Herschel Walker stopped by the Bristol, Connecticut campus of ESPN and made an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd today. Pro Fighting Fans has a brief summary of the interview below.
Walker will be making his Mixed Martial Arts debut fighting on the January 30 Strikeforce card on Showtime at 10 pm ET.
We learned that Walker is the largest minority owner a poultry company in the U.S. owning Renaissance Man Food Service.
Speaking to his MMA training, his stand-up game expected to be strength, but after training they now feel wrestling is his strength. Walker said he will be comfortable wherever his opponent takes the fight but he will be looking to control things.
Walker is training at the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in California and several shots in the video footage showed him training with UFC Heavyweight Cain Velasquez.
Herschel said his biggest worry is not being prepared, and while he did give props to Dana White for cleaning up the sport of MMA, he said he is not a Dana White fan thanks to his negative comments about Walker debut in MMA at age 47.
Walker said he has 4% body fat and is currently at about 216 pounds and needs to get bigger. He said he will adjust based on how things go with the first fight on if he will look into a weight cut in future fights or if he needs to bulk up to remain a MMA heavyweight.
