 Herschel Walker victorious in MMA introduction
by USA Today
Herschel Walker proved he's no Johnnie Morton.
Years after retiring from his career as an NFL running back, Walker (1-0) made his debut as a mixed martial artist on Saturday with a third-round technical knockout of an overwhelmed Greg Nagy (1-2) at Strikeforce's show in Miami. Walker finished off Nagy with strikes on the ground 2:17 into the final round.
Nagy found himself outmatched from the start. Walker stuffed Nagy's takedown shots and put him on the mat almost at will. Other than brief attempts at a heel hook in the first round and an armbar in the third -- Walker easily evaded both -- Nagy had almost no offense.
Walker took down Nagy and mounted him every round, flattened him out on his stomach at least twice and stayed busy enough with strikes to avoid any referee stand-ups. At the end, Nagy was doing nothing but absorbing Walker's punches on the ground until the stoppage. [more] |
