I feel like this was really a long time coming, but the whole “Sensei Seagal” thing is just out of control. For a while Steven Seagal was being strutted around the UFC as if he were somehow providing actual services or advice to high level fighters like Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida and it was ridiculous. Most of us with sense knew that Seagal was not really doing anything of value, he was just a famous actor with a martial arts background who was taking in the attention that UFC fighters were getting.
In this new interview with Anderson Silva he discusses his relationship with Seagal and admits that Seagal really didn’t train with him or teach him anything, that it was, as we thought, just a PR stunt.
