“Do you still fight?” a reporter for CNN asks Sensei Steven Seagal.
“Yes I do.”
“Are you still dangerous?”
Seagal just glares in silence to self-confirm his deadliness.
A long-time staple of the action cinema world, Steven Seagal resurfaced in recent years in the mixed martial arts circle after footage of him training with Anderson Silva surfaced online giving the fans and media alike some of the most strangest, head scratching yet entertaining thoughts and philosophies on himself and the martial arts.
“The guys that I’m training in the UFC, some of them have gotten their world championship belts because they’ve attributed that to me teaching them.”
Despite these accolades not all people in the MMA world are impressed. UFC Hall of Famer and former champion Bas Rutten went on a memorable rant on Twitter regarding Seagal’s claims after Anderson Silva’s front kick KO of Vitor Belfort.
MMA legend Bas Rutten: “Seagal now claiming he taught Silva that kick? And he REALLY believes this? Wow, again WOW! He taught him a front kick to the face? He invented that? Nobody else knows this kick yet? What planet does he live on?
