Aikido is small-joint manipulation which UFC wouldn't allow. It would be like a Muay Thia fighter being thrown into a boxing match.
I think Steven Seagal would laugh if the question was brought up to him if he wanted to fight in the UFC and come up with a similar answer.

@BodyModifier: My statement was actually being made tongue-in-cheek.  :)  In all seriousness though, you are correct.  I don't know the extent of Steven's knowledge, but putting him in the octagon would be like putting some of the one/two dimensional fighters from the early UFC days in the octagon today.  That's putting aside the physical/cardio training he would have to undergo to become a serious competitor.

@Havok. I know he wouldn't be able to to compete in the UFC. It'd be a pointless but it'd create a buzz for sure. Anyone would know he wouldn't do well competing and wouldn't be well rounded. Take away his wrist locks, and techniques he would have nothing to help him. He could counter and use your body energy and use his Aikido as defense, but I don't think he'd fare well against a lot of the mixed martial artists. He says he has trained his own punches and kicks but I don't think it'd cut it.
Anyways it does sound like a cool to have him in MMA but realistically it wouldn't make sense or he would have suggested it and would have followed through.

@Mystical ninja. There are actual people that think he stands a chance now seeing he's been credited a bit for Andersons/Machidas victory. Which is laughable. So this isn't directed to you but anyone in particular curious if he would do well in the Octagon lol.

As long as he keeps giving us sweet KO's, I have no problem with the guy. I've never seen any of his movies or know anything about him TBH.

Chuck Norris isn't allowed because he has a banned substance inside him called Chuck Norris.
