It Could Always Be Worse Alert: Steven Seagal’s Energy Drink

With MMA fighters running off to dancing-based reality shows and movie remakes of old TV shows, it’s easy to become discouraged. But don’t worry, because we found something much, much worse: Steven Seagal‘s “Lightning Bolt” energy drink. As you’ll see, it includes flavors like Cherry Charge and Asian Experience. We’ll leave it up to your imaginations to decide what the latter tastes like, but just for fun let’s take a look at the ‘About Steven’ section of the website:

A master of several Japanese martial arts, Steven Seagal is a popular action movie hero whose films combine spiritual concepts and social/environmental consciousness with high-voltage violence.

By spiritual concept and social/environmental consciousness, we assume they’re referring to this. At least MMA fighters aren’t so hard up that they’re resorting to energy drinks…oh, wait:

Skip to 4:25 for the real fun to begin. And by fun we mean pain. Oh well, at least it’s not as bad as a Steven Seagal/”Cops” hybrid reality show. See? It can always get just a little worse than you think is possible.

Steven Seagal and MMA

Steven Seagal had an unusual link to MMA in the early 2010s, when he claimed credit for teaching the front kicks that Anderson Silva used to knock out Vitor Belfort and Lyoto Machida used to finish Randy Couture in 2011. Fans were sceptical, but the claims kept him in the conversation.
