I've got nothing against Steven Seagal, but I feel that there are definitely better coaches for high level mma. That said, I'd love it if more fighters trained with old school action heroes.
I heard that Randy Couture has been training with Blanka.

If we are training with old school action heroes, then I want to train with Wong Fei Hung.
If Lyoto is going to have Steven Segal in his corner, then Randy should have Chuck Norris in his corner. Then he doesn't even have to fight. Those are the rules.
impure resurrection to bring back bruce lee and have him corner gsp. Anyone who gets that reference is cool in my book
I have one question from a logic point of view. If Steven Segal is so bad and this is all a publicity stunt for him, then why do Silva and Lyoto carry him around? If they did not want him there, then he would not be there, there is no way he can force his way in to the videos or the weigh ins. So there are 2 possibilities.
One- Lyoto and Silva truly benefit from Segals teachings, mentally and physically so they want to keep him around.
Two- Segal, just like Vandamme, was a much larger celebrity in 3rd world countries ( not just Brazil there are many around), that Lyoto and Silva feel like they benefit from his presence in ways such as becoming more relevant and earning more American fans.
In the end truly a fighter is only as good as how many fans he has.
So which one?

guess what guys, other martial artists besides for MMA fighters and trainers can help you improve as a fighter too. Just look at Joe Rogan. He taught GSP how to throw a better spinning back kick. Fucking GSP.
look just because he's been in a few movies doesn't discredit him as a martial artist. He's a fucking 7th degree black belt in Akido. That's his whole LIFE of dedication. This usually means he knows a thing or two about martial arts.
And don't go around saying akido isn't a legitimate MA, it's a joke, bla bla. It has many applications in fighting. Roy Dean even uses some akido techniques in his jui jitsu.
And yes, segal is a media whore. But guess what, he didn't go around boasting that he showed silva the front kick, as some of you make it sound. SILVA was the one who gave him credit. So let him have it.
