Does Herschel Walker ever get tired of winning? It doesn't look like it, because he was able to pick up his second MMA win by defeating Scott Carson in the Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg event on Saturday night.
Honestly, this fight was one sided as soon as the opening bell rang. In fact, according to Michael David Smith who covered the event for mmafighting.com, Carson did not even try to punch back. Walker threw punches at Carson as soon as the fight got started. Then Walker slammed Carson on the ground and started whaling on him, which forced the referee to stop the match a little over three minutes in.
Here's what Walker told Smith after the match:
"I was OK. I've got to be on offense. Being a young MMA fighter I've got to control what I'm doing in the cage."
He certainly had control in the fight, and he improves his MMA record to 2-0. So with the win, the question is how far can he go with MMA? Will he face a much younger opponent that has more experience? And if he continues to win, could he compete for a title? Only time will tell, but knowing Walker's work ethic and dedication, anything is possible for the 48-year old.
