I kind of forgot about it until I saw it on ATDHE.net....wow the guy is like 48 yrs old and just beat the living hell out of a guy at least 10-15 years younger than him in the first round...rumble old man rumble! Here's the link in case you're interested. http://www.justin.tv//prtvz#r=lTQ4Gw4
The guy he fought, Greg Nagy, was 26 years old, 21 years younger than Walker. But he was a horrible fighter. Just piss poor. The fight was basically a fix because they put Walker in with a guy who had nothing to offer. Still, well done Herschel Walker. Looks like he's serious about MMA. Showed some things. His training has gone well.
Herschel Walker is a physical specimen. If there was ever anyone who lived by the "body is my temple" mantra, it's that guy. I would give my left nut to be in that kind of shape at 48. Dude could seriously pass for 28. Pretty cool story IMO, hope he keeps kickin ass.
That fight was embarrassing and horrible. I honestly think Cyborg Santos could beat Walker. He had no business being on the main card, probably not even in Strikeforce at all.
Good article about it that I read recently: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports..._and_ballet__Herschel_Walker_tackles_MMA.html Walker sounds like an amazing athlete. I mean, I remember his exploits in the NFL...but to still be in such great shape at 47-48. Stunning.
I respect him after seeing some of this fight. So often you see celebrity obsessed buffoons that treat challenges like this as a publicity stunt. He clearly has studied and seems to be taking it very seriously. Good for him.
