No, really, the dude can fight.

How many guys start in the USFL, go to the NFL to Olympic bobsledding to MMA?

NEW YORK (AP) -- Herschel Walker is starting a new career in mixed martial arts.

The 47-year-old former NFL running back said Monday that he has signed a multi-fight contract with promoter Strikeforce. Walker will begin a 12-week training camp next month in San Jose, Calif.

The 1982 Heisman Trophy winner already holds a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I think its awesome that Herschel is gonna fight at that age, but its pretty sad when an upcoming MMA league signs a 47 year old former football great. Just one more thing u dont see in boxing, U never see Keyshawn Johnson fightin on the undercard of a Mosley fight...... What a joke, I wonder what Fedor thinks about Strikeforce now (idiot)

I also heard Ricardo Mayorga is getting into MMA too! drunken
