The opinions on 47-year-old former pro footballer Herschel Walker’s recent MMA debut range from “amazing” to “disgraceful.”
Count Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker among those who believe the Heisman
Trophy winner was a good thing for the California-based promotion –
even if he was admittedly unsure at first.
“I think the networks, at first, were apprehensive about Herschel, and
so was I, honestly,” Coker recently told MMAjunkie.com. “I was very apprehensive, but getting to know
Herschel, and seeing his commitment to training at AKA and just who
he is as a person and a martial artist, it was an honor to have him
come fight for us.”

As far as wins go, Krzysztof Soszynski’s UFC 110 victory over Stephan
Bonnar certainly won’t go down as one of “The Polish Experiment’s” most
memorable.
A third-round clash of heads that went unseen by the match referee left Soszynski a
TKO winner, and an appeal to the overseeing commission by Bonnar went
unheeded.
Today, Soszynski told MMAjunkie.com that the
unfortunate finish shouldn’t take away from the performance he turned
in that February night in Australia, and he doesn’t expect a rematch would go any differently should the two tangle again.
