I think we're all just deeply suspicious that a guy like Steven Seagal
actually has anything useful to teach a guy like Anderson Silva. I
know that's my reason for, um, confusion at this point I guess. My
*assumption* has been that Anderson Silva has more practical MMA
knowledge than Seagal does, and I have a hard time figuring out what
practical advice/training/techniques a guy like Seagal could be
teaching a guy like Silva. Clearly Silva sees it differently, and he's
the only one that matters!
