Rumor: Herschel Walker’s MMA Debut Against Greg Nagy
With just three weeks remaining until his professional MMA debut 1982 Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker has an opponent. Rage in the Cage competitor Greg Nagy is expected to meet Walker as part of the televised portion of Strikeforce’s next event on Showtime on January 30th.
Multiple sources close to the event have informed ULTMMA.com (www.ultmma.com) of the likely match-up.
This is an appropriate enough first fight for Walker and on the surface doesn’t have the risk of Johnny Morton’s debut in the sport. For a reminder:
Morton was stretchered out of the ring and to top things off went ahead and popped a positive steroid test. Let’s hope for better things from Walker.
SBNation.com has reached out to Strikeforce for confirmation of the bout.
