Alex Pereira offers Valter Walker his last fight purse for a
\nfoot submission during proposed Las Vegas sparring session<\/h2>\n

Speaking to Laerte Viana, Pereira challenged Walker to spar in Las
\nVegas and offered to pay him the equivalent of his most recent
\nfight purse if Walker submitted him with a foot attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invited him to train with me and he ran off,\u201d Pereira said. \u201cI
\nheard he was scared. He said he wasn’t a punching bag. He got
\nscared, and now he wants to hype up something he knows isn’t going
\nto happen. I\u2019m not kidding. Whenever he wants. Let\u2019s go to Las
\nVegas\u2014I\u2019ll fly him in from Russia, put him in first class. We\u2019ll
\nspar. If he beats me, if he catches my foot, I\u2019ll pay him the
\namount of his last fight purse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDec. 12 in Las Vegas. Walker, meanwhile, has won his last five
\nbouts by leg-lock submission.<\/p>\n
