He is being very gracious here. Van Damme had 18 real professional kickboxing fights. Won 17 of them, most with early knockouts and the single one he lost was disqualification.
Seagal is a “dancer”. A big guy, who invents a story about his magical moves, claims he can’t really fight anyone because he is super-duper deadly, but never got into the ring.
Segal is a very big Akido fighter. A disipline no real MMA fighter uses. Jkv is a traditional karate fighter. It is incorporated by many MMA fighters, especially Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. While neither are world class, in their prime JKV would have destroyed Segal despite the size difference.
Reminds me of what happened to me a long time ago in a boy-scout camp. The other kid claimed to be a super-duper fighter, HE WANTED to fight and I was a (humbly saying) very competent judo kid and agreed.
He then made a whole long speech about how he knows secret killing moves, that he can’t use because his trainer would get mad.
I fought him and beat him and it wasn’t easy. He was good enough to beat 8 out of 10 in our age group.
“Bullies are weak” is not correct. Bullies are just strong enough to beat most and then adding a lot of bullshit to intimidate is more accurate.

Old joke: Steven Seagal knows kung fu, karate, tae kwon do, and a lot of other foreign words.
Who could stand against sensei Seagal’s deadly Dim Mak and Cheese moves?
