The Olympian took to Twitter and provided fans with some insight as to the viability of the techniques in question. He revealed that he had used the moves to great effect on high profile UFC athletes during training. Fight fans were amused, to say the least, when they came across the archived footage.

Additionally, famed MMA coach John Kavanagh hilariously chimed in on the situation that had grabbed everyone’s attention. The incident sticks out in particular for the over-the-top and ominous phrasing seen in the video. Seagal has most famously claimed to be the one to wrangle Anderson Silva to utilize the front ‘crane kick’ in MMA.

UFC 252: Daniel Cormier x Stipe Miocic
Stipe Miocic will defend his heavyweight strap against arch-rival Daniel Cormier in a headlining feature bout. DC looks to ride off into the sunset with an emphatic victory on August 15 and further bolster his legacy. Prior to his meeting with the Croatian-American, Cormier was undefeated at Heavyweight.
Chiefly, the winner of the fight will stake their claim as the best heavyweight the promotion has ever seen. Fans of the sport are keen to watch the stylistic elements of the match-up play out between the high-level fighters. Additionally, the fighter capable of making the right adjustment will walk away with the gold strap.
The previous outings ended with spectacular finishes for both fighters and they will be looking to settle the rivalry. Moreover, their once amicable relationship has dissipated over the years as an intense competitive rivalry began to brew. Their rivalry in the sport will go down as one of the most iconic, simply based on the high stakes nature of their scheduled bouts.
The AKA Team captain will look to seal off his storied MMA career and walk away with yet another championship belt. The MMA community is champing at the bit to finally see a book-end conclusion to one of the most high profile trilogy match-ups in UFC history.
