Immediately after Anderson Silva knocked Vitor Belfort into bolivian with a front kick, Steven Seagal was interviewed by Ariel Helwani, and took credit:

“Right before he walked out, I said, ‘Stay away from him for the first two or three minutes. Just kind of get him frustrated and then fake low and come high and do that kick that I’ve been teaching you and kick him in the head or the face.’ He did exactly what I said and exactly what I wanted to happen, happened, and I was very proud of him.”

The MMA world issued a collective “WAT?” and tried to determine whether or not it was a high level troll, or if Steven Seagal really believed he had developed a secret kick, or, if Silva was playing along with Seagal to be nice, or, maybe, if Silva actually learned a secret Aikido kick and used it to stop Belfort for the first time in The Phenom’s career.
