Herschel Walker would be the first death in MMA

[TheBradyHawkes]

According to douchebag supreme Dana White, if Walker ever got into the cage with a UFC opponent. What a complete dick, and hasn't there already been an MMA related death? :huh

Herschel Walker and Jose Canseco have gotten way too much coverage from the mainstream media according to UFC president Dana White and he's sick of it. Before and after his Strikeforce fight, Walker has appeared all ESPN television and radio.
"Herschel Walker is like 50 years old and it’s a cool little fun hobby," White told Gridlock on ESPNRadio1100 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) in Las Vegas."You know what makes me crazy is the media attention it got. ESPN will cover Herschel Walker fighting when you got guys like George St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, Brock Lesnar, and B.J. Penn. All these great athletes that have been training for years and are the best in the sport and you are talking about Herschel Walker? Then you start talking about Walker possibly fighting Jose Canseco? Oh my god, give me a break."
For many casual fans, after seeing Walker all over ESPN, the natural question is why isn't Walker in the UFC?
"Hell no. You know what would happen to Herschel Walker over here? It would be the first death in MMA," said White. "He wasn’t impressive in his first fight; he would have to turn it up for the next three or four."

Fuck Dana White. Almost everyone else in the whole world wiould concede that Walker was 'impressive' in that fight given his age. White never knows when to shut up. Didn't he just put on a PPV event which featured two "nearly 50" year old dudes going at it? One of whom was so impressive that he was cut from the roster like 2 days later.

Walker is incredibly impressive for a 47 year old who just started training MMA; that being said he is a 47 year old who just started training MMA. He is not Dan Severn, he is not Coleman, and he damn sure is not Couture.

If he wants to keep fighting, good for him; I don't care to watch it, but he isn't pure freak show.

However, if he gets in there with a serious fighter, especially a guy who can hit with some power, he is a huge liability in terms of getting hurt. He doesn't have anything to fall back on in terms of skill; the three older guys mentioned earlier can tie a guy up, take them down, something. They have years of experience with guys trying to take their head off and have the instincts and skill to avoid getting hurt.

If Walker keeps fighting in big shows, he is eventually going to have to fight a live body, he shouldnt, but it is inevitable. If he fights to his experience level like any other beginner he would be fine, but if, as the interview premise states he were to fight in the UFC against even the tamest UFC HW like Mitrione, he would be at a very serious risk for permanent damage.

hes only stating the obvious, what most mma purists already know! there will always be these flavour of the month sideshows in any sport! danas right, who cares about walker except maybe scuraluntings and his old man 6 pack fetish! lol

[socrates]

the crux of danas beef is the fact that a lot of these strikeforce groupies and mma noobs probably dont even know who matt lindland or jeremy horn are! yet slice and lashley etc are probably tattooed on most of there retarded arses! thats wrong!

Of course that's wrong!! But If that is the case then those ill-informed "Fans" aren't worth getting steamed up over, are they?

[sugarngold]

Dana's losing his grip if he's actually complaining about Herschel Walker. He needs to remember the first rule of competition, "when you're number one there is no number two."

[Sloth]

Dana White made the exact same statement about Kimbo Slice. If you watch Dana's interviews, you will see they are the same statements used over and over.:deal Just insert a different fighter not signed with the UFC. If walker signed with the UFC Dana would say "this guy is a tremendous athlete with great potential in MMA".

[Chicago Nights]

I'd never doubt Herschel Walker's ability to do ANYTHING.

Guy's a freak.

[AMERICANBORN]

death? no, but from what i saw of herschel training and his fight against nagy he would not be to well off in the ufc, adrenaline cant get tim sylvia vs wes sims sanctioned, good look getting herschel santioned against a UFC heavy

[AMERICANBORN]

Of course that's wrong!! But If that is the case then those ill-informed "Fans" aren't worth getting steamed up over, are they?
i think dana is more steamed about the press and media coverage herschel got, which i guess i can understand, but at the same time he is one of the best athletes america has ever produced and all its doing is bringing more eyes over to mma, but im sure dana is just fed up being asked about it everytime he does an interview

[Боксёр]

Walker would end Dana's life , he is right .

[IntentionalButt]

Man, Dana White is on par with my hatred for Kanye West.:fire
