http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Herschel-Walker-pounds-anonymous-schlub-in-MMA-d?urn=nfl,216661

47 years old and making his debut in MMA? WTF

Good for Walker. he is good at everythin.

Saw this lol

Good shit!

What did you expect? He has years of resentment for being associated with the biggest bust trade in the history of the NFL and wanted to pound the shit out of someone on the national stage in an attempt to redeem himself from disgrace.

His wiki page is a pretty good read.

Walker is also intriguing for being one of the few pro football players to become successful without the use of free weight training. Rather than a heavy weight room regimen, Walker used bodyweight exercise, calisthenics, and conditioning, as well as martial arts training. He remains to this day an oddity in the pro football world. He has been said to do thousands of pushups and situps daily, rather than lift weights[citation needed] For the past twenty years, he claims to sleep four hours a night and only eat one meal a day during the evening, which normally consists of a salad, soup and bread.

He has a fifth-degree black belt in tae kwon do and he nearly made the Olympic team in the sprint relay. He competed in the 1992 Winter Olympics in two-man bobsled, finishing seventh.[18] He ran the 100 meters in 10.22, the 100 yards in 9.3. He also won back-to-back American Superstars competitions in 1987 and 1988. Walker stated in a phone interview on The Jim Rome Show on November 20, 2006 that he still performs 2,500 sit-ups and 1,500 push ups every morning. He has been going through this same routine every morning since high school.

In 1988, while still a player for the Dallas Cowboys, he danced with the Fort Worth Ballet for a single performance.[19]

In his 2008 autobiography Breaking Free, Walker confessed that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as "multiple personality disorder".[20] He claimed that due to his disorder, he cannot remember the season he won the Heisman Trophy, let alone the moment. He also claimed that during an episode, he had held a gun to his own head. He stated he did not ever remember doing this. He is getting help for this disorder, and feels he has recovered by gaining back control.[21]

So he is crazy

No wonder he wailed on the dude

I wonder if he does all the exercises as the same person.

Every time this thread pops up again, I keep thinking it's about good 'ol Herschel drawing a caveman in the middle of the Octagon.

=Z=

I didn't watch the fight but I was told it was an ugly victory and he looked uncoordinated and even the audience was shouting out technique at him. lol

I don't believe in "ugly victories" though so good for Herschel
