Meet Johnny Walker’s Brother Valter Walker – Age, Height, Record, Ethnicity, & More

The noted UFC light hevyweight, Johnny Walker, is currently one of the strongest contenders for the divisional title. It’s quite apparent that he will look to rise in the pioneer MMA promotion’s ranks. It will get him a lot closer to his target of UFC light heavyweight gold. We all know about the bond between the Diaz brothers and the Shevchenko sisters. But do you know that the Brazilian UFC star also has a sibling who is a fighter?

We are talking about the UFC light heavyweight fighter’s half brother Valter Walker. Walker very recently made a debut with the UFC, but the fight did go as he might have wished. Here is everything we know about Johnny Walker’s brother.

Valter Walker, Johnny Walker’s brother signs with UFC

Although Valter and Johnny aren’t siblings like Nick and Nate Diaz. It can’t be said that the bond between them is weaker than that between the Diaz brothers. Johnny often shares good wishes prior to his brother’s fights via his Instagram account. But Valter would’ve already made his UFC debut by now if things went as planned. The UFC had their eyes on him for a long time and also signed him sometime in June last year.

Until mid-July, announcements also started coming out about Valter’s debut. ‘MMA Junkie’ reported that the UFC authorities scheduled his debut for a UFC Fight Night event in the month of September against Jake Collier. But these plans fell flat shortly afterwards. However, the authorities never revealed any clear reason for removing Valter from the bout. They replaced him with the noted former UFC welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman’s brother, Mohammed Usman.

Eventually, he faced fellow UFC fighter Łukasz Brzeski at a UFC Fight Night event in April 2024. However, Walker lost the fight via a unanimous decision.

Valter Walker’s Age, Height, Reach, and Gym

Well, the stats of Valter Walker, also known as ‘The Clean Monster’, may cause a lot of fans to think that the UFC wanted to feature his debut on a PPV card. This was probably the reason behind the UFC authorities taking him out of his scheduled debut in a September-based UFC Fight Night event. But the two brothers, Johnny and Valter, don’t represent the same country while fighting.

The 25-year-old trains out of ‘Gor MMA’ situated in Moscow, Russia. Hence, it’s no wonder that Valter chooses to represent the country of Russia during his fights. ‘The Clean Monster’ stands at a massive 6’6″ (1.99 m) tall and usually fights in the heavyweight division. However, none of the sources could detail his reach.

Valter Walker’s MMA record and undefeated streak

Valter had been dominating his opponents since the very first time he entered a professional MMA cage. The 25-year-old stepped into the MMA cage for the first time on October 4, 2020. He also earned a superb KO victory over his opponent in the very first stanza. But pretty few fans would have thought that he would keep winning for the next three years without even a single defeat.

Valter hadn’t lost any of his 11 professional MMA fights to date in his career, until he made his UFC debut. Now, he holds a record of 11 wins and 1 loss. Most fans might label him a KO artist, as he has achieved six of his eleven victories by KO or TKO.

A shocking back and forth between brothers Johnny Walker and Valter Walker

Prior to Valter’s fight against Ramadan Mohamed on March 18, this year, he started taking Instagram jibes at his older half-brother Johnny. Although most fans realized that the two were goofing around, their jibes at each other didn’t look like that. The incident also caused massive headlines in the MMA community.

However, the younger Walker shocked fans when Johnny showed up for his fight in Egypt on March 18. The 25-year-old earned a comfortable victory in the bout against Mohamed. But Valter chose to take down Johnny, who also joined him inside the cage during the official result declaration of the fight.

‘The Clean Monster’s’ teammates attempted to separate them as well. But the smiles from both the Walker brothers got caught on camera. They made the fans realize that this was also a session of the two brothers goofing around, although this time it was in the real world and inside an MMA cage.

But Valter will have to leave all of this aside and focus on his game for his next bout, which is also going to be his UFC debut. After all, his rival, Magomed Ankalaev, has also been in UFC light heavyweight title fights. Do you think Johnny Walker’s half-brother will maintain his undefeated streak even after his debut at UFC 294?
