Hershel Walker is a rare talent who has exceeded in football, Olympic bobsledding and to an extent, even mixed martial arts.
The former NFL running back competed inside the Strikeforce cage on two occasions: January 2010 and January 2011, winning both heavyweight fights via first round TKO.
Despite turning 51-years-old earlier this month, Walker told the Washington, D.C. area’s The Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes, he’d like one more MMA fight before he hangs up the gloves. That is, as long as it’s inside the Octagon.
"I would love to do it again," he said. "I absolutely love MMA. I think it's an excellent sport … "If I was younger, I would be doing it right now,” Walker said.
“Because I'm a little bit older and I have a business going, I would like to do one more fight and then, I think, it's time for me step aside and give it to the young people. But I would love to do one more fight," later adding he wants that fight to be in the UFC.
Walker, a former Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer, is a fifth degree black belt in Taekwondo and trains MMA and San Jose, California’s famed American Kickboxing Academy.
UFC President Dana White is yet to address Walker’s recent request for a one-shot deal inside the Octagon.
