At 48 years old, Herschel Walker is still looking for ways to challenge himself. On January 29, he’ll be back in the cage for the first time in one year, facing Scott Carson at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg.

Walker doesn’t have any grand plans on fighting beyond that match, choosing to see how his learning progresses, but surprisingly, he may have his eye on another sporting venture. The former football superstar has designs on a possible NFL comeback.

“I know I can play,” Walker said on a Monday conference call. “If I continue to stay in the shape I’m in now, I know I can play when I’m 50. Right now, if you asked if I can play today, there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind I can play football today, that I can help out a team today.”

Ask most fighters about their plans or strategies for an upcoming fight and you’ll usually get a vague response or no response at all, but don’t count Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza among that group.

When Souza was asked this week about his planned method of attack against upcoming challenger Robbie Lawler, he had no qualms about tipping his hand.

“The plan is to use my jiu-jitsu to bring to the fight,” he said through an interpreter. “I don’t know how or when I’ll bring it to the game but I’m well-prepared, my cardio’s up and I’m ready to go there and show that I’m 100 percent ready to go in and fight. But the plan is when I see the right time, bring jiu-jitsu to the table and use it.”
