Latest HerschelWalker Stories

It's not the most traditional career path, but Charlie Brenneman can say it got him where he wanted to go.

The season one winner on the Spike reality show "Pros vs. Joes," Brenneman recently accomplished another, more significant athletic goal, signing a four-fight deal with the UFC.

Herschel Walker has heard Jose Canseco's challenge to fight, and he is not amused.

The 47-year-old is still doing media rounds following his weekend win over Greg Nagy in his professional MMA debut for Strikeforce. Speaking to the Dallas-based Bob and Dan Radio show, Walker cautioned Canseco for calling him out and said he didn't think Canseco realized how serious he is about MMA and his training.

Saying he knew Canseco was simply hoping for a quick payday, Walker said if they ever actually got into a cage, things would end badly for the former baseball slugger.

Every time the hourglass seems to be running out of sand, Randy Couture flips it over and starts fresh.

At 46, Couture is one of the world's oldest active mixed martial artists, and aside from the recently debuting Herschel Walker, the oldest to fight for a major organization. Without question, he is the most decorated MMA fighter in his age group, but that's not a distinction he particularly cares for. To him, it's simple: either he's capable of competing with the very best in the world, or he's not.

Want evidence? Just ask the man who's preparing to face Mark Coleman at Saturday's UFC 109 about his interest level in fighting the winner of the upcoming Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua light-heavyweight title fight.

The Herschel Walker effect boosted Strikeforce: Miami's ratings, as the event drew 517,000 viewers, according to a news release.

Jose Canseco has never been one to miss a chance to take a shortcut or get his name in the news, so it should come to little surprise to anyone when the self-admitted juicer seized upon someone else's success in an attempt to steal the spotlight for himself.

His latest target: Herschel Walker.

Writing on his Twitter account, which amazingly has over 320,000 followers, Canseco wrote, "I guess I may have to show Herschel Walker who the real bad Boy of the Sports industry is. If the powers that be are reading, I want in."

With another Strikeforce event in the books and some time to reflect on what we saw last Saturday night, it's time for some observations based on our perfect hindsight.

What, if anything, did Nick Diaz do wrong? Does Bobby Lashley's win have any long-term significance for his career? And what in the world is Strikeforce doing with Jay Hieron?

All this and more as we look back at Strikeforce's most recent offering.
