UFC 129 Results: Is Steven Segal MMA's Best Kept Secret? | Bleacher Report

Segal made his first UFC appearance in the corner of UFC middleweight champion, Anderson “The Spider” Silva at UFC 126.

Silva says that he had been working with Seagal and that he [Seagal] helped him perfect the front kick that caught put Vitor Belfort square on the chin and dropped him flat on his face.

It’s no secret that Machida and Silva are fellow Black House training partners so, it only make sense that Silva would pass his knowledge to Machida.

What is surprising is that both fighters used a different adaptation of the same kick to KO serious competitors after training with Sensi Seagal.

For those of you who don’t know, Seagal is more than just an overweight action star. His martial arts are 100% legit and have been verified by international martial arts federations and journalists alike.

so when are we going to see Van Dam, and chuck Norris in MMA fighters corners?

stupid article. It's the kick, but nothing to do with Segal. The way the kick is thrown, it's designed to be quick, you don't see it until it's already half way up, and it's designed to split through an opponents high guard. IT's a very effective kick, but it's also quite rare. The more it's thrown the sooner it'll be figured out and avoided, just like Chucks overhand right. That one move dominated for a long time because it was unorthodox, now everyone uses it and it rarely finishes a fight anymore.

Black House is trolling the MMA community with this Segal stuff. Articles like this do nothing but feed the trolls.

Ok here we go again with this BS.
Maybe Seagal did help, but I am not convinced and will never be that he an important reason of the last performances of Machida and Anderson. He may be an expert in Aikido and all that flashy stuff that works only in the Dojos against guys that do absolutely nothing to defend themselves but no way we can consider him a "Best kept secret".
