MMA H.E.A.T.'s Karyn Bryant spends a few moments backstage at #UFC 126 with actor/Lawman/Aikido enthusiast #StevenSeagal and gets his thoughts on his dear friend Anderson Silva's victory over Vitor Belfort. Seagal talks about how proud he is, how long he's been training Silva, the comparisons between the middleweight champ and Bruce Lee and whether or not Silva is the greatest MMA fighter ever.

Steven Seagal is amazing. We need to keep feeding his ego so he continues producing these hilarious moments.

[@chrishey9879]

Ok but if he legit told anderson the gameplan which anderson legit did and used the kick then why can't you give steven credit? It seems like people are just choosing to hate on him cuz it's the "cool" thing to do like a bunch of beta middle schoolers

many don't know but seagal offered a challenge to anyone back in the 80's in black belt magazine. 8 different fighters of the era accepted and seagal backed out. 

[@rhysperegrine5100]

At a certain point in his training he became so deadly that it was suddenly impossible for him to engage in combat without killing his opponent. Even a friendly game of ping pong has been known to end up in crushed larynxes and decapitations. And Seagal turned his back on such violence many years ago because of, you know, Buddhism and stuff

Remember when Segal was claiming Van Damme wasn't really a champion and wasn't a good fighter. Well I actually saw Van Damme fight in REAL fights and he was really good back then. But Segal had the chance to tangle with Van Damme at Sly Stallone's house. They were gonna go outside and settle it but Segal chickened out.

[@DJFEUDINGSTATE511]

I trained Aikido in Osaka for a short while, and learned that my masters star pupil at the time fought Seagal in tournaments as he was a rival Masters star pupil and said he was a very strong fighter that had tremendous skills. Many do not give Aikido the credit, but the ground work with locks and submmisions will definitely have someone tap before they even know it. I agree, Seagal intro'd the front kick to Anderson, not as a muay thai push kick, but a karate front kick which is new to UFC.

My favorite actor Steven Seagal martial arts 😎😎😎😎😎😉😉😉☺☺😃😃😃

[@skywalkr888]

People just talk shit about Seagal. So ignorant about true spirit of Martial arts or the zero understanding of Aikido. MMA fighters do what they do because they want to fight in a competition level. Aikido practitioners learn their form for self defense and in the spirit of Aikido, practitioners do not compete. It comes down to choice. Aikido allows a practitioner to practice Aikido until they are very old. In MMA, you'd be retired by 35 from all the beating to the head and body. MMA is no different to 2 people bashing each other on the streets. .. You'd end up with one getting beaten up. Unless you are an Aikido practitioner, you won't understand what Seagal is talking about.

[@dukeslaps]

BJJ is the most effective jiu jitsu, thats why you see it working in mma, even if seagal knew any jiu jitsu it would be all japanese which is mostly standing and only works on drunk people, wtf is your point with this aikido practitioner shit lmfao, seagal would gas in a minute if he fought anyone he sweats just doing an interview..... lmfao. Seagal hasn't even fought anyone other then getting choked out by lebell in 6 seconds. Oh and van damme challenged seagal after seagal was being disrespectful and saying he could beat anyone up, seagal pussed out and left and lmfao at aikido retards being like oh well hes a good person hes not going to fight anyone. Ok then why was he talking shit at the party saying he could beat everyone up? stallones words not mine it was his house party hes got no reason to lie. I got a guy in my bjj class that said he did aikido, says its useless compared to bjj and its more of a cult where they try to make you think your good and getting better so you keep spending money to train there, not everyone in aikido realizes this sadly and some people probably like you will keep practicing aikido not knowing its ineffective against anyone that trains a real martial art. You can say aikido is good, you can say japanese JJ is good but whens the last time you saw someone get subbed on there feet? MMA is reality of course theres some effective stuff you can't do like eye gouges nut shots back to the head shots and certain elbow strikes but thats for safety. You can make all the excuses you want for aikido but im sorry to say its nothing different then me creating my own art and saying its deadly but its not allowed in the ufc, and it will be just as much BS as claiming aikido is effective. I wish you the best in learning the real truth and eventually learning an effective martial art, and if you do ever realize the bs involved in aikido(which can even be researched because its a fact) I hope you tell your aikido friends so they can stop wasting time and money as well

[@DragonNestKingShiny]

First off steven segal would absolutely own so many ufc fighter in a anything goes fight hand to hand combat no weapons

[@DragonNestKingShiny]

also ufc is staged bull shit! Urian hall vs Calvin's please tell me that wasnt staged.

[@mragren9853]

So lets see, you think that this man is a good ambassadour for Aikido, He claims that he has fought all his life, and according to your great sensei M Ueshiba fighting is never the goal, He always incorporates sadistic scenes of knifes pushed into faces etc.etc in all of his movies, He is reported for abuse against women , He claims to be this great warrior in his own mind , But he and acts like a kid not as a Master of aikido no matter the 7dan , He’s both a bad represent for Aikido and stinks at fighting all in one.

I saw the fight between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort, and maybe I'm lacking some knowledge when it comes to the finest subtleties of martial art, but what I saw was a perfectly timed front kick delivered to the jaw. So if this was a different type of kick "coming and perfected by the grand masters of Karate and Jiu-Jitsu" as being told by Mr Seagal, I'd like to know how it differs from a conventional front kick taught to any Karate white belt around the world.

[@pandakungfu3533]

About the ridicule about the "front kick" :))) Segal really helped Machida and Silva with this punch. He showed them one of the options for the strategic implementation of this, showed an aspect. What has been confirmed in practice - two knockouts with this particular punch from two different fighters after work with Segal. Before that, they did not have this. Not a coincidence, but an obvious fact! Therefore, later did not spread much about this, which is understandable - sport and business requires the rules of the game and they need to promote what brings them profit and image.
