Herschel Walker calls out Dana White and Lesnar

Dana White is perhaps one of the most well-known figures in the biggest party town in America, Las Vegas, so it’s safe to say that has a ton of friends. But it also seems like every time the UFC President opens his mouth, he manages to make a few new enemies as well.

That seems to be the case with former NFL running back-turned Strikeforce MMA fighter Herschel Walker, who called out White Tuesday morning on ESPN’s First Take TV show for taking issue with his signing.

Okay, so enemy is a strong word, but Walker definitely has issues with the way White responded to his signing.

White questioned Walker’s credentials and age (47) when he was signed, continuing his war with up-and-coming MMA organization Strikeforce.

Walker challenged White to an MMA fight, noting that White has also been training, and suggested that the money could be donated to charity.

But that’s not all, as Walker continued on to say that he could beat all of the fighters on season ten of The Ultimate Fighter, which includes Kimbo Slice, four former NFL players, and MMA veterans like Wes Sims and Roy Nelson among others.

As if that wasn’t enough, Walker, who still hasn’t had his first pro fight, also said he’d like to fight Brock Lesnar, the UFC heavyweight champion, at some point.

All of which of course has garnered tons of publicity for both Walker and Strikeforce as well as White and MMA in general.

At this point, it seems as though the mainstream media is milking MMA for all it’s worth and doing their best to reel in the casual fan who probably can’t tell Antonio Rodrigo Nogeuria from Shogun Rua. There was no reason for Walker to even discuss the Lesnar issue, but it’s an enticing hypothetical situation that despite its lack of relevancy is still fun to talk about
