NATURAL WONDER: "At the University of Georgia, to the chagrin of his coaches, Herschel played football on Saturday and fought in martial arts tournaments on Sunday. And keep in mind that he won the Heisman. When he came to me, I tested him against a D1 wrestler, a kickboxer and a jujitsu specialist. He did so well that we invited him to attend AKA, the country's premier MMA gym. I've never seen it happen before, but he hung in there with everybody." -- Scott Coker, CEO of Strikeforce
