Brazil Report: Seagal training was a publicity stunt

[maartenjackie]

The approach between the two was actually a marketing maneuver planned by the agent of Anderson, Jorge Joinha, to give more visibility to it's champion in the American media. The plan worked very well in the first stage, the problem was in the wrong dose and reached the absurdity of assigning a brilliant victory by the biggest name in the MMA of all time to a "Master of Hollywood" who never climbed in the ring. The worst of all is that Seagal, perhaps influenced by some of his films, believed and even stated in several interviews after the fight that "He (Anderson) did everything the way i taught him and made me very proud". For God's sake..."

Dus allemaal nep haha

Is dit een feit?

[Baske]

Waar heb je dit vandaan gehaald? Vraag me af waarom dit nu gelekt wordt en waarom ´t niet gewoon geheim gehouden wordt.

[Gilaiir]

als dit echt is... dan is seagal echt een baas.

In ruil voor een kilo coke en een gele bril + bandana! Perfecte deal

Is dit een feit?

Lijkt mij wel, was dit nou een of andere geheime techniek? Je ziet in andere wedstrijden Anderson deze trap wel vaker gebruiken, is toch "gewoon" een frontkick .. beetje geluk dat belfort hier meteen door is gaan zitten.

Watching Anderson Silva’s front kick knockout of Vitor Belfort at UFC 126 almost made my head explode.
He’s by far the most versatile and unpredictable striker in MMA history, proven by knocking opponents out with different weapons, such as:

• Forrest Griffin by straight right punch from his pocket while backpedaling
• Chris Leben setup by straight punches and finished with a knee
• Rich Franklin twice predominantly by knees in the clinch
• James Irvin by straight right after catching a right kick from Irvin
• Nate Marquardt by right hands while Nate was on the ground on his back

OK so maybe looking at that it looks like Silva definitely likes his straight right hand.
But still, the various circumstances and situations in which he uses all of his weapons is unparalleled in the sport, not to mention his ability to evade strikes through matrix-like head and body movement.
Knowing that the front kick is going to be the talk of the MMA universe, I figured I’d take a closer look into Silva’s technique on a biomechanical level.
Once that thought entered my mind, I figured this might be a pretty cool regular feature (let me know if you like it in the Comments section).
So in today’s BIOMECH Breakdown, we’re going to examine the biomechanics of the front kick and what you need to train to develop knockout power with this vicious weapon.
