Jean Claude Van Damme Returns to The Ring in Real MMA fight

[Marblehead]

Yeah, life isn't always easy once one becomes a public figure.

A Las Vegas show fight, not in UFC or Pride or anything like that. Reminds me of when Mohammad Ali fought the wrestler Antonio Inoki in Japan.

I wonder if he will finally show us the Dim Mak?

For sure he will show us how he can do the splits.

Hope he's been sparring.. Love Lion Heart, and Blood sport.

 

Also hopes if he roundhouses he kicks with his heels and not his toes like in the movies haha.

On a trip to Bangkok last year, I saw Van Damme because he was staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where my gf and I were also staying. Word was he was in Thailand training with a local martial arts master, getting ready for an upcoming fight. So, I figured he was taking his training seriously.

 

During the two mornings I was there, I saw him when I went down to breakfast, which was served on a outdoor patio on the Chao Phraya River (quite beautiful).

 

Dude looked *very much* in shape. He was alone both days while having his breakfast. No one seemed to recognize him. Likewise, I left him alone. But my gf's niece had her wedding at the Mandarin Oriental during my stay, and the bride did get a pic with him.

 

So, I have to wish him luck!
