Quote via MMA Weekly:
He's doing it for charity. He's donating 100 percent of his purse to a non-profit," said Coker.
"He wants to just test himself and he's been at the AKA (American Kickboxing Academy) training camp the last 45 days. He's not gonna go home for Christmas. He's gonna stay through the holidays and train there. He's in good hands," Coker detailed, adding that Walker told his trainers at AKA to advise him not to fight if they felt he wasn't going to be ready to compete."
I guess this fits into one of those "for love of the game" categories. Disney is going to make a movie out of this, aren't they?

You really should post a warning if a video is going to contain Frank Shamrock talking over it.

Agreed!
The other thing about this – as I said last week in my Heavy.com piece – is that we have a 46-year-old rookie who it now seems is doing this all for charity and to test himself.
Want to raise money and test yourself? Fight amateur.
While Walker is certainly in far better shape at his age than I have ever been in my life, 45 days at AKA and a desire to challenge yourself doesn’t make you a fighter, so unless they give him an absolute tomato can, I don’t know how this is going to turn out… and it makes me nervous.
