Though Strikeforce will make a mint from PPV sales because viewers will tune in to see him get knocked out or "shock the world."

Who said I am unsatisfied with my life, I have always been satisfied to hate him and any other shit that came from University of Georgia.
That's pussy? When you get off your couch and do something as ballsy as trying MMA for the first time at 48 then you can call someone else a pussy. You also don't put a guy in there with a top level fighter when he is making his MMA debut, and it's not like Strikeforce will be putting him in any main events. He will be an undercard fighter booked as a curiosity that will be matched against guys with a similar experience level, maybe even another ex-NFL player that is getting his start in MMA, as there is no shortage of them now.

Strikeforce isn't going to make mint off Herschel Walker, and at best they can hope for a bit of a ratings boost on the card he is fighting and some mainstream press. Again, good for him for having the balls to give it a shot and testing himself again at an advanced age. Why bother? Because he can...
