(Don’t look into his eyes. He’ll hypnotize you like he did the Black House guys.)
Well, Steven Seagal made it out to the festivities Saturday night in Denver and it’s beginning to seem like either he’s some kind of mixed martial arts guru or he’s a senile old man who is way out of touch with reality. My bet’s on the latter.
Our friends Karyn Bryant from MMA H.E.A.T. and Ariel Helwani from MMAFighting caught up with Sensei Seagal before and after the event, respectively, and let’s just say old cockpuncher had a few yarns to spin.
Check out the videos and the bullet points of the world according to The Glimmer Man:

• Seagal counts Jones as a friend and refers to him as “Mr. Jon”
• He claimed that he was going to have some words of advice for Jones in his dressing room prior to the bout, but according to Jones at the post-fight presser, he turned down the offer
• He refers to Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva as his “people” and his “sons” and “children”
• He said that Jones might use the front kick he taught Anderson and Lyoto, but later said he didn’t do it right because he hasn’t learned the deadly move yet
• He predicted that the fight would be decided on the ground by Jones by elbows
• He says Anderson wants to be a cop when he retires and that he may do so with him in Arizona

• According to a Tweet by Ariel Saturday night, Seagal told his cameraman what angle to shoot him at
• In spite of the fact that he said earlier that Jones’ elbows would likely finish the fight, he later claims that he called the submission win because he “has a pretty good eye”
• He says Jones has “tremendous potential,” but has a lot to learn
• He was more impressed by Rampage’s head movement than Jones performance and thinks that if Quinton let his hands go he could have won the fight
• In spite of Jones performance, he feels he had “an off night” and “wasn’t himself”
• Though he said before the bout that he and Jones are friends, after the fight and the dressing room snub, he tells Ariel they “Bones” is “a kind of a friend”
• Says that Anderson’s fight with Okami was exactly as he told him it would be
• Claims he hasn’t been wrong yet in predicting the outcome of a bout
• He’s “high on the truth,” which must mean he’s sober 99.9% of the time
• He was unimpressed by the majority of the performances Saturday night and says it’s bullshit that guys complain that they were affected by the altitude, whereupon he started wheezing from the long sentence he just delivered
• Scoffs at the insinuation that Joe Rogan knows what he’s talking about when it comes to MMA
• Claims that he’s an expert on fighting because he’s a fighter who has fought his whole life, but forgot to mention that it was in martial arts competition and movies
• When talking about Jones’ so-called off night, he left Ariel speechless with the following rant: “It’s tough man. This is a tough world. You’ve got to be on. When you get in that ring, you’ve got to be on. We’re all human. We all have off nights and off times. You understand?”
Yep Rwilson, he is going to take out the bouncing rabbit at station two with a front kick!!!!
