Although I will never deny what a great athlete Herschel Walker was, and still is for his age, nor will I ever deny that he has great character and great heart, and is a very good positive role model.. the guys he has been fighting are cans.
His debut last year was against Greg Nagy, a guy with a record of 1-1 at the time (who is now 1-3) and didn't really know how to fight.
Scott Carson went 4-0 in his first 4 fights... back in 1999-2001. Last year in June, he returned to MMA after 9 years of not competing and was knocked out in 3 minutes. Then he went into the Walker fight. Carson should have never returned and just retired undefeated
. Strikeforce will never give Walker a worthy opponent to truly test his skills. They are using Walker as a "sideshow".. something to draw people in, because people know and like Herschel Walker. Though, I can't say anything about Walker himself.. as I stated before, I really like him as a person and the type of athlete he is.. I believe he donates most of his fight money to charity as well. He's a great competitor who enjoys that competition, but won't be anything more than a sideshow in the MMA world.
Here's the ending of the fight with Scott Carson, btw:
