Story from Joe Rogan about Gene Lebell putting Steven Seagal to sleep:
Ronda Rousey on Lebell:
If you have
something negative to say about "Judo" Gene LeBell, make sure you don't say it
in front of Strikeforce Women's
Bantamweight Champion Ronda
Rousey.
Especially
if your name is Steven Seagal.
The Aikido
master denied a 2002 report that he was put to sleep by the longtime
stuntman and champion martial artist, who allegedly made Seagal empty his
bowels on the way out. He referred to LeBell as a "pathological scumbag liar"
who's possibly "demented."
In a recent
sit-down with MMA Interviews, Rousey blasts Seagal for not having "a very
good track record."
If he says anything bad about Gene to my face, I'd have to make him crap his pants a second time. Obviously, the guy's a liar. He told everybody he taught Anderson Silva that kick. I mean, seriously, the guy doesn't have a very good track record. He's Aikido. I mean, Aikido's cool, but who in MMA does Aikido? Who has an Aikido background? 'So and so coming to the cage is a world champion with a background in Aikido.' You never heard that once. Have you heard that once? That's for a reason. It's because Gene LeBell would destroy Steven Seagal again, even as old as they are now. If they had like a super master-master division, Gene would still throw it down, man. I'd still put my money on him to this day."
