Walker (1-0) made his MMA debut one year ago, stopping Greg Nagy with strikes in the third round. Carson (4-1) suffered a first-round KO loss last June.

Former football star Herschel Walker improved to 2-0 as a professional mixed martial arts fighter, beating Scott Carson on Saturday night’s Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg fight card.
Walker won a one-sided beatdown against an opponent who didn’t have much to offer. The question now is whether Walker is interested enough in MMA to stick with it and take a chance against an opponent who might actually hit back, which Carson didn’t do.
“I was OK,” Walker said when asked to assess his own performance. “I’ve got to be on offense. Being a young MMA fighter I’ve got to control what I’m doing in the cage.”

Herschel Walker improved to 2-0 as an MMA fighter with a first-round technical knockout victory over Scott Carson on Saturday night at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg. The fight video is above.
Walker, the former NFL star who was a Heisman Trophy-winning running back at Georgia and also dabbled in Olympic bobsledding, made short work of Carson, who could do little more than cover up and try not to get too badly hurt.
Walker indicated after the fight that he hopes to fight for Strikeforce again. At age 48, he’s not ready to quit fighting.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Herschel Walker will never become an MMA champion. But as he showed at the HP Pavilion on Saturday night, he’s no pushover either.
The 48-year-old former NFL running back and Heisman Trophy winner only needed a kick in the face to get his motor started against an unheralded, hand-picked opponent. Then the man who’s been everything from an Olympic bobsledder to a would-be track star rolled right over the unknown Scott Carson (4-2) at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg.
“I’m still a young fighter, still getting better,” Walker said in the post-fight press conference. “Scott is young too, so it ain’t like I did anything special. One thing I want to do is get back into AKA, get back into training, and just see where it goes from there.”

Too bad we’ll never know just how good Herschel Walker could have been. At 48 years old, even the seemingly ageless Walker admits that he doesn’t see much of a lifespan for himself in mixed martial arts. He focuses more on the training than the fighting, leaving his Strikeforce career to his team at the American Kickboxing Academy.
That’s a shame, really, because Walker could have been good. Very good. Sure, it’s hard to tell just where he is right now. Even at 2-0, wins over Scott Carson and Greg Nagy aren’t measuring sticks we can easily read. Beginner vs. beginner fights are understandable, but for the fan, they’re not very helpful in evaluating talent. In Walker’s case though, you can see he has it. For a young fighter — figuratively speaking, of course — he has good instincts, power and poise. And even at his advanced age, his athleticism is still quite obvious.
Walker has critics, of course, but most of them are more focused on why he has a job in the first place, rather than what he is when he steps in the cage. And aren’t we supposed to care more about what happens in the cage?
