Former Heisman winner, NFL running back Herschel Walker ready for MMA debutMIAMI LAKES, Fla. – Even Herschel Walker's mother apparently isn't too keen on her son's latest competitive venture. "She's been praying that they wouldn't find an opponent for me," the former Heisman Trophy winner and mixed martial arts novice said with a broad smile. "Even though she wants me to do it, she's been praying that they don't find me an opponent." So much for divine intervention. Walker's MMA debut was finalized Tuesday when Greg Nagy was announced as his opponent for the Strikeforce card to be contested Jan. 30 at the Florida Panthers' arena in Sunrise, Fla.
