The evolution was crazy too, he was basically a pure striker, got subbed a few times by the shamrocks and funaki, then went deep on learning submissions and finished his career with more sub wins than ko's. Idk where you got that record tho, everything I can find says 28-4-1.
@@KrikZ32 I included his kickboxing career as well, and yes he was definitely a student anything he needed to do to get better he he would learn. So much passion I wish he didn't have so many health issues.
@@KrikZ32 another interesting thing about Bas was of those MMA fights the only losses he took was in Pancreas I believe, in what we know now as modern MMA he retired the undefeated heavyweight champ actually but doesn't get credit for that because alot of his fights were in Pancreas and it was still very early in rise of the sport
@@davidpetruic9557 The reason he doesn't get credit is cuz nobody thought he win against Randleman for the belt. It was the most controversial decision back in the day. And that's why he then also moved down cuz I dont think he himself thought he won. Cuz why else leave a belt right?
I love Bas. I came into the sport on the back of PRIDE. I still go back and watch their old cards from time to time. For my money Bas and Quadros are the greatest commentary team ever put together
Bad Ruttens comentary on all his fights are awesome. When watching from the first fight he honesty in his commentary takes you deep into understanding his growth as a fighter. If you haven't seen them, I suggest you look for them and watch it. I think it's on his TH-cam channel. Look into it.
At the end, Bas describes what Chandler did to Hooker very well. He didn't just hit him with body shots, he really went as hard as he could with them so Hooker was forced to block, then went for the head and the rest is history.
El guapo!! When I was younger they had a pride fc highlight show that Bas hosted with frank trigg and sometimes a different host. I learned so much listening to Bas breakdown subs or how a fighters stance caused the knockout! He is one of the greatest ever!!
Bas it's a greatest figter all the time !! expect a real figter's don't remember a Mirko' cro cop' Filipović, but he's a legend on mma , like Bas Rutten ! Sorry about my gramatic on English. All the best from Croatia 🙏👊✌
No disrespect to Bas but Ariel’s overly optimistic about cherishing the old greats that will never happen once you’re gone you’re forgotten and the next guy gets your shine.
The first time I noticed Bas was in GTA 4. I literally always thought he was just a made up character. Then it all started being uploaded on TH-cam, and man he’s real! What a character. Someone you don’t ever wanna fk with
i wanna see commander dale brown grapple with bas now. See if his tricks really work. But i started considering it legit when joaquin buckley started training with him though
Bas' point is that real life and death situations are inherently dangerous because they are chaotic. Real life is not like a well lit dojo with compliant participants.
If people pary punches same way bas threw punches in pankration then mma wouldn’t have a problem with eye pokes anymore or at least greatly reduce the chances of poking
Bas you're my favorite, been a fan of you since I got into the sport almost 10 years ago, but respectfully you don't know what you're talking about on this one. Dale Brown is an undefeated martial arts coach with extensive training in combat. In fact i would recommend you stop in to get your D.U.S.T. certification so that you can continue coaching with a degree of credibility.
In 61 pro fights Bas was 52-8-1 an absolutely amazing career. Hats off to you El Guapo my all time favourite fighter.

@@KrikZ32 I like to think I'm a Bas know it all lol I've talked with him on a few occasions, we even compared funny beards once lol

Legend of the sport.
Liver shot legend! 🥶

Gotta love bas, these casuals can never appreciate the impact this man had on fighting not just MMA, what a legend
Casuals are great.
@@mrg1247 he set the blueprint for all these fighters that are over 200lbs and fight at flyweight 😂😂
@@mrg1247 He ended career on a 20 fight win streak. Unbeaten in 12 years. Sounds like a chump alright
Damn Bas right arm never came back that's nuts I thought it was temporary man's a legend.
what happened?
@@tiger-rgn trapped nerves in his neck
even after all these years, the original el guapo as ever
There's no way not to like that man. Karate kombat is actually pretty good too.
Once you hear how much he was facilitating the scamming of fighters in his previous org, it should make you raise an eyebrow.
Brian Urlacher didnt, thats my favorite Bas story
That glove definitely seems be an improvement. Wish they would have used Trevor Whitmans glove as well in UFC.
They wanted to buy Patton but Trevor did not want to give it up.
I was hoping the UFC were going to adopt those style gloves also.
Bas. One of the GOATS. So much more than just a combat athlete
gotta love Bas Rutten!!!! OG MMA living legend.

18:12 Sharp elbow block is good against streight punches... Also you can catch a jab for a multitude of counters.
Absolute legend of MMA
Funaki was so tough cause if you have watched the fight I swear Bas was going to kill him. The shots he took were so brutalizing and devastating!
@Dingle berry McDo nope.ajpw
Bas took over this interview right from the start... and it's all the better for it.
El Guapo is a 🐐
not those little body body HEAD... you gotta take it seriously... BODY... BODY... see the hands go down.. BANG.
I love bas.
legit genius fight IQ
The true GOAT
Living legend!
Bas is a freaking savage and a legend
Bas needs his own podcast or show again
Legend. We miss you Bas

I can’t decide who’s the most intimidating bald MMA fighter of all time:
Prime Bas vs Yoel Romero
Definitely bald Rose 🤣
Legend 💪
Legend!!!
What an awesome dude, I watched the short doco about him on TH-cam, what a frigging beast this guy was, a total terminator, respect
12:55 starts talking about "Commander" Brown
He is the man....period. Bas is just so right, 🔥 👌
9:09 that Knee sounds so brutal 😳
Captain. I need time stamps
well MMAFightingSBN got their clickbait title.....disrespectful to ma man Bas he talked about so much more ...shame on you take a HEEL TO THE GROIN!!
Respect to helwani but inside mma was the greatest mma show ever
22 minute interview and that’s the headline you choose?
"Commander" Is earned. You don't just get to call yourself that.
You got to love El Guapo Bas Rutten. One of the nicest guys around that can easily kick your ass.
Bas it's a greatest figter all the time !! expect a real figter's don't remember a Mirko' cro cop' Filipović, but he's a legend on mma , like Bas Rutten ! Sorry about my gramatic on English. All the best from Croatia 🙏👊✌

Ariel trying to dig dirt as usual and Bas gave him nothing...too smart
How can you NOT LOVE BAS!!!

Someone you don’t ever wanna fk with

Following that man's instructions will get you killed 🤣😂🤣

Bas, looking as handsome as ever!
Finally, some sense
Time stamps would be nice. Come on - you can do it!
The legend!
And meanwhile Chris Leben still waiting for his money....
Bas the Boss
Hardest man on planet earth. If Bas slapped Chris Rock then we'd have a dead comedian on our hands
If Will slapped Bas, we'd have a dead cuckold on our hands.
... ' the NOT real guy ' !!!
💥👍✊
Bas Rutten the King of all fighters!!
How dare you criticize the best coach in mma bas🤬😡
If people pary punches same way bas threw punches in pankration then mma wouldn’t have a problem with eye pokes anymore or at least greatly reduce the chances of poking
