Thats like I thought....I am all for slating Seagal if he acts like a dick but in this instance i thought it was a response to MJW acting like a dick(lets not forget MJW said he would beat Bruce Lee)

Exactly, Michael Jai White siad he would beat Bruce Lee because he´s bigger than him(more weight etc). That´s all entertainment. How can you say that?
Bruce Lee is dead. It´s the same with who is better in boxing: Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson?
We´ll never find out. You can only guess.

For 30 years people are discussing whether Bruce Lee would beat Chuck Norris in a real fight. Let´s not forget that Chuck Norris was the best fighter of his era but he only fought on points. Norris never fought full-contact because it wasn´t around when Chuck was fighting.

Seems like it!

I noticed that Daniel Zirilli deleted his post on Facebook announcing Michael Jai White, but the pictures are still there.

Seagal and Jai White will likely have no scenes together, but they're the two big names they have, despite other people playing the leads.

I don't expect a lot of screen time from either of them, considering they've been filming for a while now without them.

MJW is in Thailand to direct and star in Never Back Down 3 with Tony Jaa, so seems like he was a last minute hire since he was already there and didn't need to be flown in or anything. Might be just a 1-2 day quick role.

Seems like Seagal only filmed for a couple of days. The same for MJW probably.

Well at least he isn't wearing tactical gear in this one.

Just finished shooting a fight scene with Steven Seagal and another MMA fight in a cage. The 'The Asian Connection' is wrapped as it was the final day.It was great experience and Steven Seagal was to be honest fantastic to work with. Now preparing for a fight scene with David Belle (District B-13). Heres a picture of the team after wrapping the movie !

I't's a wrap. Sure Steven filmed for a couple of days so it must be an extended cameo or something.
