Jean-Claude Van Damme shows UFC fighters how to kick
Former action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme is a self-proclaimed huge UFC fan and has taken a liking to guys like Conor McGregor and even trained with the Diaz brothers recently.
But if there's one area the former "Bloodsport" star could see those "amazing UFC fighters" improving, it's their kicks.
Aside from grappling and the ground game, kicking is one of the things that sets MMA apart from the United States' previously most popular combat sport, boxing. But according to Van Damme, MMA fighters haven't scratched the surface on the effectiveness of kicks.
Van Damme even took it a step further, showing the cameraman how to throw a proper kick.
There are a few guys on the UFC roster who have shown to be efficient and effective with their kicks, like Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor, Luke Rockhold, Anthony Pettis and Stephen Thompson. But those attributes drop significantly as you work your way down the roster.
Maybe more guys will take JCVD up on his offer to train, since he's slowly becoming the cooler, more legit version of Steven Seagal.
