a Multi-Fight Deal with Strikeforce...

It has been confirmed by Strikeforce brass that the San Jose-based organization has inked former NCAA and NFL

great Herschel Walker to a multi-fight deal.

Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz confirmed the signing with MMAFanhouse earlier today.

The 47-year-old may have retired from professional football back in 1997, however you would be hard pressed to find a better conditioned athlete anywhere on the planet, regardless of age.

As recently as November 20th of 2006, Walker stated on The Jim Rome Show that he still performs 2,500 sit-ups and 1,500 push ups every morning, and that he’s been partaking in the same routine every morning since high school.

Walker has studied martial artist for quite some time, and is currently a sixth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He stated at last month’s “Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg” event that he would like to try his hand at the pro world of MMA someday, however most took that in jest.

Herschel wouldn’t be the first NFL vet to compete in MMA as four former NFL players were cast for the current 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter. ” Additionally, former wide receiver Michael Westbrook, Johnnie Morton, Rex Richards and Herbert “Whisper” Goodman have competed in organizations across the country.

Although there is no word on when Walker might be making his debut inside a cage, it’s likely that the former Heisman Trophy winner’s first fight won’t be until early 2010.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
