Herschel Walker Becomes MMA Fighter

Herschel Walker was the man, and he still wants to prove it.

According to the fight promotion company Strikeforce, Walker has signed a multi-fight contract. The 47-year-old former NFL star is a fifth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and has trained in the combat disciplines of Muay Thai and Kenpo. Walker is due to start a 12-week intense training regiment next month in San Jose California.

Walker said in a statement, “I want to prove to people who sit on a couch and don’t do anything but criticize other people that, if you’re a true athlete or martial artist, you’re not old until you can’t get up and walk aound anymore. I will go in there and test myself against any 20-year-old”.

From The Apprentice to beating the crap out of one another. We’ll have to see how this goes…
