\nWalker predicts his brother, Johnny
\nWalker, will win
\nUltimate Fighting Championship heavyweight gold in 2027.<\/p>\n
Johnny took on Waldo
\nCortes-Acosta on short notice in the main event of
\nUFC Vegas 124 on Saturday at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The former
\nlight heavyweight contender weathered the storm in the early rounds
\nbefore knocking Cortes-Acosta out in the third frame.<\/p>\n
\nValter, a ranked UFC heavyweight himself, says he has been calling
\nfor his brother to move up to heavyweight for a long time. He
\npredicts Johnny will win and defend the UFC heavyweight title next
\nyear. Valter also credits Johnny for making him a fighter.<\/p>\n
Valter took to social media to share a screenshot of a relative\u2019s
\nbet on Johnny, which turned $5,000 into $13,750.<\/p>\n
\u201cI say it and I’ll say it again. My brother is going to be champion
\nnext year and will defend the title against anyone,\u201d Valter wrote
\non X. \u201cMy brother, the guy who made me a fighter, is f*cking
\nawesome!!! (I told you he needed to move up to heavyweight a long
\ntime ago) My wife’s cousin put some money on.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a rough stretch at light heavyweight, Johnny (24-10, 1 NC)
\nmoved up to heavyweight earlier this year, knocking out Mick Parkin
\nin the first round of his heavyweight debut in October. Notably,
\nafter beating Cortes-Acosta, Johnny clarified that he will never
\nfight his brother Valter (16-1).<\/p>\n
