| "What kind of babbling bullshit is this?" |
So with that in mind we will continue our coverage.
So, we found an article on Guyism.com through Bleacher Report, which had an interesting video in it that they in turn got from CagePotato.com which in turn got it from some Brazilian website (what a complicated web we weave). That article, found here, quoted Seagal as telling Lyoto Machida to, "use your mind, I don’t care if you kill him. I don’t care. You f%&k him up. You take him out."
We find two things interesting about this. First the note of incredulity that seems prevalent that Seagal would say something so serious. Well, gee, ladies and gentlemen what did you think you were going to get from a self-defense specialist? Did you think that Aikido was all love and kisses? They don't teach aikidoka how to snap bones for nothing.
He doesn't play sports, he plays kill or be killed.
Second, the quote is said to Machida while Seagal is demonstrating that Machida is only kicking and punching the surface of his target, rather then striking through his target. This is interesting as it begins to give us an insight into how Seagal might be helping Team Black House with their training. Machida has often been criticized for his lack of aggression, until the Couture fight, and it would seem that this is something that Seagal is having him work on. Which while good for the fans it spells trouble for anyone who volunteers to spar with the former champ.
Well damn. Since this video was taken before UFC 129 it looks like we at Fan Fight called it. Seagal IS helping Team Black House. Oh no...Wait...Yeah, we said "maybe" didn't we? Damn. Well maybe next time we will manage to call it.
