A training video recently surfaced, and many criticized “The Iceman’s” movement. The 48-year-old told reporters that he challenges those critics to be on the receiving end of his kicks (via MMAJunkie.com):

I challenge anyone talking trash about it to take one of those kicks I was throwing anyway. They’re not that soft. I was just warming up my legs the way I like to do it. I was just warming up my legs, so it is what it is.”
This is the footage in question:
