If Randy Couture comes looking for a fight, Steven Seagal guarantees that only one man will walk out.
The growing feud between the martial arts legends stems from a joke Couture made during an appearance on G4TV’s “Attack of Show” (via MMAWeekly.com).
According to Couture, a bout against Seagal is the only fight that would intrigue him enough to come out of retirement. Seagal didn’t take the challenge lightly, and he accepted the fight during a phone interview with MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.
Unfortunately, the proposed bout would have strict conditions.
According to Seagal, the fight would be no-holds barred and take place in a location where there are no witnesses.
This is a complete bummer for MMA fans hoping to see Sensei Seagal suck in the gut and throw on a pair of four-ounce gloves for his UFC debut.
In all seriousness, Seagal comes from a legitimate martial arts background. As a seventh-degree black belt in Aikido, he serves as a personal mentor to MMA legends Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.
If the dream fight came to fruition, is there a chance Seagal does the unthinkable and upsets Couture?
Yes, we are actually going there.
Here is the head-to-toe breakdown of the proposed dream fight between UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture and Hollywood action star Steven Seagal.
