At the age of 54, former NFL running back Herschel Walker still says he’s doing his longtime routine of hundreds or even thousands of pushups and situps a day. And that’s not even the most impressive thing Walker says he’ll do.
In an interview with Fox 2 in St. Louis, Walker said he plans to compete in another mixed martial arts fight.
When asked directly, “You’ll fight again?” Walker answered, “Oh, yes. I do it for fun. I love this sport.”
Walker has had two pro MMA fights, one in 2010 and one in 2011. He won both by technical knockout, although he was facing hand-picked opponents who didn’t offer much of a challenge.
In addition to winning a Heisman Trophy and playing in two Pro Bowls, Walker ran track at Georgia and was an Olympic bobsledder. He was late to start MMA, but he says he’s not done fighting yet.
