Heisman Winner and Power Ranger New to MMA
World class athletes of all sports and disciplines are trying to break their way into MMA. Some want to see if they can handle the conditioning and the challenge of the fight. There are those trying to break into the sport to continue their quest as world class athletes and fighting for the championship belt. No matter what the motivation, MMA truly is becoming known as the sport where the real athletes live and work.
Herschel Walker and Jason Frank both are known names who are helping to bring light to the sport and challenge themselves in a whole new way. This past season of The Ultimate Fighter had a few former professional football players who revealed this sport is quite tough. They showed that to make it in a match of three five-minute rounds conditioning had to be top-notch.
Now, bring in Herschel Walker, the Heisman Trophy holder, who recently debuted in MMA. This 47 year old was heralded for his level of conditioning in his recent fight. Although he is nowhere near ready for elite fighters, his fight was impressive. Walker walked away with a victory and is currently trumpeting a 1-0 record. Many of the MMA in-crowd stated this will probably be his only fight, but it was a good one and he helped shine more light onto this great sport.
The next newcomer is Jason D. Frank. He has been in the shadows of the MMA world for quite awhile now. However, he had his first fight on January 30th and won by submission in the Lonestar Beatdown. Jason is best known for his time on the kid’s television show, The Power Rangers. This martial arts master and fighter who is belted in numerous arts is now 1-0 as an MMA fighter. He enjoyed a first round victory using an omaplata.
He let me in on his training video, and there was no doubt in my mind that he would run through whoever climbed in the ring against him. He has been preparing to fight MMA for a long time, and it showed in his training and in his recent victory.
