Herschel Walker at 47 yrs old to fight MMA tonight.

[toysrus]

I agree he's in top physical shape at 47. But this MMA for Walker could be risky.

Tonight we shall see. I wish him luck.

If he had a pro wrestler background , maybe. But a 47 yr. old ex-football player should not be in a mma fight. just my opinion

[kingdom warrior]

I will be surprised if he's not knocked out......

[txteach]

They gave him a weak opponent. He'll win and unfortunately think he can do it again.

[Nostalgiabuff]

will be interesting to see no matter what. I am still waiting for the first fight for Tommy David Frank or whatever the hell his name is from the power rangers. He is an MMA fighter now too from what I understand.

[fallensaviour]

Hey maybe he should fight Van Damme...LOL
You know cause he wants to fight and he's 49...

[MegoMark71]

he should win

He was on Howard Stern talking about this fight a few weeks ago and still trains daily…something else I found interesting is he has a chicken business with over 500 employees. I am not sure of the companies name but he is supposed to be one of the biggest distributors in the field!

It was a decent fight for Walker; Nagy couldn't get anything going. Walker was in better shape, always took a dominant position, and pounded on Nagy's head for much of the fight. Nagy would try to manuver Walker into a submission hold, which Walker would escape. Both guys looked inexperienced, which they were. I will give Walker credit, though, for escaping Nagy's submissions. That said, I hope he finds another sport to pursue. I don't want to see him fight another Nagy, but I also don't want to see him get hurt by someone good.
