Herschel Walker's MMA Debut Set for Jan. 30th...

I am very curious to see who they have him fight. What is everyone's thoughts on this??? He holds a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do but I don't really see him going anywhere. But I am excited to see him fight :D

On a side note, I am currently working with Judy on making a mma sub-forum at the bottom of this site so everyone who enjoys mma, boxing, working out etc can talk about it there. This post can be moved when the forum is up and running. I have a ton of stuff to talk about pertaining to these things I just never wanted to clutter up the off-topic all my thoughts and opnions on these subjects. Now I will have my/our own special spot on these subjects to ramble on about everything. Hopefully a lot of you will join me there to chat!!! Be on the look out for it in the next couple weeks. Special thanks to Judy for helping me with it :gj:

Wow this is the first I've heard of it, apparently he'll be in strikeforce. I wish him the best of luck but I don't see it going far. He's around 50 isn't he? The NFL isn't exactly easy on a body. But you never know hell he may be great

A seperate forum would be great, we wouldn't have to dig for that official mma thread everytime something happens lol Thanks for gettin that together yall

Just because a guy isn't necessarily mma champion material doesn't mean he shouldn't compete, I hope they find a good matchup for him!

He is fighting with strikeforce and I am not sure on his age-lol. There will probably only be a few of us that talk in my sub-forum a lot but at least we can talk away in there about what ever :D

I agree. And he was a very good athlete. He was born in '62

he's 47. after he signed with strikeforce he just disapeared. no one could get in touch with him. he wasnt training at the gym he was supposed to be at. he just kinda went into hiding. no one could even find him to ASK for an interview. im glad to hear some news on this topic. anyone know what wieght class?

i really hope they do a forum for MMA. im also tired of digging for the MMA thread and allot of MMA fans/ BP.net members im sure have no clue it exists.:gj::gj::gj::gj::gj::gj::gj::gj::gj:

anybody wanna post picks for saturdays fights?

BJ penn, Cheick Kongo, Clay Guida

Then the others I am really not sure....

The Ultimate Fighter Uk vs USA fighter DaMarques Johnson will be fighting so we will see if he really has it outside of the house....

What did yall think of The Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights Final turned out?

I might actually watch this. Hershall Walker was one of my football heroes growing up.

I never really consider age in a fight. It's about physical condition and skill. I know a couple 70+ year olds that sent me to floor when I tried to spar with them. And even people that don't look like they could fight certainly can. The Master of the Kung Fu school I went too had a beer belly but could move like lightning.
