Their goals are different but the risk is still huge for both Herschel Walker and Bobby Lashley. Walker is risking serious injury fighting in a pro mixed martial arts fight at 47-years-old. He has no false expectations. Walker knows he’ll never be a champion but that’s not the case with Lashley. He’s hoping for a fight against the world’s best, Fedor Emelianenko, down the road. He’ll face the toughest test of his career in 6-foot-10, 258-pound Wes Sims.
The photo above was the first time 26-year-old Greg Nagy had met Walker. The football legend said the kid was a little intimidated.
"Strikeforce: Miami" weigh-ins were today at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. All the main card fighters made weight.
