Former NFL star Herschel Walker stopped Hungarian fighter Greg Nagy in the third round Saturday night to win his mixed-martial arts debut. (Jan. 31) Walker was always known for his conditioning in the NFL. There were always the stories about him doing thousands of push-- ups and sit-ups every day. And then the stories about him doing ballett to increase his athleticism in the NFL as well.@tnt20uga Agreed. Additionally, I would bet that he is probably doing all kinds of elite variations on those exercises and that he probably, by now, knows how to generate incredible amounts of dynamic tension and isometric power in his body and limbs as he does them, such that a Wlker pull up is different than the average pull up. Amazing man and legendary athlete.
Herschel Walker (Photo courtesy of ajc.com. Tie courtesy of Elton John.) Heisman Trophy winner, two-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, Olympic bobsledder, Heisman Trophy winner, two-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, Olympic bobsledder, Dissociative Identity Disorder sufferer, Celebrity Apprentice contestant, Tae Kwon Do black belt, and American Kickboxing Academy student Herschel Walker will make his MMA debut on January 30th at a Strikeforce event to be held at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. The news was announced yesterday via press release, though Walker's opponent has yet to be named. The only other match tied to the card at this point is Cristiane "Cris Cyborg" Santos's 145-pound title defense against Marloes Coenen. As Dana White pondered when Walker's Strikeforce signing was first announced: "Which athletic commission is going to let this guy fight? Who the fuck are they going to find to fight Herschel Walker? A guy in a wheelchair?” We now know the answer to the first question is "Florida," the state that previously signed off on Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock at the same venue last October. As for Dana's other hypotheticals, we hope that Herschel Walker's opponent has some kind of disability, considering that Walker has only been training in MMA since last month, and it wouldn't really be fair to make him fight a guy who has both fighting experience and the use of all of his limbs. I mean, if Strikeforce really wants to put Walker against Fedor Emelianenko in the spring, they'd better give him a beatable first opponent.
Ever since former NFL player and Dissociative Identity Disorder sufferer Herschel Walker announced his intention to become an MMA fighter, the question that still follows him is, why? Why does a guy who’s 47 years old want to start a whole new career in a sport where hungry young bucks will be lining up to make a name for themselves by thumping on his skull? Most of the time in MMA, the answer to this question lies somewhere in the intersection of a desperate financial situation and a longing for attention. But Walker says he’s motivated by neither. He just wants to show everyone that with a lot of hard work, you can do anything. In this case, ‘anything’ includes beating a 1-1 fighter who oddsmakers have pegged as a +250 underdog. Even Greg Nagy’s trainer isn’t so hot on his chances to beat Walker, who is, by all accounts, a very athletic, extremely hard-working gym rat. This raises the question, what will it really prove for Walker to win this fight? Is beating a handpicked opponent everyone expects him to dominate really going to prove that anything is possible?
Walker attended and played college football at the University of Georgia, where he was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1982. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
