There's a long history of the combative relationship between the late Jason David Frank and his former idol Jean-Claude Van Damme. #JasonDavidFrank #JeanClaudeVanDamme #Explained Read Full Article: www.looper.com...
Sad he died due to his ex wife. Jason will always be immortalised from giving us all joy since the 90s. Legend Of The White Dragon is gonna be sad to watch when it comes out 😞 R.I.P JDF 🙏
Man he met his Idol and was let down. He decided he would never be that way to the kids and adults who idolized him as their hero. He was a good man. RIP JDF
Yeah it sucks but Van Damme is human and still a great guy and had his fair share of personal struggles. He even said sometimes he can be difficult with people. He admitted it at least. Things happen. Huge fan of Jason Frank and Van Damme love them both to death!!! I own most of their works on DVD! Wish they could've been best of friends or at least have a student-mentor relationship but it is what it is. Not everyone gets along with one another
His passing hit me hard as he was a huge part of my growing up. I've seen almost all of his online videos and he seemed like such a good guy! I wish he wouldn't have made such a permanent decision over a temporary feeling. Idk what was going on in his life but my prayers are with his family at this time.
It's great to know that the two met. Both are martial arts legends. Would've been cool to see them both in an action movie. I wouldn't even care for the plot, just have them doing mindless action
I actually came up with the concept of The Expendables , it was meant to be Transporter 4 with Statham.I left the idea of good versus bad special forces units on a movie forum a while back ,and someone poached the concept and nicknamed it.
JDF is a true martial artist and a true friend to all of his fans. His inspiration and motivation will live on through us, his fans. Thank you for all you have done for us Hanshi. May the power protect you wherever you may be.
He came to Houston to train in Silverback MMA where Derek Louis began his training. I have a video where he is trying to train my nephew who was 4 yrs old at the time back in 2013. He was so down to earth and admirable. JESUS DIDN'T TAP, so imagine our dismay when JDF tapped. Goes to show that even the biggest heroes can fall prey to the darkness. I don't get bummed out so much when celebrities pass but this one hit me hard. ☹️
@Liv2Grind he got punked by a bouncer 😂🤣. Sure he won fights when he was younger but that doesn't give him a right to be an arrogant @$$hole. Also, chill out. Don't get so booty hurt.
Some people don’t know besides a power ranger Frank is a karate teacher and a mixed martial artists, the man can fight and he was also a very passionate and dedicated man, sad that he passed, can’t imagine the daughter losing a father, Rest In Peace Jason.
I've heard (and saw one twit) both in videos, twitts etc. That she defended her mother which was the bigger cause for his self deletion. Of course there are the simps aka pu$$y sl@ves that defend her but there are a ton of videos and proof you can find online. She also doesn't seem all that heartbroken, not based on on those things that I've mentioned. Hope I am wrong
@@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr well he actually competed in MMA JCVD has never competed in a combat sport to my knowledge. I'd give it to Frank but sadly we will never know.
@@samuelmunoz1464 a google search would tell you JCVD competed in multiple tournaments worldwide and did very well for years. Just like JDF’s record total for MMA can be found which is 5W-0L.
I still can't believe he is not here. Growing up seeing him and everytime seeing him in any new Power Ranger movies. He will forever be in our heart and a legend. RIP
In a weird way it's kinda fitting that people like Jason and Van Damme would have martial arts rivalries, would have been awesome if they released that energy in a fair competition. Either way, I admire how Jason never let things get too ugly and did his best to not hold a grudge.
@@hybridShinx what you clowns talking about. Jason didn't have the balls to go face to face with JCVD when he was younger. Now he wants to fight an old legend, is just disgraceful. Sounds like another Logan and Jake Paul. No respect for someone trying to fight an old man. Let's not forget JCVD had hip surgery.
I hate when a celebrity or anyone passes away for that matter and news outlets like this one start bringing up bad shit. Leave it alone bro. Let the man rest in peace. Goodness 🤦🏽♂️🙄
A friend of mine knew JDF through auditioning for Power Rangers. He tells the story of his rivalry with JDF. He's my buddy but I always say, 🤔You know full well JDF will make you come up out of your Megazord so quit playing 🤣. Rest in peace Jason David Frank, you inspired millions to want to be better
First thing I thought of that they had in common was the spinning kick. JCVD was known for the spinning kick but I think JDF perfected them. You look back, he did those rapid fire.
RIP 🙏🏻gone to soon but never forgotten about always in our hearts 💕 RIP green power ranger gone to soon but never forgotten about always in our hearts every time we watch the films amazing actor 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Jason David Frank
Wow did not know he had an altercation with Van Damme all those years ago it is surprising Van Damme froze up when caught it Says alot his character. That would have been good to see still can not believe he is gone. I would have loved to meet him in a comic con event I grew up watching power rangers. RIP JDF.
I dont know why looper brings up drama. Social media in a nutshell. Jon Claud was a movie hero to me. But he was in no way or shape or form to be a martial artist. He was a gymnasts. Sometimes movies get to these mens head. Silvester Stallone was never a athlete. Jon Claude never competed compactivity. Bruce Lee created a art form but it sucks in MMA. These are movies OK. lol nothing against you but these videos piss me off sometimes.
I think about him and his family everyday. Always remember that Heroes never die. They live on in legend and in not just their careers, but their children too. This man was a hero to so many, and it's sad he's no longer with us. It also sucks that we lost him and Kevin Conroy in the same month. 2 Iconic heroes, going down in legend.
I met JDF when I was 5 years old HD came to a karate place in my hometown owned by Ray Rice. he took a picture with me and for that reason alone I'm taking him over van Damme any day lol
You should look up how many damn male co stars on the power ranger show that JDF has beef with dude... JDF got his own problems too, he aint perfect either, and neither is JCVD dealing with same drug addiction as JDF along with being bibolar of all things.
well both JCVD and JDF are drug addicts. im sure JDF has mental issues too since JCVD is bipolar. You would think JDF would sympathize with JCVD for having bipolar on the day they first met where JCVD was acting douche to JDF.
Jdf called out so many people when he was trying to get into the MMA scene after a while it got annoying. More than likely he would have just been another CM Punk in the UFC . 2-3 fights all losses then out. Pretty sure his official mma record is like 1-0
That was JDF's goal for fabricating this story....to instigate a fight with JCVD but JCVD didnt take the bait. He was really envious of JCVD's 80s/90s fame. VD being "rude" was just an alibi.
Look up the video if you want to see how a fight between the two would go down. JDF controlled him completely, moved him around where and how he wanted, and showed him how easily he could knock him out with just knees to the jaw and chest and JCVD could do nothing but stand there and take it. Zero fight IQ or sense of survival at all. Totally froze up.
He should have realized at the time Van Damme was dealing with addiction and other problems especially with a young upstart with a pretty good skill set sad these two couldn't come to terms a movie with these two would have been worth watching.
@Nobody Special515 Van Damme drug addiction wasn't hidden and the fact that his fame got to his head was also well known all I can say is don't idolize anyone and don't look up to your heroes look at them .
@Nobody Special515 JDF was my hero too man but I'm not delusional enough to believe he was a perfect man and husband bro you need to take a break from media seriously.
@Nobody Special515 bro look it up he got clean after some his cast mates advised him to I have no reason to drag the man or nothing to gain from it and wouldn't be stating anything without facts.
Yo why is JDF going around having so much god damn beef with so many dudes, especially co stars. maybe has something to do with his self deletion or at least part of it.
It’s sad that’s he’s gone but let’s get real. We as a society need to stop glorifying and praising the deaths of those who take their own lives. Childhood hero or not this dude stained his Legacy, Ranger or not.
JCV is an experienced fighter with an arrogant mean streak. He would've fought dirty. And he wouldn't have pulled any punches. That's why he would've never fought Franks in a sanctioned match.
@@alwkicksta If you want to understand. Don't just comment. Watch the video. And then look up JCV kickboxing record. 18-1. All knockouts. I'm not saying JCV would have lost to Frank's in sanchend match. Far from it. I'm saying JCV was a ruthless fighter. He got his 1st acting job by knocking out a guy at the audition. I think he would never hurt his image by publicly knocking out the star of a popular kids show. He would have only taught Frank's a lesson in private.
I just been watching everything JDF got on TH-cam. Thankfully he left a lot of content behind. Especially a movie coming to theaters. Man! He was funny, smart, a great role model, a family man and didn’t take sh!+ from nobody. That JDF v Van Damme video is on TH-cam. That was one of the first things I watched after his passing. Never backed down. Ready to go. Anytime, anywhere. He was the real deal man! “Don’t try to punk me man” frank said to Van Damme! Never forget it. Van Damme is one my favorites and here is the Green Ranger not backing down an inch! Good video bro👏👏👏
JDF was legit a real one, and not afraid, respect. That being said JCVD is 12 years older than him, he's 62 right now... Van Damme in his prime was an absolute beast, he's an old man in that video where he says "Don't try to punk me man", and JDF is in good shape 45 year old guy.. bigger too.. Just pointing out Van Damme wasn't PRIME Van DAmme lol, that would be a much different story if this fight was to go down in the 90's lol. Both legends in my book, and childhood heroes of mine. Sad to see they had beef.. Hope JCVD says something about JDF's passing in respect. Rip Green/White Ranger.
@@randomrecipes5007 Prime Van Damme was a ballet dancer and an actor. He has never been a professional fighter, or done any kind of competitions. Bulky, balled up muscle isn't as advantageous in a fight as non-experienced, non-professional fights might think it is. Tone, definition, cardio, and linear USEABLE muscle is key. Just doing body builder show muscle and expecting to be fast or capable is a mistake that happens a lot to guys who show up to our gym thinking because they love PEDs and 'roids to lift their weights, it makes them untouchable. We always throw them a smaller guy who is toned up and experienced and it always ends the same. Big man gets either knocked out, choked out, or gives up because he's puking his guts out because he's out of breath.
May he rest in peace but not to lie I idolize both Jason David Frank and Jean-Claude Van Damme I would have paid good money to see that go down both are true martial artist and there is no camera work
the final comment about separating the artist from his art i think was when he was talking about recent events with austin st john being arrested (the red ranger). this was in regards to next year’s power rangers anniversary reunion and not jean claude van damme. also van damme was at the red carpet premiere with his kids at the power rangers movie at the mann chinese theater. there was a behind the scenes documentary of the movie mentioning van damme was there because his kids were big fans of them. that is why i find it hard to believe van damme had any beef with jason. they were also fans of the rangers. also i believe david yost was bullied on set and there was an old clip of david frank putting a fly in david yost’s food. and also a brief portion of a behind the scenes where david was pushing jason away from him, almost instinctively. so all i can say is we don’t know jason david frank personally to make hard cut opinions with his personal life, because people are complex and most people are not saints.
Back in the 80's one of the guys from my Kick-Boxing gym who was a legitimate champion met VanDamme. My friend was a nice, humble guy despite his accomplishments in the sport and he rarely had anything bad to say about anyone. However, he said VanDamme was a total dick. Guys like JKVD who've only experienced limited contact in that ridiculous game of tag that they play generally have an inflated sense of themselves...
Van Damme has multiple KO's to his record. So your "tag" stuff is nonsense. Also, JCVD has diagnosed rapid cycling bi-polar disorder. You can you meet him on a day where he's not doing so well. There's also plenty of stories of Van Damme being wonderful with people he's met. So it's not so easy to pigeonhole him.
@@wantutosigh1117 Oh hi super-fan! I don’t know him and I don’t think you do either, but I think his attitude is more of a reflection of his cocaine habit than anything else. Also, do you have any video evidence of the so-called fight record?
Limited contact?? 18-1 in kickboxing is not "limited" contact. Getting knocked on his ass with a hook punch(es) by Sherman "Big Train" Bergman in a kickboxing match in 1980 wasn't JCVD experiencing "limited" contact. He was a full contact fighter. Also, forget that guy's story. It's only coming from him. People make up lies and fabricate all the time to paint who they don't like or jealous/envious of in a bad light. Ive seen it time after time after time...
@@pinkydavis6113 Yes there is, and KO'ing someone is not point fighting. He knocked a lot of people out in the first round, and in one case in under 19 seconds. He was basically the real Frank Dux from Bloodsport, but without the embellishments.
I find it weird that hes a nice guy when he goes around challenging a mentally ill person like JCVD who has bipolar. Yeah he might have been a prick to you Jason one time, but JCVD probly was in bad personality that day. Majority of people who saw and met the normal side of JCVD have said he was a very nice gentleman and welcoming. Maybe Jason has some weird personality trait like inferiority complex or something going around trying to fight people, might have something to do with his guilt making him self delete.
It's Jean* and he had many kickboxing matches and only loss a few due to DQ. JDF and JCVD were both my idols and my fave action stars and as much as i love me some Tommy and Green and white ranger and i know how badass and dangerous he is but Van Damm was a extreme specimen and is that guy
Good video and RIP to JDF. However I want to hear Jean Claude's side of this story. Not that I don't believe Jason but I still want to hear his side of what went down. Just saying.
JCVD spoke of it one brief time in an article shortly after it happened and then moved on with his life. He basically said that a guy (JDF) came at him aggressively out of the blue...he seemed very bewildered about what happened. This whole story/incident was a lie and instigated and fabricated by JDF out of envy.
This is only one side of the story. Van Damme has always come off as a very nice guy and pretty much everyone who met him or worked with him have nothing but good things to say about him. who knows what was going on between the two of them, only they do. not everyone gets along with each other.
Wow. We could have had a Green Ranger vs. Guile match. Jason's background seems a little like Johnny Cage's inspiration on the Mortal Kombat Legacy series online. Johnny Cage is also based off of Van Damn and; while Jason never clashed with Van Dam, Green Ranger did a fan battle against Ryu. I would love to see Jason's character Green Ranger cross over to either Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Tekken would be cool too. Green Ranger would kick EVERYONE'S asses! 🎵Go...Green Ranger...Go! Go! Green Ranger Go!!!🎶 R.I.P Jason. 💚
@@rzxwm10 That's pretty cool. Akuma; I believe, defeated Scorpion. Now I want to see White Ranger fight Akuma. I'm thinking he'd have an easier time than Ryu has all these years.
this is why as fanboys, we should never let our fanboyism be huge whenever we see our idols. Getting to know them personally ain't gonna be cool most of the time. RIP the green ranger.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12
JDF had the beef and envy for JCVD and instigated and fabricated that verbal incident. JCVD barely knew who he was and was caught off guard by his aggression.
@@alwkicksta Yeah.... apprently JDF was throwing around something about the Chuck Zito incident when Zito sucker punched a drunk Van Damme and then ran to the media about it.
Sad to see he passed away. Loved power Rangers. But he would have never beat jcvd in a fight. I seen the comicon video. And he didn't have JC pinned up to a wall. Lots of ppl say things about JCVD but he was a legit fighter and champion
Rest In Peace Jason David Frank.
Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger
Wish yall would let him.
Yes, Rest In Power Jason David Frank😔💐
Sad he died due to his ex wife. Jason will always be immortalised from giving us all joy since the 90s. Legend Of The White Dragon is gonna be sad to watch when it comes out 😞 R.I.P JDF 🙏
Dragon dagger tat coming soon
Man he met his Idol and was let down. He decided he would never be that way to the kids and adults who idolized him as their hero. He was a good man. RIP JDF
Not sure why, but all I think about is Incredible Boy from the Incredibles when he meets his hero Mr.Incredible who let him down.
It really hurt me because they both were my idols
Yeah it sucks but Van Damme is human and still a great guy and had his fair share of personal struggles. He even said sometimes he can be difficult with people. He admitted it at least. Things happen. Huge fan of Jason Frank and Van Damme love them both to death!!! I own most of their works on DVD! Wish they could've been best of friends or at least have a student-mentor relationship but it is what it is. Not everyone gets along with one another
Just found out about his death. And your comment made me 😢😢😢 damn a big part of my childhood died

I wish he wouldn't have made such a permanent decision over a temporary feeling. Idk what was going on in his life but my prayers are with his family at this time.
I think it hit us hard pretty hard a total tear jerker here he meant alot to millions
He was batting demons,sometimes the sins of your past catches up to the current!!!
Same here. I didn’t realize how much he meant to me until he died. He is my childhood hero
@@richshmula7334 What was he dealing with?
“ just because you have a bad day does not mean you have a bad life. “

@@GoldKingsMan if you say so
@@interceptingfist5682 Yea I do
I would pay to see that foreal! Their athleticism, timing, flexibility, speed and strength (especially Van Damme's) is off the charts!!!
JDF is a true martial artist and a true friend to all of his fans. His inspiration and motivation will live on through us, his fans. Thank you for all you have done for us Hanshi. May the power protect you wherever you may be.
Claude made a mistake calling out JDF
He came to Houston to train in Silverback MMA where Derek Louis began his training. I have a video where he is trying to train my nephew who was 4 yrs old at the time back in 2013.

Would have loved to see these two in an Expendables movie
That actually would've cool
Tommy vs Vylain
They could have had many movies together

Basically a prime example of never meeting your childhood idols. You will be disappointed.
90s Van Damme: "I know how to be rude, piss people off, and start drama..."
90s Seagal: "Hold my beer..."
I still can't believe he's gone. I grew up b watching him as the green and white ranger.
May God have mercy on his soul and lead him to paradise
He is loved by a lot of kids and generations, may it take him to pure bliss 🙏🙏🙏

You believe in the afterlife?
nobody will kiddo but keep believing in fairy tales

Lol, the guy was in a delusion. He is acting like Seagal lol which makes his challenge even more hilarious.
Frank sounds like a reasonable guy.
That was my childhood hero….if only I had the chance to shake his hands.
JDF was and will always be a real one. RIP.
Like they say never meet your hero RIP JDF🙏🏼
meet
I’m truly devastated by his loss 😢😭😞😞
Tommy death hit me really hard !!I knew about him before I knew about my self
His role wasnt the sole reason. He was always so upbeat and had a very positive message, and so his death and the reason was shocking to say the least
He was not always upbeat. He had a temper and carried a grudge against Austin St John for decades. He clearly had an ego.
Another one of my childhood is gone but not forgotten rip🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Jason David Frank
As martial arts go. Was LEGIT
JVC is the Rick James of action movies. He’s mad Belgiumish and a habitual line stepper. >_
well both JCVD and JDF are drug addicts. im sure JDF has mental issues too since JCVD is bipolar. You would think JDF would sympathize with JCVD for having bipolar on the day they first met where JCVD was acting douche to JDF.
Rest in peace Jason David Frank!
I love how he was just a nice easy going guy but when push came to shove he was not scared to fight anyone.
Dude many stories prove he was not a nice guy including this one.
@@Nepthu he was nice guy he just wasn’t a pu$$y
Jdf called out so many people when he was trying to get into the MMA scene after a while it got annoying. More than likely he would have just been another CM Punk in the UFC . 2-3 fights all losses then out.
Pretty sure his official mma record is like 1-0
I think it's 5 and 0, but to be fair he only really fought washed up bums.
I would love to have seen jdf fight Jean-Claude Van Damme, but it will never be. 😢 Rip jdf

@Nobody Special515 Jason was dealing with similar shit should have been able to identify a kindred spirit.
@Nobody Special515 JDF was my hero too man but I'm not delusional enough to believe he was a perfect man and husband bro you need to take a break from media seriously.
@Nobody Special515 Jason had dealt with drugs and addiction until pretty recently fyi.
@Nobody Special515 bro look it up he got clean after some his cast mates advised him to I have no reason to drag the man or nothing to gain from it and wouldn't be stating anything without facts.
A part of my childhood died too couldn't wait to watch power ranger's as soon as I got home from school may he RIP.
It would've been great to see David vs CM Punk. R.I.P. David, thank you for everything you contributed to humanity.
Pretty sure JDF would have easily beaten CM Punk.
Punk can't fight anyone.
Wow I had know idea that there was a beef between Jason and jean claude van damme
Jason David Frank had beef with Christopher Khayman Lee (Andros the Red Space Ranger) before he passed. He emailed him and they buried the hatchet.
Yo why is JDF going around having so much god damn beef with so many dudes, especially co stars. maybe has something to do with his self deletion or at least part of it.
Never knew that.
It’s sad that’s he’s gone but let’s get real. We as a society need to stop glorifying and praising the deaths of those who take their own lives. Childhood hero or not this dude stained his Legacy, Ranger or not.
🕯R.I.P🕊 Jason David Frank aka⚡️Tommy Oliver💚🤍❤️🖤 thank you for being my super hero.
JCV is an experienced fighter with an arrogant mean streak. He would've fought dirty. And he wouldn't have pulled any punches.
That's why he would've never fought Franks in a sanctioned match.
What a bunch of nonsense.😅
What??
@@alwkicksta If you want to understand. Don't just comment. Watch the video. And then look up JCV kickboxing record. 18-1. All knockouts.
I'm not saying JCV would have lost to Frank's in sanchend match. Far from it. I'm saying JCV was a ruthless fighter. He got his 1st acting job by knocking out a guy at the audition.
I think he would never hurt his image by publicly knocking out the star of a popular kids show. He would have only taught Frank's a lesson in private.
I just been watching everything JDF got on TH-cam. Thankfully he left a lot of content behind. Especially a movie coming to theaters. Man! He was funny, smart, a great role model, a family man and didn’t take sh!+ from nobody. That JDF v Van Damme video is on TH-cam. That was one of the first things I watched after his passing. Never backed down. Ready to go. Anytime, anywhere. He was the real deal man! “Don’t try to punk me man” frank said to Van Damme! Never forget it. Van Damme is one my favorites and here is the Green Ranger not backing down an inch! Good video bro👏👏👏
JDF was legit a real one, and not afraid, respect. That being said JCVD is 12 years older than him, he's 62 right now... Van Damme in his prime was an absolute beast, he's an old man in that video where he says "Don't try to punk me man", and JDF is in good shape 45 year old guy.. bigger too..
Just pointing out Van Damme wasn't PRIME Van DAmme lol, that would be a much different story if this fight was to go down in the 90's lol. Both legends in my book, and childhood heroes of mine. Sad to see they had beef.. Hope JCVD says something about JDF's passing in respect. Rip Green/White Ranger.
@@randomrecipes5007 Prime Van Damme was a ballet dancer and an actor. He has never been a professional fighter, or done any kind of competitions. Bulky, balled up muscle isn't as advantageous in a fight as non-experienced, non-professional fights might think it is. Tone, definition, cardio, and linear USEABLE muscle is key. Just doing body builder show muscle and expecting to be fast or capable is a mistake that happens a lot to guys who show up to our gym thinking because they love PEDs and 'roids to lift their weights, it makes them untouchable.
We always throw them a smaller guy who is toned up and experienced and it always ends the same. Big man gets either knocked out, choked out, or gives up because he's puking his guts out because he's out of breath.
May he rest in peace but not to lie I idolize both Jason David Frank and Jean-Claude Van Damme I would have paid good money to see that go down both are true martial artist and there is no camera work
Jason made a fool of himself with him. RIP but the man had an ego and it showed many times ESPECIALLY with CM Punk.
Everyone has an ego
@@JORDAN23TV people only mention it if it's a problem.
JDF really was a good genuine person, Rest in power 🙏
A ranger versus a cyborg wouldn't be a bad idea
the final comment about separating the artist from his art i think was when he was talking about recent events with austin st john being arrested (the red ranger). this was in regards to next year’s power rangers anniversary reunion and not jean claude van damme.
also van damme was at the red carpet premiere with his kids at the power rangers movie at the mann chinese theater. there was a behind the scenes documentary of the movie mentioning van damme was there because his kids were big fans of them. that is why i find it hard to believe van damme had any beef with jason. they were also fans of the rangers.
also i believe david yost was bullied on set and there was an old clip of david frank putting a fly in david yost’s food. and also a brief portion of a behind the scenes where david was pushing jason away from him, almost instinctively. so all i can say is we don’t know jason david frank personally to make hard cut opinions with his personal life, because people are complex and most people are not saints.
R.i.p. Jason D.F. sadly missed
JDF WRECKING Herschel would've been AWESOME 🤣🤣
Rest in peace legend
R.I.P. Jason D Frank
Back in the 80's one of the guys from my Kick-Boxing gym who was a legitimate champion met VanDamme. My friend was a nice, humble guy despite his accomplishments in the sport and he rarely had anything bad to say about anyone. However, he said VanDamme was a total dick. Guys like JKVD who've only experienced limited contact in that ridiculous game of tag that they play generally have an inflated sense of themselves...
Van Damme has multiple KO's to his record. So your "tag" stuff is nonsense. Also, JCVD has diagnosed rapid cycling bi-polar disorder. You can you meet him on a day where he's not doing so well. There's also plenty of stories of Van Damme being wonderful with people he's met. So it's not so easy to pigeonhole him.
@@wantutosigh1117 Oh hi super-fan! I don’t know him and I don’t think you do either, but I think his attitude is more of a reflection of his cocaine habit than anything else. Also, do you have any video evidence of the so-called fight record?
Limited contact?? 18-1 in kickboxing is not "limited" contact. Getting knocked on his ass with a hook punch(es) by Sherman "Big Train" Bergman in a kickboxing match in 1980 wasn't JCVD experiencing "limited" contact. He was a full contact fighter.
Also, forget that guy's story. It's only coming from him. People make up lies and fabricate all the time to paint who they don't like or jealous/envious of in a bad light. Ive seen it time after time after time...
@@alwkicksta Point Karate isn’t Kick-Boxing. There’s no evidence that he ever did any real fighting.
@@pinkydavis6113 Yes there is, and KO'ing someone is not point fighting. He knocked a lot of people out in the first round, and in one case in under 19 seconds. He was basically the real Frank Dux from Bloodsport, but without the embellishments.
Sounds like Jason has an attitude problem despite everyone feeling hes such a great guy while hes going around challenging dudes
I find it weird that hes a nice guy when he goes around challenging a mentally ill person like JCVD who has bipolar. Yeah he might have been a prick to you Jason one time, but JCVD probly was in bad personality that day. Majority of people who saw and met the normal side of JCVD have said he was a very nice gentleman and welcoming. Maybe Jason has some weird personality trait like inferiority complex or something going around trying to fight people, might have something to do with his guilt making him self delete.
From what I understand JCVD started it and JDF called him out and JCVD backed off like a coward
This would of been a dream match
JDF would smash
@@JSmoothSoul wrong kid
@@tony202931 JDF is 6 -0 in MMA matches. John is great but I don't think he can beat a MMA fighter bro
It's Jean* and he had many kickboxing matches and only loss a few due to DQ. JDF and JCVD were both my idols and my fave action stars and as much as i love me some Tommy and Green and white ranger and i know how badass and dangerous he is but Van Damm was a extreme specimen and is that guy
The thing too is JCVD is not even in JDF weight class, but either way, they're both legit martial artists
The power rangers would of never lasted this long if it wasnt for JDF. HE WAS THE POWER RANGERS
Van Damme learning about JDF's death.
"Wars cancelled"
Good video and RIP to JDF. However I want to hear Jean Claude's side of this story. Not that I don't believe Jason but I still want to hear his side of what went down. Just saying.
I'll tell you this he never put him against the wall. The video is online.
JCVD spoke of it one brief time in an article shortly after it happened and then moved on with his life. He basically said that a guy (JDF) came at him aggressively out of the blue...he seemed very bewildered about what happened. This whole story/incident was a lie and instigated and fabricated by JDF out of envy.
This is only one side of the story. Van Damme has always come off as a very nice guy and pretty much everyone who met him or worked with him have nothing but good things to say about him. who knows what was going on between the two of them, only they do.
not everyone gets along with each other.
As a kid I thought he was tall like 6ft. Rocky did say that he was 5ft10 on the show but apparently that was a lie.
He knew his time was short.
Wow. We could have had a Green Ranger vs. Guile match. Jason's background seems a little like Johnny Cage's inspiration on the Mortal Kombat Legacy series online. Johnny Cage is also based off of Van Damn and; while Jason never clashed with Van Dam, Green Ranger did a fan battle against Ryu. I would love to see Jason's character Green Ranger cross over to either Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Tekken would be cool too. Green Ranger would kick EVERYONE'S asses! 🎵Go...Green Ranger...Go! Go! Green Ranger Go!!!🎶 R.I.P Jason. 💚
They had the white ranger fight scorpion I think
@@rzxwm10 That's pretty cool. Akuma; I believe, defeated Scorpion. Now I want to see White Ranger fight Akuma. I'm thinking he'd have an easier time than Ryu has all these years.
May the power always protect you Zordon
REST IN POWER!
Rest peacefully, King!
this is why as fanboys, we should never let our fanboyism be huge whenever we see our idols. Getting to know them personally ain't gonna be cool most of the time. RIP the green ranger.
Rest in peace Jason.
Damn. It would have been awesome to see them fight
Such a troubling and miserable individual. Hope he finds peace there.
So true and yet I see fans acting like his behavior was acceptable.
Sad when CM Punk dissed him when Punk was trying to be a UFC fighter. 2:11 speaking of Punk. Boi looks thicc in that pic
He will be missed forever and ♾️♾️♾️ and beond 💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕯️🕯️🕯️🙏🙏
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12
Stinks they had a beef, but at this point it doesn't matter much at all. I am sure Jean is sad in his own way now. Almost seems like frenemies.
JDF had the beef and envy for JCVD and instigated and fabricated that verbal incident. JCVD barely knew who he was and was caught off guard by his aggression.
@@alwkicksta Yeah.... apprently JDF was throwing around something about the Chuck Zito incident when Zito sucker punched a drunk Van Damme and then ran to the media about it.
He is the reason I got my ear pierced in kindergarten
REST IN POWER BROTHER 🙏🏼💚🤍❤ Once a ranger always a ranger
I never knew tha, may he be in heaven and with us his fans, his friends and family and his legacy will live on forever :)
Sad to see he passed away. Loved power Rangers. But he would have never beat jcvd in a fight. I seen the comicon video. And he didn't have JC pinned up to a wall. Lots of ppl say things about JCVD but he was a legit fighter and champion
He was ma favourite and green and white and the best one ❤💚
May he rest in peace. I just loved him.
And it doesn't surprise me that van Damme acted that way . He's such an arrogant ass
Whatever clown.
Well...youre wrong.
Im so sorry that Jason Frank David died. rest in peace
