Garbrandt on being kicked by ‘sensitive Hollywood guy’ Van Damme: ‘He just can’t control himself’

Trouble almost went down between former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. It all began during one training session a few weeks before UFC 217 last November, when Van Damme dropped by the Team Alpha Male gym Sacramento to train.

As seen in the video that was released via Instagram early last month, Van Damme was demonstrating a kick on Garbrandt when one of them landed squarely on the face, infuriating “No Love.” Van Damme was extremely apologetic, and the two sides had supposedly buried the hatchet already, but during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Garbrandt still seems to be bothered whenever the incident was brought up.
