Scott Coker though, has said that NFL Legend Herschel Walker has been scheduled to make his return on their upcoming San Jose card this January.

Herschel Walker sustained a deep cut under his left eye that required multiple stitches while training Monday at American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Calif., and will not be able to fight on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Herschel Walker's second opponent in MMA was recently announced by Strikeforce, and while Scott Carson (4-1) isn't another Greg Nagy, fans were still less than impressed by their choice. Carson heard this, and feels like he's being unfairly criticized and written off even before he steps foot inside the Strikeforce cage.

Herschel Walker will meet Scott Carson in a featured heavyweight bout at Strikeforce "Henderson vs. Babalu" on Dec. 4 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, the promotion's CEO Scott Coker confirmed on Friday.

Herschel Walker will be fighting on Strikeforce's December 4th card, why not book him against Dave Bautista.

A long-rumored matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral will headline a currently unannounced Strikeforce event slated for Dec. 4 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

So called "freak show" fighters like James Toney and Herschel Walker bring a lot to the UFC by drawing attention.
