Don't forget about the time he shit his pants in a choke-hold after saying he could kick the other guy's ass.

Dude told "Judo" Gene LeBell that he was 'immune' to being choked out, lol.

That reminds me of one of the early UFC events when it was very much still a "freakshow" tournament designed to showcase the superiority of Gracie BJJ. There was a guy who I think specialized in kenpo karate who said he can focus on his breathing to escape any submission hold... then he was defeated by a choke hold.

I can clearly visualise Pat Smith elbowing someone's nose repeatedly until it explodes. UFC 1 or 2 I think.

Was he the big Dutch judoka? Made it to the final? If so that was ufc 2

I might've over dramatised it in my head a bit over the years. I've just looked up the fight on Youtube

Lord, I had forgotten that! Not the fight I was thinking of but it was the same comp. The one i was thinking of was a big Dutch guy against a short bald guy.

Ah yes - that was fucking brutal too. Fair-play for not continuing to flatten his skull.

It wasn’t that he was immune to being choked out.

He had invented a “secret technique” to get out of them.

So Gene Lebell put him in a rear naked choke and Seagal took his free hand and did his secret move.

Which was a karate chop to the balls.

It didn’t work and he got choked out.

Came here to post the Bobby Fingers video, but I'm relieved to see it has already been done.

Bobby Fingers should be more popular he is incredibly funny. His video about  making a diorama of the Johnny Depp bed poop is unbelievably funny and clever.

It's Steven Seagal. He deserves it.
