Herschel Walker is starting a new career in mixed martial arts. The 47-year-old former NFL running back said Monday he has signed a multifight contract with promoter Strikeforce. Walker will begin a 12-week training camp next month in San Jose, Calif., with the American Kickboxing Academy. The 1982 Heisman Trophy winner already holds a fifth-degree black belt in taekwondo. “I’ve been training for several years,” Walker said in a statement. “I’m now looking forward to opening up another chapter in my life and competing in MMA.” The Associated Press; AP photo
