks since suffering his lone professional
loss in his UFC debut in 2024.

Walker is now scheduled to fight Thomas
Petersen (11-4) at
UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25 at Etihad Arena.
