How would Herschel Walker fare against the Best of UFC?

**Powderguy** · 01-30-11, 04:13 PM

It wouldn't go well

**King Mayan** · 01-30-11, 04:16 PM

Better question is How bad would he do against THE REEM!!!???

**VegasInsider** · 01-30-11, 04:18 PM

Walker vs. Couture or GSP would be interesting to watch. I think it would get ugly for Walker though. No way the fight goes all 3 rounds..

**boltbird** · 01-30-11, 04:20 PM

i agree he is a freek of nature, but wouldnt fare well against the best im afraid

**jjgold** · 01-30-11, 04:46 PM

no good

He is not a fighter and not tough enough

**doublej95** · 01-30-11, 04:48 PM

take 20 years off of Herschel's age given his work ethic he could have been a good fighter in UFC.

Clearly didn't watch last night, or any of his football career.

**freelee** · 01-30-11, 05:21 PM

he'd get run over by almost all the UFC heavyweights

He was too busy throwing left hooks at invisible snowmen

How would Herschel Walker do against a guy who has fought a couple of times in the past decade?

more like 30 years, hes almost 50!

**iQon** · 01-30-11, 05:33 PM

He wouldn't fare at all, because they'd give him a legit fight (and they arguably have the weaker Heavyweight roster of the two, so... yeah).

Strikeforce is intentionally feeding him bums with ulterior motives to benefit their brand, not build him up as a contender. I wouldn't be surprised if they secure another CBS show and he gets another journeyman.

**dherd** · 01-30-11, 05:35 PM

the man is 48 - someone said a freak of nature - correct.

Just think if they had got Tim Sylvia (in his current shape) to take on Walker last night, the hype for Herschel would have been through the roof!

Not a bad fight to schedule by the way, kind of puts Herschel in a no lose situation, where you can easily explain a loss here, and with Sylvia's form a win is not out of the question. People would eat that up. Former UFC champion, blah blah blah

he is 48 take 20 off that would be 28, you don't think a 28 year old could be a good fighter

usually fighters need to get started well before 28 to become elite. Randy Couture is the only exception I know of.

**Chandler** · 01-30-11, 07:57 PM

i'd like to see walker vs tyson

Yea a good fight for hershel. Remember a year or so ago, 90 year old boxer Ray Mercer ko'd Silvia with 1 punch in a smaller mma show. Anybody see that?

**YorkHunt** · 01-30-11, 08:18 PM

He's good for his age!

**Pabinator** · 01-30-11, 08:19 PM

Id like to see him and Randy Couture go at it, although Randy would kick his ass

**playa420** · 01-30-11, 08:30 PM

dudes a great athlete, its a shame he got in the sport so late, he could have been a great fighter if he started younger

**Glitch** · 01-30-11, 08:38 PM

he would whoop randy couture's ass

cain velasquez would end his life.

**Ian** · 01-30-11, 08:54 PM

He's way too old. Strikeforce will sacrifice him to somebody younger that they can make money with in the future.

Not sure if serious...

**clarkd32** · 01-30-11, 09:37 PM

did i read correctly that the guy walker fought last night had only 1 fight the last 10 years?

if walker were to fight you could possibly see another Johnny Morton incident.

walker could have been good if he started 15-20 years ago...

**urge2kill** · 01-30-11, 10:32 PM

That's right. He had 4 pro fights from 99-01 then 1 more last year.

Yeah. They wanted a boxing match but they couldn't get that past the state commission so they arranged a "mma" fight.

I know Herschel doesn't have Ray's technique or power, but TUF reject Abe put him away.

**urge2kill** · 01-30-11, 11:03 PM

Have you seen Herschel fight off his back? Cause that's where he'd spend most of the short fight against Randy. Well, maybe not cause once down it wouldn't take Randy long to finish him.

**Varker** · 01-30-11, 11:07 PM

he's freaking 50, the fact we are even talking about this just proves how ridiculously athletic this dude is.

**Tree Rollins** · 01-30-11, 11:23 PM

Brock Lesnar is so much better then this guy that he could literally do wrestling moves against him in an mma match. He could powerbomb him, piledrive him, stone cold stun him etc. Walker defintaly is a freak though, i'm not doubting that. But he just beat Scott Carson, let's not put him in the same sentence as one of the top 3 heavyweight fighters in the entire world.
