Today we’ll see what happens if Jean-Claude Van Damme takes on Steven Seagal.
The Case For Van Damme:
Once upon a time, Jean-Claude Van Damme had many serious personal and professional problems, but he could overcome it all the difficulties and move forward. He could excel in martial arts, he is also a very, very good fighter. Movies like Bloodsport and Cop focused his considerable talents on popularizing roundhouse kicks and crotch kicks as means of killing enemies, he was a black belt karateka and a well-known athlete in semi-contact karate and full-contact kickboxing.
He also has a background in ballet, which came in handy when he regularly performed moves that could stretch large parts of the average man’s body. Along with all this, he was also involved in bodybuilding and received the title “Mr. Belgium”.If Van Damme has a flaw in this matchup it’s his small size and comparatively lithe build and Celebheights puts his peak height at somewhere in the 5ft 9in region and if you combine that with his toned, stretchy body he works. in a completely different weight class than Steven Seagal.
The Case For Seagal:
Steven Seagal has a lot of weapons. He has a black belt in no less than four martial arts – karate, kendo, judo and, of course, aikido.for the purposes of this battle, it seems that Segal has some advantage. Celebheights assures us that his peak height is around 6ft 4in and when you combine that with his…sturdy build, he does have a significant height advantage over Jean-Claude Van Damme. Also, although they are both black karatekas. belts, Seagal also boasts several others. Also, judging by his aikido from the movies, he can smash guys the size of Van Damme to pieces with a lazy flick of the wrist. Surely it’s done?RELATED:
What Really Happened to Steven Seagal
Sylvester Stalone’s Opinion:
In 2006, in an interview with Ain’t It Cool News, Stallone answered questions from his fans, and a dude named Craig Farkas asked him why a mega movie starring all the great action stars of the 1980s had not yet been made. Stallone, who of course brought this fantasy to life in The Expendables, confirmed Farkas’s suspicions that everyone in the scene had pretty inflated egos that made working together downright impossible at the time.Then Stallone shared a tidbit, telling the story of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. According to Stallone, it was 1996 or 1997 and he was throwing a wild party with a lot of stars. Two of these people turned out to be Van Damme and Seagal, and Van Damme turned out to be completely and completely done with Seagal. What happened next was… quite surprising, to be honest.
And Who Is More Likely To Win?
Apparently, Sylvester Stallone’s party in the late 1990s had an accident when Jean-Claude Van Damme got really tired of Steven Seagal, who reportedly went around saying he could beat Van Damme. Stallone unambiguously describes the tender relationship between the two. “[Van Damme] walked right up to [Segal] and suggested that he go outside so he could mop the floor with it.” In response, Segal … apologized and left from there. However, “Van Damme, who was completely furious, tracked him down and again offered him a fight, and again Segal refused and did not want to fight,” Stallone describes the events.
Well, this round goes to Van Damme. But what would happen if they really threw up their hands? Nothing good, according to Stallone, at least not for Segal. “Who will win? I have to say, I think Van Damme was too strong and Seagal didn’t want to be involved. This is just my opinion.”
Of course, this is just Stallone’s opinion. However, assuming these events happened as described, is there anyone you would trust to referee a fight between Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal more than Sylvester Stallone? Yes, let’s just say Van Damme takes it.
