Interesting news.
I have no reason to dislike the guy, and he seems genuine in his pursuit to redeem himself to his fans and the children who idolized him.
Good luck to him.

Jesus. Hes too old. Even 5 years ago, when he was 45 (which is still too old), id have been more interested.

I think this is the reason he turned down The Expendables, Stallone said he was in Thailand at the time which is most likely where he's training.

few tidbits:
Van Damme was a national Kickboxing champion with a record of 20-1, with all of those wins ending via knockout.
Van Damme's last professional bout was in 1982
Jean-Claude Van Damme has officially signed the paperwork to compete in a K-1 rules fight against Somluck Kamsing on April 2011 in Russia.

An almost 30 year lay off... Wow. It does make me wonder if K1 or some MMA company had taken off in the 80s, would he have went that route instead of film? I hope not. While most of his films are bad... I don't want to live in a world without Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Cyborg, and Time Cop... In fact, I want to watch Bloodsport now. But my girlfriend is watching Bad Girls Club... Stupid not having two TVs. |

An almost 30 year lay off... Wow. Yea but he's been a martial artist in most of his films and in real life that whole time. Now I'm reading reports that the fight will be in Las Vegas. By the way guys its not gonna be an 'MMA' fight but full on Muay Thai with boxing gloves. |

He's only doing it because K1 hired goons to hold his daughter hostage until he agreed.
