"God I'm good looking." -he is fucking awesome
+Bruno Muscolo (Tano) I love Bas' sense of humor and humility.
He was a professional model.
El Guapo!
I wish every fighter was as cool as Bas Rutten. These commentaries are the best
Agree.
5:51 "He's way better than me on the ground." One of many compliments he gives to Ken in this match. Bas is SUCH a class act. One of the best all time........on the mat or behind the mic.
I would like to have I would like to have boys welcome boys
Still are!
Absolutely. Bas and Ken both I've seen brag on other fighters talents. To be that caliber of an athlete and retain humility is rare. I doubt I could do it if in the same situation. I'll never have to worry about that though. My best and only fighting technique has kept me safe for over 50 years. Unfortunately it's not as good as it use to be. Mom is getting up there in age and alot of times she doesn't hear me scream for her.
Gotta love and respect a fighter who posts all their fights on TH-cam, whether they're wins or losses, and does commentary for them either way
Wins or losses, it's just who you are, they made you into the person you are today. Respect for Bas.
This makes you appreciate how great Ken Shamrock was.
and how great Royce Gracie was.
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor LMAO.. THAT CHEATING WEASEL WAS NO GREAT
This makes YOU appreciate it.
Vast majority already knew
Can we talk about how Bas didn't have to talk to the audience, he didn't have to learn Japanese and could've hired an interpreter, but he did it anyways to show his respect for his audience and the country as a whole. You just don't see that anymore.
Blake Huggard: I think the Japanese were even more impressed with Rutten's language skills than his fighting skills, or at least the combination of the two had won them over. A little respect goes a long way.
U talking like if that was the norm but Bas was the exception
He all ready speaks at least 2 western languages. Why not Japanese. It is typical among all educated peoples (accept Americans)

Shamrock was a beast. One of the best submission fighters I’ve ever seen. Incredibly strong and amazing technique.
Juiced to the gills though lol
he def was, but here or later on? his size here isn't out of the ordinary in this fight.@@mjay6245
@@mjay6245 At that time in heavyweight fighting championships, you pretty much HAD to be juiced up to compete. Otherwise you were at a severe disadvantage
"Remember everything." Good advice from his corner.
One time I was losing a thing but then I remembered everything thankfully
@@drumboarder1 Same. I lost the fight but at least I remembered everything.
That crowd is incredible, you could hear a pin drop...
cvano003 that's how Japan always is. They rarely make a ton of noise.
cvano003 japan
Japanese crowds are always like that... even for pro wrestling
@@moriordan85 it's a sign of respect for what they are doing.
It's amazing to me how respectful and quite the audience is at times. You can hear their breathing and the real struggle of a fight. I LOVE these videos!
Ian Major he mentioned it earlier how the Japanese crowd are quiet and respectful, and they like to see good techniques and not blood. They root for everyone.
about to say the same, just 4 years later
Ian Major that’s because the Japanese are very respectful.
And here we are just watching them haha
When I was a kid in high school my first exposure to both of these men was when they came to fight at the UFC. My buddies and I had zero inkling that men like Bas and Ken were busy being legends throughout the rest of the world. I am privileged that this footage exists to return to.
Fighting Ken in his prime was no easy task.
Not at all.
Humility is strong in this one.
Respect
As an amateur fighter myself I totally agree that you only learn by losing fights, taking a loss and learning why, then tightening up your game in those areas is the only real way to improve... GREAT FIGHT!!!!
Bas had some informal training but after this started getting with the BJJ and Shooters
Bass is a great role model and has always seemed like a really nice yet extremely dangerous guy, you never find anyone with a bad word about him and he gets the respect he deserves, hope he is happy and well.
Yeah, not like Bas Rutten though.. Totally different story
@@THERAMMSTEINFAN490 ?
@@THERAMMSTEINFAN490 hello, father?
@@dr.doppeldecker3832 It was in jest, alluding to the poster writing "Bass".
Bass is a fish.
To see you go this long with Shamrock as a new fighter is unreal. The guy was an amazing grappler. Glad to see you learned from it and became the fighter you did.
Yea it’s really impressive that he lasted that long. He had very little grappling training at that point in his career.
Dude that was pure resilience for that long against Ken win or lose holy shit
Prime Ken was a great fighter. A shame injuries took their toll in the later part of his career.
Pro wrestling prob didn't help with the injuries
27 to 34 yrs old he was unstoppable the injuries took everything from him. Neck and knees surgery
Bas is my favorite fighter ever, shamrock is easily my second favorite, how good was shamrock back then WOW!!!!
Ken's top riding is outstanding. I took almost another 15 years for UFC fighters to reach this level of heavy yet fluent riding pressure. Imagine if Ken was allowed to strike from mount.
Cringe. He was a roided cheat.
Really? You have the confirmed steroids test and urinalysis from ALL his UFC and Pancrase fights before his severe knee injury? Awesome! Can I see it please?
@@Lexthebarbarianu got proof of that nerd?
ROYCE GRACIE did it in UFC 1, so your 15 years claim seems a bit weird.
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor Royce Gracie NEVER faces the caliber of talent that Ken Shamrock did in Pancrase.
Bas is the one of the nicest and deadiest guy ever. Deadly but so humble. Much respect from Finland
My favorite fighter of all time. Bas you could derail trains with those kicks! Had you been in your prime during our current generation of mma you would of been unstoppable. A true titan among men both in and out of the ring, good to see that all those blows over the years haven't lost you any of your charm. You are an exemplary Champion and a Legendary Sportsman. Love this collection of fights and all your commentary. Bas you are the man!
I’d love to watch Bas call Khamzats fights now in 2022!
I love BAS, but to say he would be unstoppable seem a bit absurd given his absolute ZERO ground or takedown defense game. Don't you think?
@@VelhaGuardaTricolor zero ground game? Bas has more submission wins than he has KO wins lmao. And imagine Bas with the training and recovery methods we have now? He started MMA at 28 after his knees were already shot, fighting guys who were much bigger than him. In this day and age, Bas starts his career at 22 and trains at AKA where he can improve his wrestling (his biggest weakness in his career). He would also cut down to middleweight as his fighting weight of 210-215 pounds are similar to what guys like Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori weigh during fight night. I imagine he would be like a shorter, less technical, but more powerful version of Adesanya but with a better ground and submission game.
Bas commentating his own fight, legendary!
Excellent! Ken was such a master and Bas is great for giving him credit. Loved it
God, I'm good looking. Look at me. 14:48
LMFAO!!!!
Aye that was brilliant, Bas is the man
Can’t mess with El Guapo!
I love how he is one of the baddest men alive, and is about to go in and fight against another badass looking to kill him, and he is nervous about the public speaking bit at the start! XD
You're the greatest, Bas!
Looking to kill him? This aint Mortal Kombat Holms. Although Bas might as well be a videogame character
Both guys are good friends
@@alexclark4968 it was just a figure of speech, man
Japan: The only country where you can hear fighters conversing with their cornermen in a speaking voice.
He have it now everywhere we want it or not...
@@bartjaku9174 Yeah, boy. How quickly things changed, eh?
these old fights are awesome.
It`s amazing how quiet the audience is, the atmosphere is so tense. Great fight, great people
I think its part of the mentality in japan. Acient Rome, Greece, Europe, US.... all these are civilized but when they watch sports or whatever attracts their attention, they get caught in the moment and you hear screams of joy or whatever^^
You're a gentleman Bas,, much respect!
REMEMBER TRAINING
remember everything" 17:35
I laughed. Remember training!
@@herrmozart64 : Let's remember that was Bas' Japanese trainer speaking English to his Dutch student while in Japan!
Jonathan Allen Bas had no idea what funaki was talking about, and hands inside lol
Fantastic match, no shame loosing to ken, he was a beast back then.
Bas and Ken are arguably two of the best Pancrase fighters that both were successful in the early UFC. This fight at the time was incredibly important.
Bas Rutten took shootfighting under Masakatsu Funaki but also was one of the early successful strikers in MMA. He used his Shotokan Karate background to prove the effectiveness of open hand strikes as well as a strong Muay Thai kickboxing background that gave him powerful low kicks and brutal knee strikes. He used this effectively for KO's or to beat up and pound fighters then finish with submissions.
Ken was striking COMPETENT but grappling was his forte. At this point, Ken and Funaki had sparred with the Machado brothers against BJj and learned more Sambo submissions (particularly leglockd) from Gokor Chivichyan and learned from Kosen Judo students at the Kosen Judo academy to improve their submissions and ground game. Ken was also a very explosive wrestler from his freestyle wrestling days and learning some basic catch wrestling from Yoshiaki Fujiwara.
This was considered a serious fight in Pancrase style shootfighting at the time. Arguably one of the best striker style kickboxers against arguably one of the best grapplers.
Admittingly, even Ken Shamrock stated in a backstage Pride FC interview, that in this fight "Bas was still learning shootfighting" but it was a tense and exciting fight to watch when it first came out. Everyone wondering would Bas sprawl-and-brawl Ken and liver-shot him to a KO? Or would Ken wrestle Bas down to the ground and submit him?
Still a great fight to watch.
Too long.
@@mattmorris2867Your generation today suffers from short term attention span, how sad
@@ghostttriddder I’m 52 lol. It’s too long.
@@mattmorris2867 Ah, yes. Dementia. I forgive you and I show sympathy for your condition.
@@azraelknightquest5754too long.
I love how Mr Rutton is so humble....much respect to you sir..and you were and are an amazing MMA fighter..love the liver shot
Two legends here, but Mr. Rutten, you're No.1
“God I’m good looking, look at me!” Hahahahaha Bas you rock!
ty for the vids bas, much love. full fights commercial free, with commentary from the legend himself.
Wow, most people just post only their wins - gotta love Bas.
You gotta love Bas. Besides being one of the best i've ever watch, the guy comments his own fight!! And makes fun of himself.
Much love!
I LOVE his commentary! lol
Ken was ahead of his time in this sport. Well trained.
He always lacked fight IQ. He was able to beat Kimo and Severn but Don Frye beat him twice.
@@rotorairgroup8409 Don Frye beat him once in a razor thin split decision after a several year layoff where Ken was in the WWF.
Bas your the greats FIGHTER. of all time.
Corner advice... Remember everything. 😆🤣
Bas is not only a stud fighter, he's as real as rain. Am a huge fan
Funacki means hands inside and on your own neck with your elbows vertically down your chest towards your feet. like the face Kevin makes in the movie home alone when he puts the aftershave on his face. It protects you from most submissions and back in these days when there weren't many TKOs by punching it was a safer tactic.
Thank you for letting me know! That is very interesting!
Is this Funaki that submitted him? He also trained him? Was this anything like sumo stables?
Egglolls From what I have gathered, the guys in pancrase were all very close with one another because it was such a small group. You can find pictures of all of the western guys hanging out together.
Bad Ass Bas, you are such a icon. You are the warrior in a garden. Such humble way of being. Just admire this man.
The audience so polite yet so hype all at the same time.
I watched this fight tensed up the whole time.
11111Co za wytrzymala sila tego w czarnych spodenkach Nie do wiary
Winning and losing with respect for the sport and his opponents. Love Bas Rutten, watched his fights sinse i was a little kid
Damn it! I wish you had 100 more fights that I can watch with you narrating. This is like the 6 time I’ve rewatched all these. Your The Boss Bas
Bas is the best.
Bas the gentleman fighter. Like most of the Dutch fighters. Respect.
Ken dominated this match from start to finish. He took Bas down whenever he wanted and subbed him a few times along the way. MMA has come a long way since the.
Bas had next to no ground training at this point.
@@DjTractus Ken actually carried Bas so the match would last longer. Pancrase really wanted to push Bas because he had charisma and personality so they spent alot time training him. The 2nd time they fought they wanted Ken to put Bas over and he refused. He saw the writing on the wall that they wanted to replace him with Bas as the top gajin because they wanted him to stop fighting in the UFC which he also refused to do. Since Ken wouldn't do the job Funaki and Suzuki spent several months training Bas to beat Ken. The end result was Ken hit a beautiful kneebar very quickly.
@@kyleolson279 yes and like I said above Bas had like no ground training yet. Plus with UFC Ken was a bigger star and wanted more money Pancrase was starting to feel a pinch and Bas couldn't ask for as much yet.
@@DjTractus What? You lost me.
@@kyleolson279 money issues Ken was worth more Bas wasn't yet
Thank you for sharing this, I grew up watching this and it brings back memories.
Much love and respect for taking us through one of your earlier fights.
Ken and Bas....the 2 baddest fighters ever lived!!
As in my age, I’ve seen fights and fights and fights and that was the best commentary of all the fights I’ve ever seen,
2 of my all time favorites. Awesome commentary, very appreciated.
All of this cuddling was heartwarming...
It’s okay, you’re just ignorant as hell
My girlfriend walked in at 8:13 and started throwing some pretty serious accusations my way.
+ronjon83 Sorry it is 4 months late, but she sounds very immature and not too very knowledgeable. Anyone who has no idea about the sport and says such things is ignorant and a bit homophobic. If you have ever fought, you will know right off, it isn't gay. It is PAIN and SUFFERING and not PLEASURE.
It's only gay if you think of it sexually, which would be nonsense.
"hands inside, hands inside"
Dave I'm sorry I'm 2 years late but this is a very common joke and probably didn't actually happen.
Dave so is gay bdsm
I love hearing you explain the details of the fight and what you were thinking, very honest and humble. Such a great fight.
Hey my brother. This is Tim Jones from Okinawa. I appreciate your mentorship. I will always support you. You're a good man!
One of my favorite fights of all time!
great commentary brother... really enjoy hearing the fighters perspective. much respect! thank you for posting!
Love the commentary! Das was “The Boss” in the day! Such an amazing fighter who wasn’t appreciated as much as I thought he should’ve been! Those liver kick strikes were devastating to the opponent!
One of the greatest fighters ever to grace the world of MMA.
Thanks Bas, keep 'em coming, these are great!
Bas, you are an inspiration and the world is much better with you in it
Your humility is so damn refreshing Bas
casually just conversing with his corner during a fight.... Bas is the coolest :)
Not many tough guys realize the stamina and endurance needed for this kind of fighting and grappling
What a fight between two pioneers! 💥 so kick a$$ to here Bas narrating his own fights! 👏
Great Explanation. Such a Humble guy!
My two favorite fighters of all time.
alot off ppl don't know or have forgotten. How good a wrestler shamrock was in his prime before there was a UFC.
So much respect for Bas and his career 💥💪
The referee slide at 4:05 in the background was hilarious
GoT style lol
Splendid MMA pioneers, tons of respect.
Two great champions!
Love these vidoes you've been doing with commentary mate ;)
14:48 lol "God iam good looking, look at me"
Best in the world. Greatest videos on the web. God speed. BAS
great commentary, thx meneer baas :-)
its nice to have an audio walkthrough of whats going on, i have some knowledge of techniques but its great to have the rest explained :)
very good fight, Shamrock is a big master¡
love the random people yelling RUTTENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! :D
Great upload
I was like "wtf, why the commentator says I was, I didn't....Wait! It's Bas!!!!" That is so cool I started watching again =)
These videos are great. some of the best fighters the fathers of the mma game. I can feel the frustration of having a grappler as great and strong as Ken on your every move. Keep these coming. Thank you
I've always been a fan of Bas, never been a fan of Ken. Nonetheless, that was a beautiful transition into the RNC at the end. Just beautiful.
I agree with Koala! So cool....
This is the first Bas Rutten fight I've seen with him narrating it & the first time I have ever heard another fighter actually say "out loud" that he had no idea what their corner was sayin' to him (meaning) during the fight!!
All this time I thought I was the only person that ever felt (frustrated) & experienced that ...it's really difficult to describe (during or after) in calm/relevant words. Thanks, I needed that.
Bas! What awesomeness to commentate this fight! Do all of them!
Bas rutten amazing
Very good commentary, and very humble commentary. 👍
This is so cool. The fight is great but you doing commentary is. Fantastic
Love the heel Palm strikes you had amazing different things in the toolbox
These guys were so damn good on the ground its crazy. Most of ufc today stand and fight.these guys show just as good technique as they have today maybe be better. This is far more entertaining than current ufc
Remember training. Remember EVERYTHING!!! LOL.
Bas rutten, thanks for all your pasión and formidable fighting style, you are the inspiration of all my friends including myself, sorry for my horrible grammar but i do my best, and cant resist to say hello to you my friend, best regards.
Fantastic legends…
14:47 "God! I'm Good Looking! look at me"
Ok I burst out laughing and couldn't focus on the fight bas!! 🤣 🤣
Utterly Hilarious guy
Wish I could meet you one day ❤
I've seen you fight lots of times but I never knew you fought Ken. Great battle , I'm going to catch up on all your fights, Bas. God bless you 🙏
