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...

Strikeforce will make a mint because of his name. What's the point of putting him with cans? Why not match him up with someone with the same athletic ability? I am not saying put him with Fedor but man, many of these fighters in MMA have been doing this a long time waiting for their shot but because they did not play in the NFL or have name recognition will not get a shot because Herschel thinks he can beat all of the fighters in his division.
The same shit happened with Kimbo. They fed him guys he could and should beat until Seth sent him down for the nap. If Herschel wants to truly fight MMA, cut your teeth on the indie circuit like those that have paid their dues for a while.
