Steven Seagal's Ascent as MMA Trainer: Should Greg Jackson jump for joy?

Steven Seagal is not one to rest on his almost US$775,000,000.00 lifetime box office laurels, as proven by his incursion into training teammates Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida how to, ahem, kick lethally. (There would be no mention here on the exact kind of KO kick that the Black House fighters successfully executed as you must know it by now...Ok, for the less informed, it can be referenced from part one of a 1980s teen martial arts flick. Or from an aviary.)
Is Steven Seagal the Best Kept Secret in MMA?
The phenomenon that is Steven Seagal has now extended from the silver screen to the eight-sided cage.
A black belt in Aikido, Seagal has parlayed his extensive career in the martial art into a memorable movie career where Seagal has become one of the more notable figures in the action/thriller genre.
Films such as Above the Law, Hard to Kill and Under Siege have helped anchor his legend, but now Seagal has found a second life in the world of mixed martial arts.
Recently, the master of “the way of unifying life energy” has been seen alongside notables in former champion Lyoto Machida and current pound-for-pound great Anderson Silva, taking a considerable amount of credit for their impressive performances against Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort, respectively.
In those bouts, the Brazilians had performed incredible feats of action when they pulled off front head-kick knockouts over their accomplished opposition—to which Seagal was proud to say, “Yeah, I taught them that.”
Seagal has also made efforts to cozy up next to other big names such as reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who deferred to work with the obvious MMA talent, questioning Seagal’s motives and for good reason.
While his accolades as an Aikido expert and movie star precede him, Seagal is now prominent figure in the mixed martial arts world. The legendary Bas Rutten has vehemently worked to debunk the Seagal movement in MMA.
“I don’t think he’s teaching anything to the likes of Silva and Machida,” said Rutten while speaking with MMADieHards.com.

•Steven Seagal holding a weapon
Ever since we made that gallery of all of Steven Seagal’s posters and movie taglines, we’ve been trying to come up with the perfect graphic illustration of the archetypal Steven Seagal plot. For instance, we discovered that the perfect Seagal movie poster has:
Reader Charlie recently emailed the frotcast after having put all of Steven Seagal’s movie titles into a word-cloud creator (you can see that below). I thought that was a great idea, so I extended it from just title to title, tagline, and synopsis. That’s the one above. There are a few glitches (don’t ask me why there are two “kills”, or why it counted “es” as a word), but I think it’s pretty clear that Steven Seagal likes to play an UNDERCOVER MILITARY AGENT named JOHN who likes to KILL CHINESE people.
As someone on Twitter points out: “This would make a great set of fridge magnets.”
- (usually a pistol) with a dumb look on his face
- Three-word title (Out for Justice, Marked for Death, Above the Law, etc.)
- Awesome tagline (“They started this… he’ll finish it.)
- Burning foreign city in the background
