Van Damme wants a real fight

[Hector]

This would be a kickboxing match.

His proposed opponent is former Olympian Somluck Kamsing...

Aging action star Van Damme, 49, still wants a pro fight - Cagewriter - UFC Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Mmm...Van Damme is 49...his opponent is 35.

Somluck Kamsing is a Thai fighter...he competed as an amateur boxer at the 1996 Olympics...and won a Gold medal in the 126 pound class (featherweight). He's been in movies as well, especially with Jet Li.

Van Damme would have the size advantage.

However...the Nevada State Athletic Commission does not want to approve this fight due to Van Damme's age....and the nature of his opponent...an actual Gold medalist.

Has Van Damme finally lost it?

Or does he know something we don't know?

Van Damme (still in great shape):

Thoughts?

He'll get killed.

Tom Savini is still in great shape at sixty something but I wouldnt trust that flake to tie my shoes.

I smell midlife crisis.

Lets make it a little better Segal vs Van damme.
Segal is a little older and a bit chunkier but I think he would still rip JCVD arms off.
So what chance does he think he has against that kid?

Has Van Damme finally lost it?

Did he ever have it?

[Gorn Captain]

If J.C. wears his glasses, the other guy won't dare hit him....

[Meule]

Just let him fight, we may finally get rid of him... permanently

Chuck Norris could beat them both....and he's 87 years old.

Anybody remember February 4th 1998...LOL
Van damme got knocked out by Mickey rourkes body guard chuck zito...LOL
As if he even stands a chance anymore.

Sounds crazy to try to compete with someone who was on the Olympic level as an athlete. I still wondering if Herschel Walker will survive his first venture into MMA this Saturday.
