Walker On Brother's Jokes Hurting Wife And Mother

Johnny Walker says his stepbrother's crude online humor damaged their family ties.

Walker revealed to Ariel Helwani that Valter Walker, his fellow UFC heavyweight, posted multiple offensive remarks about his wife and mother on social media. The two share a father who relocated from Brazil to Russia, where he raised Valter with a different woman.

According to Sherdog, Walker described a pattern of disrespectful posts Valter made following a fight in China. The comments included crude sexual jokes about Walker's wife and family members. While Valter has since stopped, Walker maintains the damage lingers.

"What he did in the past hurts people's hearts," Walker said. The UFC heavyweight detailed several specific examples, including inappropriate remarks about his mother and son, and crude hypothetical scenarios involving his marriage.

Valter responded to the interview on social media, writing: "Love you, Johnny. Thanks for all you do for me, for my life." Walker has knocked out Mick Parkin and Waldo Cortes-Acosta since moving to heavyweight. He ruled out fighting Valter despite both competing in the same division.
