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.”

Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza used a Brazilian jiu jitsu clinic in the second and third rounds of his title fight with Robbie Lawler Saturday night at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg, dominating the positional game in the second round and forcing Lawler to tap to a rear-naked choke in the third.

The victory was the most impressive of Jacare’s MMA career, a fight in which he came back from getting badly hurt in the first round to completely control the second and third.

“My English is so bad — I’m so sorry everybody,” the Brazilian Jacare told the crowd, before adding, “I came prepared for everything.”

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.
