Joe Rogan Reflects on Herschel Walker's MMA Career

I just saw this yesterday. I don't know why it was coming around, but this is Bo Jackson throwing somebody out flatfooted from the outfield. It's not this one, but it's his next one official. Bo Jackson was one of the freakiest athletes of all time. His arm is so crazy. Everything was crazy. If he didn't get hurt in that football game, look at this, jumps off the wall so he avoids all the impact. Literally just ran up the wall. Yeah, Bo knew everything. What was it? Baseball, football? That was just two sports. Played two sports, but world class at both sports. It wasn't until the football injury that he had to get hip replacement. Growing up, he was the first person you picked. I got this motherfucker on what sport? Everything. Anything and everything. There's certain dudes that just have the perfect build, the perfect genetics, and then work ethic. Another one is a Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker. His knees are destroyed now. How could they not be? How could they not be? Yeah, they say he can barely walk now. He'll still fuck you up. Herschel Walker, he was fucking people up in strike force when he was in his late 40s. I was thinking Earl Campbell. That's the one that's really, really bad with him. I don't think Herschel Walker has bad knees. He was fighting almost until he was 50. He was fighting in strike force. A lot of people don't know that. Yeah, Herschel Walker at 48, 49, whatever he was when he was fighting, looked like a 30-year-old perfect specimen of an athlete. He didn't look like an older athlete who's doing something different, like trying to fight. It looks like he's fucking world class, ripped, full six-pack, superjacked, still has the same discipline. What is his age there? What does it say? 48. 48. Look at the build. Not right there. 48 right there. Yes! Dude, look at the build on this fucking guy. He destroyed the student strike force. He beat a few guys. He was undefeated in MMA. The way he would beat these guys was just, first of all, he had a long martial arts background. He'd done martial arts before anything. I did not never know any of this. But he's got such a crazy disciplined work ethic that his body is still in pristine shape in his late 40s. Now, I don't know if he's taken hormones or anything here. Either way, the way this guy looked in his 40s and the way he was competing. I mean, it's just like his face. His face does not look... Yes, everything about him. Yeah, that's crazy. That guy would do push-ups and sit-ups and bodyweight squats and shit over weightlifting. That was like his big thing, was that he did mostly calisthenics. I had no idea that he ever did that. Dude, Herschel Walker was a freak out. That's crazy. See, that's what I say. You know everything, that motherfucker. But dude, that's the thing. When he started fighting, people were like, oh, you know, he's like a guy who still wants to compete, who used to be world class or something. He probably won't be good at fighting. Right. He's fucking beat up there. I mean, look at that. When me just looked at it, it didn't look like it was just like a show. No, no, no. No, he looks like a professional mixed martial arts fighter. I wouldn't say he looked like the best in the world, but he was professional. And he even went to one of the best gyms in the world. He went to AKA. AKA is in San Jose. It's one of the best mixed martial arts. Kane Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, John Fitch, Josh Koshchek. We can go down the list. A lot of great fighters came out of there. Yeah, it's a great gym. And they have been training world class fighters forever. So he went to the Lions Den. He got to be with Nirma Gamedov training there. Mike Swick trained there. I mean, it's the Lions Den. He went to the comedy store. He went to the comedy store. He went right in there and he trained there. Look at that. Look at that build. Come on, man. Who the fuck looks like that in their late 40s and does professional cage fighting after a long career in the NFL? I mean, that's crazy. I mean, you're not sure why I'm doing something special, man. He was something special. I had no idea. Oh my God. Dude, and I'm telling you, every fight was like this.
