They sure are trying hard to rebuild the former circus known as EliteXC

illmatick · 09-21-09, 11:53 PM

yeah makes the organization look real bad. god forbid they bring jose canseco in as well

Does he even have any MMA experience? If not he will get pounded. Just because your strong, doesn't make you a fighter.

he's gotta be broke

jjgold · 09-22-09, 05:09 AM

He is broke and a pussy

IN Foots during his pro career he was afraid of contact

Herschell was a stand up guy in The Apprentice.

Since hearing about this it reminded me of an article I read in Sports Illustrated about him in the early 80's. I've always remembered the title of the article which was his quote: "My body's like an Army."
Found it online in the SI Vault. I remember being impressed and inspired by his discipline and work ethic. He was not only a great running back but a world class sprinter. It's really worth reading: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...82/1/index.htm
I know that getting hit in the face is a whole other can of worms, and I don't expect much from him in the sport, but he has always taken care of his body and even at 47 I'm sure he's still a physical specimen.

He's been training in martial arts...not to mention he's in the Bo Jackson mold of being a super-athlete. I feel like this is one last grab for attention, but the guy is still a monster.

He can get in line to knock out Arlovski next

I'd like to see him fight Cyborg Santos for his first fight

mmike032 · 10-04-09, 07:39 PM

He's trained in martial arts since high school or college I read somewhere.
He also has admitted in his autobiography that he has developed multiple personality disorder.
I agree this is his last grab at publicity and a pay day. If he doesnt do well it wont be from lack of hard work I can guarentee that.

these guys don't understand there is a big difference between your athletic ability and your ability to take a punch in the face, just ask too tall jones, for you young guys , he was a dallas cowboys lineman, six nine ,back in the seventies. He decided to try boxing and got knocked out by a guy about six one and 200 , the fight game is a tough game

Great point, Fight game is a very tough game.
