Schooled and Respect paid!
I'm not Master Seagal's biggest fan but he is a dangerous unit!

no doubt diego's staredown.

i can't imagine hanging out with him, it would be like waiting for a bomb to go off.

Silva had used the same kick years ago against henderson

LAS VEGAS – By most accounts, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is at least the best 185-pound fighter in modern MMA history, if not simply the greatest fighter of any weight class.

But as it is with any MMA champion, Silva relies on a team of coaches and training partners to hone wis weapons and prep him for success in the octagon.

However, unlike most MMA champions, Silva credits 58-year-old actor and lifelong MMA enthusiast Steven Seagal for his latest UFC win. (Yes, really.)

"As far as the kick goes, the last time I did my training camp here, I was training at Black House with Steven Seagal, and he helped me a lot with that kick," Silva said through his interpreter and manager, Ed Soares. "He perfected it. I did that kick for a long time, and he actually helped me perfect it."
"The kick," of course, refers to the devastating front kick that Silva (28-4 MMA, 13-0 UFC) used to floor Vitor Belfort (19-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in the opening round of their UFC 126 main-event contest, which airs live on pay-per-view from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Two short punches followed to a downed Belfort, but the result was already sealed by the initial snapping blow.

"The kick" earned Silva his UFC-record 13th consecutive octagon win, as well as an incomprehensible eighth-straight defense of his title.

And if you think Silva's quote is just another joke from the often-playful middleweight champ, think again. Silva said Seagal, a member of the champion's entourage for UFC 126, helped him even on fight night.

"That was a thing we were working on right before I stepped out," Silva said. "Even there, Steven kind of corrected me on a few things."

Wherever it's coming from, the techniques certainly are working.

"I train this kick a lot," Machida said. "I've had it in my arsenal, and I just had to wait for the right moment to pull the trigger and utilize it. The technique itself [Silva and I have] both known for a long time. But I definitely think Steven Seagal being involved and influencing us and helping us perfect the kick definitely made a difference.

"[Seagal] always reinforced that to me – to try that kick. 'That kick will land, and it will work.' I definitely give credit to him for helping me perfect that kick."
