Herschel Walker Begins MMA Career: Herschel Walker, the former Heisman Trophy winner, Dallas Cowboy, Olympic bobsledder, Tae Kwan Do black belt, ballet dancer and dissociative identity disorder sufferer, has signed a multi-fight, mixed martial arts contract with promoter Strikeforce.
I haven't see him fight so can't comment on his skill or lack of. However, as an UGA fan, I'm glad to see Herschel doing something and something athletic is even better. If he can make a long career out of it, I'd be surprised though considering his age.

First Celebrity Apprentice, now MMA. Perhaps he's having financial troubles...?

That Tae Kwon Dog is some rough shit, yo.

This will end well.

well he's a 6th degree blackbelt...it's not as bad as say, Jose Canseco, getting out there. He should at least be able to protect himself.

While he may fare better than Canseco, at 47 years of age, I think he's in for a rough time.
Maybe Strikeforce is planning on trading him to some MMA league in Minnesota for a shit load of really good players and some draft choices. (must let it go...we have Favre now, all is good)

Erm... Wow. That's... More stunt casting from Strikeforce I guess.
