Valter Walker criticizes Sharabutdin Magomedov for hair pulling during training

Valter Walker has publicly addressed issues regarding Sharabutdin Magomedov's conduct during training sessions. After witnessing Magomedov's repeated fouls in his fight against Michel Pereira, Walker claimed that Magomedov often pulled hair and delivered illegal knees while training. Walker, who shared the mats with Magomedov, mentioned that he started shaving his head to avoid these tactics. His comments were made during an interview on the Brazilian channel Sexto Round, where he humorously suggested that Magomedov's actions stem from a psychological issue. This criticism follows Magomedov's history of fouling, including an eye poke during his latest bout, raising questions about sportsmanship in training environments.
