Herschel Walker continues to defy Father Time. The 48-year-old former NFL and college football star toyed with Scott Carson to pick up his second career mixed martial arts win on the Strikeforce card in San Jose, Calif.
Walker knocked Carson down with a left hook in the opening minute of their fight at the HP Pavilion and brutalized him on the ground for the next two minutes. Referee Dan Stell stepped in to save Carson at 3:13 of the first round. Walker is now 2-0 and said he plans on moving forward with his MMA career.
“MMA is my love,” Walker said, when asked about talk of an NFL return.
Walker has been successful in every athletic endeavor he’s attempted, so he’s very demanding of himself in MMA.
“I was okay. I took a kick where I thought I was getting a little too excited,” Walker said. “When you’re in MMA, you should be able to take a kick like that.”
Walker was a bull from the get-go.
