Football players gone MMA fighters bring the lolz. Just look at Matt Mitrione. Plus, this guys first fight will be at 47? Dude, Randy Couture is 47, only difference is he's been doing it for 10 years. And I thought UFC was starting to become a joke. Now I feel like MMA is becoming a joke.

As much as I love football, and as much as I'm behind Walker here... you're a long ways from wrong. MMA is probably the closest sport to football in terms of physicality, but it seems like it opened the door for gifted athletes who half assed football, and are fully prepared to half ass MMA. Marcus Jones (aka Big Baby of the Ultimate Fighter) was a crazy good athlete, but watching him strike was a fucking comedy act. Mitrione, anybody who watched that idiot's attitude towards training knows exactly why he failed in the NFL. I think maybe Brock Lesnar was the exception to prove the rule only because he was so goddamn big it was impossible for him not to succeed at something.

Walker, as I've read, was into martial arts before football and his technique definitely shows an attention to the aesthetics of the sport not just the classic heavyweight "imma punch him in the face" mentality that makes the 220+ division suck.
