"In one of the biggest fights of his illustrious career, UFC middleweight Anderson Silva dug deep into his bag of tricks and unleashed the most devastating front kick in MMA history. On the wrong end of the highlight-reel strike was Vitor Belfort's face, and it appears he can thank Steven Seagal for it.
The actor who starred in martial arts classics like "Above the Law", "Under Siege" and "Out for Justice", is the man responsible for schooling "The Spider" in the art of the front kick.
"Steven Seagal helped me perfect that kick. That was a kick we were working on before." Silva said at the UFC 126 post-fight press conference.
Seagal is currently a 7th degree black-belt and Shihan in Aikido. The 58-year-old moved to Japan in his late teens and became the first foreigner to operate an Aikido dojo in Japan."
