Valter Walker predicts Johnny Walker will become UFC champion
in 2027

Valter, a ranked UFC heavyweight himself, says he has been calling
for his brother to move up to heavyweight for a long time. He
predicts Johnny will win and defend the UFC heavyweight title next
year. Valter also credits Johnny for making him a fighter.

Valter took to social media to share a screenshot of a relative’s
bet on Johnny, which turned $5,000 into $13,750.

“I say it and I’ll say it again. My brother is going to be champion
next year and will defend the title against anyone,” Valter wrote
on X. “My brother, the guy who made me a fighter, is f*cking
awesome!!! (I told you he needed to move up to heavyweight a long
time ago) My wife’s cousin put some money on.”

After a rough stretch at light heavyweight, Johnny (24-10, 1 NC)
moved up to heavyweight earlier this year, knocking out Mick Parkin
in the first round of his heavyweight debut in October. Notably,
after beating Cortes-Acosta, Johnny clarified that he will never
fight his brother Valter (16-1).
