If Hollywood has taught us anything, it better be to stay as humanly far away as possible from Jean-Claude Van Damme’s kicks. Apparently, the Hollywood action star went in a little too hard at a gym session, and Cody Garbrandt had to take the brunt of it. ‘No Love’ was not at all smiling about it. Recently, UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal gave his reaction.

“It’s the one he always does. He brings his foot up real quick then brings it down; a hook kind of.” You can call that move the Jean-Claude Van Damme hook kick. It’s honestly amazing how his leg just sticks in the air.

Looking at it, Cody Garbrandt thought, ‘Glad he’s not doing that to me’, but it was too soon as then Van Damme wanted to show him a special kick.

He added, “I was like ‘What the hell?’ Then he f*****g kicked me with that hook kick right in the teeth and I was like ‘m*********r.’ I was pissed, I was so mad. I looked over at Rob, then I looked over at Jean and I was like, ‘Rob, keep this m*********r away from me.’ He kicked me in my teeth, dude.”*

‘No Love’ understandably did not enjoy that and was absolutely fuming upon receiving that kick.

Obviously, Van Damme didn’t intentionally try to hurt Cody, but he just slipped and caught the former Bantamweight champion. Ultimately, the men hugged it out, and there was no bad blood between them because of this minor incident.
