    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

    **** 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.

    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 ******ed 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?

    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."

    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".

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

    Guy's a freak.
