One of the weirdest matchups in combat sports history is set to go down on February 13.
UFC heavyweight prospect Valter Walker will briefly put a pause on his fledgling MMA career.
Johnny Walker‘s brother has won four consecutive fights by heel hook since being outpointed by Łukasz Brzeski in his April 2024 UFC debut.
Now, the 28-year-old has booked a grappling match that guarantees his epic submission streak will end.

Valter Walker vs Zion Clark confirmed
Valter Walker will face Zion Clark in a Karate Combat grappling match dubbed ‘the most viral in history.’
Clark was born without legs due to caudal regression syndrome, a disorder that impairs the development of the lower half of the body.
Remarkably, it has not stopped him from finding success in wrestling, where he competed at the NCAA Division I level for Kent State University.
In December 2022, Clark used his elite-level grappling skills to dominate an able-bodied opponent, Eugene Murray, over three rounds and pick up a decision win in his MMA debut.
Now, he’ll face Walker, who won’t be able to use his favorite submission to get the job done.
