Rumored Valter Walker vs Ryan Spann - UFC Rio - October 11th

I assumed they'd give Valter a big step up and see if the HW heel hook king could keep it going vs a top 10 guy.

Kind of a letdown. Valter is hilarious too, they need to see if they can make him a star.
 
Solid match up -- I think I like Spann as Walker may be too single dimensional to deal with Spann's stand up.
 
For the people asking about top 10....


“I know the top 10 guys are on a whole other level,” Walker said. “Like I said before, I don’t want to be there now. I don’t. I’m saying this over and over again, I don’t want to be ranked now. I’m not ready. If I can hold on for a year and a half, two years, cool, then I can be on the ranking. If I go to the rankings now, I’ll be upset. That would be against my will.”

 
Junior is always fun to watch. He will bring chaos plus the atmosphere is gonna be ridiculous

MMA fighters are evolving self awareness
 
I hope this isn't legit, feels like Walker should be getting a bigger fight but I am reserved on him at the moment - Spann is no better than Nzechukwu, I wanna see a bigger test.
 
Walter is quite shite. Spann can win this as long as he doesn't get carried away by emotion and desperation.
 
Really hope Spann gets a violent KO in this one. I've always been a fan of this dude.
When he wins, he looks amazing and I'm always one the bandwagon, then every loss he looks so terrible and I just ignore him. I'm always back and forth with Spann. At this point I hope Valter wins so HW has new blood. Well Spann is new, but I guess he's been inconsistent in his career.
