It did create a buzz. I do have a problem with the washed up athletes (Canseco, Herschel etc...) thinking they can try MMA though. It seems to be an insult to the sport. Fair enough.

Coker needs something to put against the UFC and at least its not Kimbo. I would agree except how many people are talking about this?

But let us face it even in the UFC they put fights with names on top vs. what would be considered sold contests. Strikeforce is trying to make money, especially since they are now rivals with the UFC like it or not, and right now they need to generate more of a buzz. Herschel is legit for every reason Curtis points out and more and I know a few people who tuned in to see him who never watched MMA.

It's setting him up for embarrassment. I have huge respect for Herschel Walker, but the guy should have a fight on an undercard before appearing on the main card. We have no idea if the guy has any skill, we're just listening to the hype. I'll be rooting for Herschel, but I would've rather seen Riggs vs. Baroni on the main card, because those two guys have shown they can fight.
