Martial-artist-turned-actor Steven Seagal has made waves in 2011 by being in the corner of two of the top fighters in the UFC, Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva. The 59-year-old has been training with the fighters for a few years now, but his presence has suddenly become mainstream following his post-fight interviews after UFC 126 and UFC 129.
At those two events, both Silva and Machida ended their fights in astonishing fashion with different versions of the same kick—a front kick to the face—which both Black House fighters learned during their time training with Master Seagal.
The star of Law Man may not look like the same bad ass who whooped ass in Hard to Kill, but results don’t lie and apparently the martial arts training he took decades ago still applies even in today’s age of mixed martial arts.
As we saw at UFC 129 when Machida utilzed a kick seen in The Karate Kid to finish off Randy Couture, Seagal has seen it all and will have his fighter ready to dethrone the current 205-pound champion Jon Jones.
Expect Seagal to take full advantage of his nearly half-century-long martial arts career where he has learned everything there is to know about every martial art in the world. Master Seagal will teach his pupil these six techniques which will leave even the great Jon Jones in shock as Lyoto leaves UFC 140 with the UFC light heavyweight championship.
