Valter Walker issued a public apology to his brother, Johnny, after Johnny’s recent comments on The Ariel Helwani Show.
UFC heavyweights Valter and Johnny Walker are two of the most intriguing contenders in the resurging division. Johnny has won back-to-back fights at heavyweight, including a win over Waldo Cortes-Acosta last weekend in the UFC Vegas 124 main event.
Johnny’s UFC Vegas 124 corner included a notable absence; his younger brother Valter, for his victory. Johnny went on to explain in a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show that things between him and his brother, Valter, are strained due to controversial remarks he made about his wife and mother.
After Johnny’s comments went viral, Valter felt compelled to respond to his brother and formally apologize for their recent strains.
Valter Walker claims he tried to ‘motivate’ brother Johnny with vulgar attacks
In a recent video posted to his Instagram, Valter responded to Johnny’s emotional comments about their relationship.
“It’s true, but I always try to motivate my brother,” Valter said.
“And that worked. He won the fight in China. I motivated him. I know him; he’s my brother. I know my own blood. I wanted to motivate him to win the fight, tell him bad things about his wife. If this offended his wife, I want to say sorry to his wife…I didn’t say this like that…
“Just to make things clear: I’m sorry, my brother, if I offended you. Let’s f*cking go. Walker forever.”
Valter is on a five-fight winning streak, including four consecutive victories by heel-hook submission. He’s knocking on the door of the heavyweight Top 15, and as of this writing, his next fight hasn’t been announced.
In the meantime, Johnny picked up arguably the biggest win of his career last weekend and is in the title mix.
