Give me a fucking break man. Yes, it's THE Herschel Walker. No idea what this guy is thinking. I know he's a tough bastard, but he's out to get himself killed.

HERSCHEL NEEDS TO FIGHT KIMBO IN A SCRAPYARD OR HE'S A FLAMING FAGGOT.

fuck that pussy... look at this other famous athlete that is joining the MMA ranks. [img]

MARIUS PUDZIANOWSKI. World's strongest man.

this guy used to box for a bunch of years and does take a form of martial arts... so he knows how to strike. he is very agile and flexible. fucking guy can do a split. a 305 pound man that can do a fucking split. what the fuck. good luck to whoever is on the receiving end of one of his punches.

Strikeforce actually has the most thorough stats I've ever seen for MMA and even Boxing. I never took MMA serious but after considering how Strikeforce analyzes, dissects and makes a science out this shit, I'm hooked.

Walker is 47. A 47 year old soon to be dead man.

he is a tough dude, but you can not start a mma career at 47.

I've been making Herschel Walker jokes inexplicably for the last month or so.

Clearly I'm precognizant.

Football players gone MMA fighters bring the lolz. Just look at Matt Mitrione.

Plus, this guys first fight will be at 47? Dude, Randy Couture is 47, only difference is he's been doing it for 10 years.

And I thought UFC was starting to become a joke. Now I feel like MMA is becoming a joke.

Walker has already fought a couple of times. I take back what I said. He's not going to be the next heavyweight contender, but he's doing well enough. Kudos.

As much as I love football, and as much as I'm behind Walker here... you're a long ways from wrong. MMA is probably the closest sport to football in terms of physicality, but it seems like it opened the door for gifted athletes who half assed football, and are fully prepared to half ass MMA. Marcus Jones (aka Big Baby of the Ultimate Fighter) was a crazy good athlete, but watching him strike was a fucking comedy act. Mitrione, anybody who watched that idiot's attitude towards training knows exactly why he failed in the NFL. I think maybe Brock Lesnar was the exception to prove the rule only because he was so goddamn big it was impossible for him not to succeed at something.

Walker, as I've read, was into martial arts before football and his technique definitely shows an attention to the aesthetics of the sport not just the classic heavyweight "imma punch him in the face" mentality that makes the 220+ division suck.

The only other exception I suppose is Carwin, but he didn't even really play football, he only tried out for the Eagles once.

Like I said though, after watching that clip of Walker's debut, I've eaten my own words. I still think Mitrione sucks though. He's one of those guys that'll probably never make it past free spike cards and prelims.
