You know you’re a big deal when Frank Shamrock is handling color commentary for your striking drills. Herschel Walker‘s MMA debut is slated for next month, and even though his opponent is still TBA, Strikeforce decided to shoot some footage of the former football star working out at American Kickboxing Academy to prove that he can hit pads without injuring himself. Of course, this tells us nothing about the ground skills that he may or may not be picking up, but hey, those roundhouse kicks look pretty sharp for a 47-year-old. Tickets for Strikeforce: Miami go on sale to the general public tomorrow at Ticketmaster; as of now, no matchups have been officially announced, so purchase at your own risk.

commentsHeavy feet. I hope he can check a leg kick because whoever is fighting him would be smart to just chop him down and then shoot takedowns. Come on Strikeforce, there are better REAL fighters out there. Shit there are better GIMMICK fighters out there.

Yea, he definitely drops his hands a little witch each punch, but at least he can actually throw a high kick.Couture's standup is good but hes got his problems too, with that goofy crouching jab he liked to throw so much in the nogueira fight and his habitual bouy like head bobbing.
Frank Shamrock is the biggest douche in MMA? I'm sorry I'd have that award to his brother Ken, not even sure if I could do that..there are a lot of douches in mma. I'd give the douche award to Junie Browning
Herchel doesn't look too bad, I mean its his mma debut, looks better than fuckin half the people in the UFC house, but that doesnt say much. Gotta be the youngest lookin 47 year old I've seen, i still think TKD is crap though. Plus you know we're all going to watch this shit.
i have to admit that my attempts around these parts usually go in the direction of failed humor, but in all truth...i think both herschel's high kicks and punching seem superior to what coleman or couture can throw.
and to those who look to rip on the dude for being an ex NFL football player that might be out of this league stepping into MMA: you just watched an entire season of UFC programming based on roughly the same premise.
let the guy fight, then make the call.
I also love how the stupid event is called "Strikeforce:Miami" even though it's being held in Sunrise, Florida which is apart of West Fort Lauderdale.
It's closer to the swamp than the beach.
What weight is Walker fighting at by the way?
FIrst once again.
