Herschel Walker interested in one more professional fight: ‘I’d step back in the cage’

Football legend Herschel Walker revealed that he would be interested in competing once more in mixed martial arts.

Several days ago, ESPN announced that Herschel Walker wanted to become the George Foreman of the NFL and return to the sport. Now, just a couple of days removed from Bellator 138, Walker confirmed that at 53 years old, he was still interested in competing once more in mixed martial arts.

"I'd still fight because I still train," Walker told MMAFighting.com's Luke Thomas. "I'd step back in the cage and fight a little bit."

Back in September 2009, Walker announced that he had signed with Strikeforce and would begin a training camp at the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) to prepare himself for his first fight the following year.
