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.”
