I met Bas while he was commentating a PFL fight in 2018. He was so nice and humble and took a picture with me. A super nice guy and a great CHAMPION!!!
you'll find the best fighters.. are the one's you dont see fight a lot :-\.... sent a couple bully's to the hospital because they tested the fact. the bloody police told them my legsa were registed as lethal... geez what idiots,,, I could push over 200 pounds a leg... I weighed 120 lol.. lil kick here kick there ooops sorry.. no really I'm sory I broke your sturnumans 4 ribs with it LOL they started it..
@erepsekahs a liver blow is one of the most effective blows at debilitating and flat out shutting your opponent down. Fighting through not one, not two, but three liver kicks(and punches) would be like gettin gut shot then standin up to fight.
@@erepsekahs If you have ever felt the unfortunate pain of being hit in the liver you would agree that the pain is insane. It has a delay to it.. You take the shot and about 3 seconds later your liver seizes up on you...If you put a gun to my head and gave me the choice to be hit in the liver or the nuts I would have a hard time deciding lol.
EVERYONE was juicing. Literally. The UFC was at it's best when everyone was juicing too. Look at the difference in UFC before and after USADA came into the picture. It completely ruined careers like Johnny Hendricks. This is why Nick Diaz was always complaining about it he was one of the very few fighters not using at the time.
If anyone doesnt know, Bas has his ENTIRE Pancrase career on TH-cam for FREE with his commentary on every single fight. One of my favorite things on TH-cam, and it really highlights how high level and unique Pancrase actually was. Also, Bas is hilarious, and him commentating his own fights (especially the losses) is nothing short of straight comedy
What even is Pancrase though?? Ive seen it before but having a closer look at it, I can only boil it down to being the real full physical contact version of WWE except no punches, just slaps and kicks.... Like wtf even is that... Like why???
Bas Rutten is an absolute legend. One of the best fighters ever. One of the most elite strikers in MMA history. One of my favorite fighters of all time.
Prolly cause the rules r different. Pancrase is similar to boxing or kickboxing where when a fighter gets knocked down there is a 10 count. Meaning the other fighter can’t continue attacking. In ufc there is no 10 count. So it makes more sense to continue striking to ensure victory once their opponent is down.
Rutten is and was one tough cookie, his endurance was phenomenal. He tolerance for pain was incredible, the man had the heart of a lion, a true champion of all champions.
And he's also bigger and taller than 98% of the people he's defeated. Pretty much like Jon Jones situation: already very gifted but he's also blessed with OUTLIER physical attributes that put 99.9% of all others at a disadvantage. Not sure how great that is, on a per unit, per capita basis... compared to someone very small like Demetrius Johnson who's almost always fighting as the smaller guy, even if his opponents also are elite...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 Jones is far larger than Bas, and Bas isn't as much of a weight bully as you're making him sound. All but 2-3 of Bas' opponents were within 3-4 inches of height of him--in several cases having Bas as the *smaller* fighter--which is entirely normal for any weight class/organization, and lots of people were gasheads at the time. ""FightMetric, the official statistics provider for the UFC, ran the numbers on Rutten’s career. They back up the Dutchman’s inclusion into the UFC Hall of Fame and then some. In the 4-hours, 27-minutes and 8-seconds he spent as a pro fighter, Rutten scored 13 knockdowns without getting dropped himself, his significant strike accuracy was 70.6%, the highest FightMetric has ever recorded, attempted a record 53 submissions and successfully swept his opponents a record 46 times." " You don't get these stats from simply being tall or heavy. Jon Jones is a genuinely towering human being, at 6'4 and a freakish 84 inch wingspan, his natural benefits are far beyond Bas'. I'd also like to note that Bas fought at the same weight classes as Jones, where Bas was notably smaller than Jon. In today's sport, Bas' height is literally seen on fucking welterweights. Bas being 6'1 at Light Heavyweight/Heavyweight is actually very modest now. In today's sport, Bas' body would land him in Middleweight. Your characterization is simply not historically true, and doesn't account for Bas' incredible stats and abilities. Putting that aside, I agree that Mighty Mouse is incredible, and he can't be appreciated enough. Additionally, I think weight bullying (and therefore weight cutting) is one of the dumbest parts of this sport, and should be fucking banned. Lastly, I think having reach and height caps on weight classes would force the sport to have far more fairness, honour, and lead to much better health standards for the athletes. A sport built on unfair advantages is hardly sportsmen-like.
What a MAN! I am not an expert in martial fights but his fighting looks to me to be very clean. His strength, his speed and precision are unbelievable!
Brilliantly put together doc. Never heard of pancrese or Bas Rutten. What a dude. Reminds me of an old punk mate of mine. Everything he touched seemed to go to sleep. He slapped. Literally like in this sport. Open handed slapped a guy called Herbie Hide (actually an ex world champ) to the ground. And Hide did not want to know. Early hours. Unthank road. Norwich. UK. 24hour garage forecourt. 1991-92. RIP Les. Didn't like bullies. Especially the ladies. Great stuff. Thank you. Bless.
Bas just has that bad ass look to him. Not taking anything away from his fighting skills, cause Bas IS a bad ass. Always one of my favorites. His striking was vicious. Anyone going toe to toe with him I'm sure was regretting that decision after taking the first open palm strike. Thanks for putting this clip together . Bas deserves all the notoriety given. One of the greatest of all time for sure.
He’s got that “tough, ol deddy who just wants to be left alone and have a good time” and mix that with “I’ll make sure that we DO have a fun time and no problems” attitude. Badass.
Bas, was and is still one of the greatest lethal fighters ever ! He was far ahead of his time . I take my hat off to Bas, I was a Taekwondo champion, and was headed in his footsteps, until Multiple Sclerosis ended my career .
Sorry to hear that bro. Hard autoimmune diseases can disrupt our lives. I'm struggling with Lupis myself. I feel like I disintegrating as time goes by. I hope you are dealing with yours as best you can.
I don't get how a fighter with so many miles like Rutten can now, after his career being over, be so normal. He speaks really well with no signs of head concussion and is smart when talking to anyone. Rutten is certainly a legend in so many ways.
MMA, especially back in the bare knuckle days, in the end is safer than boxing, Kick boxing and MT. The Boxing gloves are not designed to protect the fighters head, they are designed to protect the fighters hands. With padded gloves you can throw hard punches without worry of breaking your hand, in bare knuckle you have to be selective and take the power off. Yes, bare knuckle, and 4 oz MMA gloves cause more cuts and blood, but the brain damage is minimized. With MMA you also have more brain safe ways to lose, submissions, even chokes cause no damage to the brain if the ref is doing his job, you just lose track of time lol.
@@andrewwood9067 I don't think that's it. You might have an iffy point that a boxer does not need to be concerned about hurting his hand. But then again I remained unconvinced that MMA fighters are concerned with the hand injury so much that they would willingly tone down their punches. Also, you're wrong about the potential brain injury: Padded gloves will hit you with less force. Your head and brain will accelerate more gradually than if the exactly same punch was delivered w/o padding. Boxers are more proficient with punches than mma fighters and their volume is higher so that might even out or tip the odds of traumatic brain injury. The main risk comes from uneven pairing (skill, weight) like we saw in the early UFC days.
@@bosnbruce5837 I did both boxing and mma and am now a striking coach. I'm not only speaking from experience but many scientific studies have been done to support it. I do agree that mismatches are the most damaging however
It is ruthless and violent but I personally enjoy this fight style as well as technical fights. These bouts take technical skill but brutality is massive. These men know and agree to give and take punishment.
Fights like these inspired and Started UFC. Bas was one of the pioneer MMA masters, being able to cripple opponents on the mat as well as striking. Probably the most Memorable overall MMA fighter in history.
I've heard that on quiet nights in the Netherlands, if you put your ear to the sky you can still hear the shockwave from that liver kick circling the earth.
Then you would enjoy the Shamrock brothers, Ken & Frank. Ken defeated Bas Twice, both times by submission. Frank won by decision. And as above he received a devastating KO at the hands Frank Lobman. Six losses in total.
Its your ignorance in the matter that makes a fight look like 'cuddling' to you. It's like people saying chess is boring when they don't know how to play it. Go watch boxing or muay thai fights
Dude you have no idea how crucial jiu jitsu and wrestling are in a fight. Evenly matched fights ALWAYS go to the ground. What you refer to as “cuddling” is an art you can’t even comprehend, and is just as (and arguably MORE) valuable than being a good striker. Learn a little. Then it won’t look like cuddling. You’ll understand what artful combat it actually is.
Бас Руттен- легенда на все времена! Уникальная техника, потрясающая скорость рук и ног, порог болевой отсутствует начисто! Можно только представить о времени, проводимом Басом в тренировочных залах! КРАСАВЕЦ! Неподражаемый!!!
He’s in the top 5 of all time. I’m glad when I see he has a cameo in a movie. He’s absolutely brutal, and changed how fighters have to fight. Love him!
I used to know Bas years ago when his studio was in Beverly Hills. But I haven't seen him in years. He is one of the funniest guys I have ever known. But also has the meanest kick I have ever seen. OMG.
Bas rutten strikes were no joke. He KO'd so many fighters just in the first few minutes. Being both insanely strong physically but also being so accurate and relentless in counters and certain situations. Guy is a beast for sure.
Bas is possibly the greatest. Ever since I had dreams of street fighter and UFC, in the magic time when it happened, he was the best, along with my favorite characters because he was doing it for real. He's a living legend. He's gone from the boing, boing, to the breath, breath, between his bar fighting tapes and the super saiyan breathing devices he sells, but that dude will take this entire comment section out in one single areal areal split if he had to. Much love for Bas Rutten.
Always loved his style... Best fighter of all times because best style of all times,no mytho-jitsu or martial circus,just full rage and efficiency. Warrior style,as close of street fight as it could be possible...

18:00 - that ref is absolutely brilliant. Well done lad! He saw it before it became worrying and called it just as it became undeniably a submission. Wonderful awareness. Extremely good.
@@theunfazed7109 Not true. Because if you strike them while they inhale, they still have an oxygen supply. After your opponent has exhaled? He has NONE!!!! And that shit's gotta SUCK!!!
@@wariokhabib245 Hit yourself in the solar plexus as you are exhaling. Then, hit yourself in the solar plexus while you INHALE. Tell me which causes more pain friend. Breathing out while you get hit gives you more resistance to the impact.
I love how Bas showed how powerful the palm strike was on boney structures and the fist devastates the soft areas of the body which save him many broken hands
Don't forget "The diamond" Ramon Dekkers and "The lumberjack" Peter Aerts .... We've got many great fighters and champions in almost all variety of combat sports!!
Bloody entertaining . Bass is so bloody strong but kept the fights professional . I don't detect any boasting from him . He is a true sportsman . He had lots of courage . Brutal force this man . I enjoyed all these fights ❤❤❤Well done my man.
What makes Bas so intimidating was how strong Katsuomi was. If you haven't felt it before, I can tell you a liver punch is complete shut down of pure pain, like a migrane in your balls, Katsuomi handled several brutal fight-ending kicks and hooks right to the liver. Absolutely inhuman, now imagine how scary the man who took him down must be.

Fighter are truly intimidating like Tyson and Bas here. You just have to hear their name and you know how scary it could be to face them. I don't want to be hit by either thank you.
🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨Un gran campeón nadie lo duda su técnica única lo sorprendente es que sabe cómo salir de las llaves , los rivales duros y fueron campeones, además un gran caballero .
Made us Europeans proud ! Thank you Bas !!!!!
18:00 - that ref is absolutely brilliant.
Well done lad! He saw it before it became worrying and called it just as it became undeniably a submission.
Wonderful awareness.
Extremely good.
Bas is an absolute legend and a man of Honour. 🇦🇺🙏🥋

Bas is an absolute legend of mixed martial arts wow one tough dude,respect
My man had the palm strike of a bear. Incredible fighter and a legend in mma for sure.
Bas knew to strike his opponent at the EXACT MOMENT he was exhaling?!?!?
THAT is a man with an AMAZING fight IQ!!!
You should strike as they are inhaling, not exhaling.
@@theunfazed7109 Not true. Because if you strike them while they inhale, they still have an oxygen supply. After your opponent has exhaled? He has NONE!!!! And that shit's gotta SUCK!!!
@@wariokhabib245 Hit yourself in the solar plexus as you are exhaling. Then, hit yourself in the solar plexus while you INHALE. Tell me which causes more pain friend. Breathing out while you get hit gives you more resistance to the impact.
BAS IS THE MAN.
This was a great display of targeted liver strikes and shows just how powerful a palm wrist strike can be. Bas put on a clinic.

Beautiful just simply beautiful Bas Rutten is a true legend. Obviously the record shows it is second to none and is truly the best champion of all.
Hands down the best Palm striker in combat sport history
Bas=legend
Bas reminds a whole generation. The open hand slap is still a real powerful strike
This is nuts man. Ive never seen these before. I dont even think this was available on DirectTV yet at the time lol
Bas is a legend
Ken Shamrock , Bas Rutten , Tito Ortiz , Chuck Lidell , Vanderlei Silva , Fedor Emelianenko , ...... Real Legend s Hall of Famer s . Great Fighter s .
Fedor Bas Shamrock
Dan severan, Don Frye. Kevin Randleman, Marc Coleman, Mark Kerr, fuck it..Johnny Lawrence too
I love how Bas showed how powerful the palm strike was on boney structures and the fist devastates the soft areas of the body which save him many broken hands
Just wanna thank the TH-cam algorithm for this video. Very entertaining
The dutch fighting scene is incredible. Schilt, Overeem, Musasi, Mr Perfect aka Hoost and last but not least Bas Rutten. All these among many others.
Don't forget "The diamond" Ramon Dekkers and "The lumberjack" Peter Aerts .... We've got many great fighters and champions in almost all variety of combat sports!!
Overeem is not Dutch. He is African
@@JoseCamposSegovia you're pathetic
@@JoseCamposSegovia....Overeem’s grandmother & mother were like 6’2” tall white Dutch women. He is just as much Dutch as “African”
@@Day-ZDuke proof?
Bas is a true pioneer of the sport and would've ended most of his fights a lot sooner with today's MMA closed first strikes
That was a great one that was very good I love to get your subscription thank you😊
Bloody entertaining . Bass is so bloody strong but kept the fights professional . I don't detect any boasting from him . He is a true sportsman . He had lots of courage . Brutal force this man . I enjoyed all these fights ❤❤❤Well done my man.
*Bas The Boss*
Bas was a true beast!
Boss Rutten!
I can imagine that even BLOCKING one of Bas Rutten`s strikes/kicks would have been a very unpleasant
experience.
What makes Bas so intimidating was how strong Katsuomi was. If you haven't felt it before, I can tell you a liver punch is complete shut down of pure pain, like a migrane in your balls, Katsuomi handled several brutal fight-ending kicks and hooks right to the liver. Absolutely inhuman, now imagine how scary the man who took him down must be.
It's nothing like "a migraine in your balls". What a weird comparison.
@@SunTzuMedia as in the degree of pain, my nigga
