The 51-year-old former NCAA and NFL star -- not to mention Olympian -- hasn't fought in over two years, however, he told
The Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukess on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, that he wants to fight
one more time, and he wants that fight to take place inside the UFC
Octagon.
"I would love to do it again," he said. "I absolutely love MMA. I think it's an excellent sport.
"If I was younger, I would be doing it right now. Because I'm a
little bit older and I have a business going, I would like to do one
more fight and then, I think, it's time for me step aside and give it
to the young people. But I would love to do one more fight."
When asked by Dukes where he would want that fight to take place, the
former Heisman Trophy winner emphatically said "in the UFC."
Walker is 2-0 as an MMA fighter. In his pro MMA debut, he defeated Greg Nagy via third-round TKO at
Strikeforce: Miami in Jan. 2010 and then stopped
Scott Carson in the first round of their fight at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg in
Jan. 2011. After Zuffa purchased Strikeforce in March 2011, Walker's MMA
career appeared to be over.
UFC president Dana White, who has never seemed too interested in
signing Walker to the UFC, did not respond to a request for a comment on
Walker's statements.
