Jean Claude Van Damme Returns To Kickboxing
All, Athletes and Celebrities, MMA November 17th. 2010, 6:00pm
Jean Claude Van Damme is returning to kickboxing after nearly 29 years away from the sport. The 49-year-old Van Damme has signed on to fight Somluck Kamsing in a K-1 rules match in April 2011 in Las Vegas. Van Damme ran up an impressive 20-2 professional record before turning to acting and, of course, dancing way back in the early 1980′s. [Middle Easy]

You. Are. Next.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:03 PM
Go for the gut. He’s soft there.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:04 PM
Nothing was better than when they killed Van Damme off screen and replaced him with Uncle Cody from that Patrick Duffy/Suzanne Sommers show.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:04 PM
And Chong Li?
November 17th, 2010 at 6:06 PM
how the fuck is he only 49
November 17th, 2010 at 6:06 PM
thought he was 50 about 20 years ago
November 17th, 2010 at 6:06 PM
step by step!

I believe his first “major” American movie was Cyborg, came out in like 1987. His voice may or may not have been dubbed. He was like the Gayle Sayers of B-action movies. He had a short window, but it was glorious. I think Timecop was his only ever number one debut, and it may not have opened at bigger than like $12 mil. That two-timing bitch from ER got got.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:10 PM
DOuble Impact was his best movie andthe first movie I ever saw titties in. Bloodsport of course is my favorite.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:11 PM
better be
November 17th, 2010 at 6:11 PM
Roll the dice and we crush. Crush. Crush ‘em.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:11 PM
Don’t forget his short stint in rock and roll.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:12 PM
The best part of Step By Step was when the guy who played Cody was arrested for beating his wife and throwing her into a fire place. In real life.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Timecop has to be Ron Silver’s finest hour and a half.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Van Damme looks damn brittle. Be careful old man.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:12 PM
I thought his brother in that movie was really another actor
November 17th, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Just to illustrate how far Mickey Rourke had sunk at one point, he was fighting JCVD and Dennis Rodman in a bull fighting arena during the climax of a film.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:13 PM
Lol gsg
November 17th, 2010 at 6:14 PM
Holy shit, Van Damme was an extra in Breakin’!
November 17th, 2010 at 6:15 PM
And he played the pivotal role of “gay karate man” in Monaco Forever, his on-screen debut!
November 17th, 2010 at 6:15 PM
1. Bloodsport
2. Cyborg
3. Universal Soldier
4. Double Impact
5. Kickboxer
November 17th, 2010 at 6:15 PM
hes 39 years old
November 17th, 2010 at 6:15 PM
Sanders – you know you’re big in Hollywood when you can demand a talking parrot in a blockbuster movie franchise otherwise you’re not in, and the film allows it.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:16 PM
One packs a punch.
One packs a piece.
Together they deliver!
November 17th, 2010 at 6:16 PM
Nobody loved the dual roles via CGI more than Van Damme.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:17 PM
Penguin fans pray that he can complete the sequel to Sudden Death.

No love for Hard Target, where JCVD and the Quaker Oats guy rebuilt New Orleans before passing Drew Brees the torch?
November 17th, 2010 at 6:18 PM
No love for Hard Target
It insists upon itself.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Powers Boothe and the guy who played the VP in that movie were also both in Rapid Fire. Only the VP got got because he double crossed the Italian bad guy, after Brandon Lee took out about 40 guys with no gun.

personal favorite JCVD: the biggest fight of his life
November 17th, 2010 at 6:21 PM
VERY, VERY, NSFW Why the hell not?

If Florio did a little bit of digging, he would have saved himself from looking really stupid.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:23 PM
Those pics are faaaaaaaantaaaaasstiiic
November 17th, 2010 at 6:24 PM
Who is in that pic? I can’t check here at work.

Not going to ask why, but just thanks.

Steve Nash might not be available for the game tonight against Miami. So much for that.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:36 PM
Everytime I see Iceberg at a game. I keep thinking he, I mean she, is going to die in a dishwasher during intermission.
Oh and The Quest deserves some love. James Renar, Roger Moore, and Van Damme is a solid trio. I hated that Mongolian fighter when I was younger.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Bloodsport is where i saw my first titties. They were a bit saggy, and on a chinaman, but still.
Prop bet this fight needs: Will JCVD’s forehead goose-egg get popped, and what does it contain?
November 17th, 2010 at 7:09 PM
I have absolutely no idea what prompted this, but alright.
