What happened: Johnny Walker dismissed any possibility of facing his brother, Valter Walker, inside the Octagon. Asked about a potential matchup against his sibling, Walker stated he was not crazy enough to fight family. Both brothers compete under contract with the promotion.

Why it matters: The stance closes the door on a potential intra-family matchup as both fighters navigate the heavyweight division. Johnny Walker won his heavyweight debut with a first-round knockout at UFC 332 in October. Keeping their careers separate ensures neither will have to compromise family ties for divisional standing.

What to watch: Walker faces Waldo Cortes-Acosta in the main event of UFC Vegas 124 on Saturday.
