- Who is Bas Rutten? This is the first basic puncher to achieve success in MMA. This is a guy with killer palm punches, which he used to beat off the liver of his rivals. He spent most of his career in one of my favorite promotions, Pancrase. And today I will show you the best fight finishes of this sports legend, which will prove to you again that the old school is the best school.

Love it my friend, thank you very much, looks great!! Godspeed!
Brother you are the definition of being a fighter, to me like many you are the best of the best, Pure power and determination you are in a league of your own my friend, No 1 will ever be as good as you a true Legend
"If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much"😃
Walking legend
Absolute HERO of the mma world
The Man....
Damn those first couple minutes make him the OG Liver King.
😂😂😂😂
"You can buy muscles, but you can't buy cajones". My favorite Bas quote.
crazy thing is let's be honest here, Bas was cut out of marble...like a fucking Greek statue when it came to muscles. so he definitely had both lol
Which is absolute bullshit. I'd assume he never works out, since muscles are just store bought?
@@skippythealien9627 Not really, he was tiny but got had a good slapping game.
@@michaelmay5453 he might not have had massive muscle mass sure, but the dude was absolutely cut. He didn't have say Arnold's physique, but more so again a throwback to those Greek statues of athletes. still physically impressive either way
@@skippythealien9627I'm a powerbuilder for a reason, the lower the bodyfat the weaker you get.
Bas Rutten is a hall of famer, a champion and still has his brain intact with no signs of CTE. Every time I see him I think of Colin Ferrel as bowlseye
Big respect to those old school Japanese fighters. Those dudes never quit, no matter what. Like you said, doomed or not, a fight was a fight to the finish.
100% I have tons of respect for someone that fights to the end even if they are doomed. Savages just like my Viking ancestors. Some badass modern Samurai.
@@scottkain8977 are u from America?
@@meanieweeny4765 I was born in America. Yes. Why do you ask friend?
@@scottkain8977 he was questioning your ancestry.
@@scottkain8977 see you in Valhalla kain
Bas Rutten is recognized everywhere. Rutten delivered unforgettable fighting performances.
From crushing strikes to nasty guillotines, Bas was a threat to finish at any time.
The bare knuckle stuff is crazy. I would hate to see him go up against folks like Chuck Norris or Superfoot.
The only thing.. ..in pan crase he would grab the Rope and then the referee would stop and stand them up .. he used that to get out of a Leg lock.. other than that he was iron.. Others did that
I've had the honor of designing for Bas in recent years.
His FB cover, CZcams channel art and his Big DVD's of Combat are all my work and I can tell you that working with him and his wife has always been a good experience.
He might have a (well deserved) reputation for his fighting skills but, they're also really nice people and very easy to work with. Truly an honor to have been recommended and chosen to handle his branding.
good he liked it, otherwise he would have smashed your head in the keyboard around 10 times
Very cool friend! I recently had an interesting transaction with my craft as well...I helped create the leather armor Elon Musk bought for Halloween. I'd love to meet Bas though, certainly appreciate those old school guys.
@@ILLBNSANITY that's funny to me, pictures of him in that satanic/anti-christ themed breastplate has been the genesis of MANY conspiracy theories
I boxed for a season in the military. It still blows my mind someone can be so tuned in that they’re timing their hits with your exhale.
At the top end of amateur and pro boxing, MMA, kickboxing and Muay Thai, pretty much everyone is in mint condition. What separates the champions from the rest is their capacity to make real-time, in-fight adjustments in the blink of an eye. They're problem solvers who can act and think under immense pressure - the martial arts equivalent of SF and just as dangerous.
@@davesmith826 Well said sir. Problem solving is indeed a unique skill, especially in fighting.
Then again you would have time your move-in. He doesn't have to because he was already in a clinch, iirc.
The last fight. How the crowd was celebrating the courage of the fighter that lost along with the winner. That is honorable fight culture. I really liked seeing that.
He was a little before my time, I never knew what an absolute legend he was or that there were even fights like this. This video was the first I've ever seen of Bas and im amazed.
You should see his self defence videos... He "bangs" 👌🏻
@@Potts2k8 My favorite is his UFC "victory" over Kevin Randleman. Bas Rutten actually had the nerve to call himself champ after that absurd decision.
He now commentates the fighting sport karate combat, he shares his techniques as well as provides brilliant commentary on some pretty damn good fights
If you like this video, Bas does commentary on all his Pancrase fights and it's really fascinating listening to him talk about what he was seeing in the ring and other behind the scenes stuff that he mentions.
Why are you amazed. This is garbage fighting.
Bas Rutten is a legend! Nice to have a trip down memory lane on some of his best fights
I remember watching Bas fight from early on, the man is one of the best fighters I've ever seen. Technical, powerful, fast and a true old school warrior when it comes to honour in the ring.
Respected him as a fighter . After his retirement , I watched him in interviews. A nice , humble, funny guy . - So now I respect him as a man.
I loved watching him on the show Inside MMA
He does some good self defense videos here and there, cool stuff
Well said. Exactly my thoughts. What a legend.
Remember the bar fight video. He's such a cool funny guy.
He is the man everybody wants to have a beer with.
I’ve never seen another like Bas. His kicks and knees were so vicious and I give a lot of respect to anyone who had the guts to stand in the ring with him. Great compilation. 👍
The only problem with old school fight is that they fight with boots🤦😂
The ring you stand in also makes a huge difference. I respect all of the guys that fought in that championship. All are champions if you ask me.
Check out Cro Cop in Pride 😉
@@AlenBerberovic check out Don Fry. Killing him
There was a little Dutch fella who went to Thailand and tore them up too. Dietrich or something was his name i believe. Real small guy...real big kicks and strikes. Gained a lot of respect from the locals. Lol. Look em up...without his name, I know, sorry.
Ramon Dekkers...you're welcome. Lol
I watched Bas throughout his career. He never backed down or gave up. He was relentless even when totally gassed, and always found a way to dig a bit deeper as was shown in the final fight shown here. Bas had the most wicked liver kicks and palm strikes of any fighter before or since imho.
An unbelievable warrior. Honestly, his skills are only out matched by his heart. You sir are class act. thank you for giving the people an example of how to never give up, how to dig through any weakness and turn it into a strength. your truly the goat. now take care of yourself and live well.
Bas is an absolute legend, it's pretty amazing that a lot of these fighters were able to get up after so many devastating blows. Just shows how tough as nails the old school fighters had to be to even stand a chance in the ring.
Bare knuckles no padding boss
It had alot to do with the fact that the Japanese had a different midset after being raised to revere the samurai code and then disenchanted by bushido wrestling being rigged. So they were hungry for legitimate unscripted fights. Thank goodness two Bushido wrestlers listened and started pancrase or we might have had WWF style UFC early on. Though theres argument for the UFC having now evolved more toward that direction of controlled outcomes. And dont even get me started in on the complete destruction of boxing throughi a total loss of integrity sportwide. ala Don "the self declared" King.
@@exposingtheamericanstasitr3579 true don king ruined boxing
New school guys can be just as tough. The rules for safety kinda ruin it today. Kind of, safety is very important
@@Dad2ADaughter_Cpt_Blakesbeard Safety have nothing to do with fighting. the original ufc was brilliant. modern ufc is like watching boxing= lame
27:09 "Just listen to the audience..." **rock music continues to play**
lol
Was thinking the same ha! That liver shot sound though 🤢
@BasRutten... I sure miss you on Axis TV when you use to cover all the fights .. Your legend and true gentlemen sir. I saw you in Los Angeles once in the early 2000's and I'm handicap ♿️ and you stood by the door to allow me to enter the Hotel. It was a heavy door and I was greatful. I thanked you and you simply did a hiya sound and gave me two thumbs 👍🏽 up. We didn't have phone cameras back then but I have the memory in my head forever. Truly a wonderful guy. Take care and in your famous words GODSPEED .. For me I just say God Bless brother 🙏🏼 take care and yes this video was Bloody Fantastic and you were truly an awesome fighter Bas ✌🏽
27:10 "..just listen to the audience." We can't hear the audience because of the soundtrack you added. Great job.
The only guy on CZcams that has free, useful fighting techniques on his channel and also happens to be one of the best MMA fighters of all time. I love introducing guys double my age to Bas that never even heard of him which is crazy to even think of. Those liver shots are absolutely the most devastating blows. Really shows you how body shots are just as effective as head shots.
He's a nice guy. He's not even close to being on of the best of all times.
If not more
One of my nephews trained in one of Bas Rutten's mma gyms a few years back. I got to meet him once. I can't say he was humble but he was very cool. Very confident. I could feel that I was in the presence of a champion, for sure.
A true warrior
@Aristocrat of the Soul thank you 16 year old person who read the opening of Ride the Tiger and instead larps on youtube comments.
@Aristocrat of the Soul looks like you're gonna learn the hard way.. That is if you even train...
Why on earth would he be humble?!
@@aristocratofthesoul1213
Have you read the _entirety_ of Ride the Tiger?
I remember seeing him on a compilation VHS from blockbuster as a kid...have watched MMA ever since...I wonder how many fans of MMA that's true for..my bet its alot...he deserves more praise than he gets for this!
You have earned the respect of many! Your skill in your profession is inspirational.
You define the statement: Winners don't quit, and quitters don't win!
Thank you for showing your entertaining style and tenacity.
Are you talking to bas? Because this isnt his channel lmao
@@Glimbosgold69 Select sort by Top ... Bas posted here 1 yr ago.
@@RovingPunster thats not even relevant dawg, if he commented on his comment then it would be or if it was his video, but he did neither
He was the first mma fighter I invested in as a fan. One if the greatest ever and a pioneer.
I remember when he released that video about how to win a bar fight too. Absolutely hilarious but lethal too. I messaged him around that time on an email and he replied to me as cool and polite as you could get. Great guy.
Yeah, I was around a bunch of fighters back in the early 2k's and they all looked up to Bas. I always figured he was a class act, albeit a raw one. 👍
I still have the DVD
If Bas cld get in the Delorean and go back in time he cld defeat a TRex and end WW2 WITH 1 OPEN HAND SLAP
I gotta see this DVD. Never knew he done that.
@@EClark-dj7gh it's a treasure. Enjoy. You can probably just do a websearch for bas bouncer training or smethin g like that for some highlights. 👌
Here's what I see. A true professional fighter. Trained, strong, durable, and very very intelligent. More importantly though, he is composed. He allows his intellect to drive the use of his physical gifts rather than emotion. There's no rage, no loss of composure when he finds himself in a more vulnerable position. Though the emotions are obviously present, his mind controls them.
R u writing a book or a comment on youtube?
@@rudykadous4005 Are* you*
Nothing says that more than the look of concern for his opponents when they went down hard. True legend.
Love watching this warrior execute his craft with lethal precision and a full heart. Bravo Sir for your discipline and career.
And Brian Urlacher asked Bas if he wanted to “take this outside” lmao
When I think of Bas, I see him as a pioneer and probably one of the first true martial artist, he came in and kicked butt, they figured him out, exploited his weakness to where he was able to actually morph his game and entered a whole new realm of MMA, the ground game. He was scary to face standing and was a monster in the clinch, and now was a monster on the ground.
Yeah, anyone that says otherwise hasn't a clue what they're talking about. He was as close to the REAL warrior that's in Bloodsport. Frank Dux, from what I understand, wasn't close to it. I would wage $1,000 on the fact that Bas would tear Frank Duxs head off. Also. In Pancrase, or Shoot Fighting is another term for it, they use palms of the hand and open slaps to the head and neck. Bas would knock people out with slaps and palm strikes. I've heard his punching to the head us just a sure KO.
Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do which was a combination of boxing, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and others. The core of JKD was in Lee's words “Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation." Bas Rutten is undeniably one of the baddest Pancrase fighters ever to do it, but "first true" mixed martial artist he was not.
@@CruelWorldVids1 The difference is Bas Rutten really was a fighter and Bruce Lee was an actor. Im not downgrading Bruce Lee because he took the best things from those different martial arts to create an affective style of self defense. When Bas learned about the groundgame there was no completer fighter than him. Rickson Gracie at that time was considered the toughest and most complete fighter in the world but he did not want to fight Bas. Even when Bas publicly challenged Rickson the Gracies declined.
He got fucked up in UFC though. And then negative drug test
@@bohemenper1636 How did he get fucked up in the UFC?
One of the most respectful and humble fighters. When he made mistakes he owned up to them but he always worked to better himself. Always caring about not going to far with his opponents always checking to see if they were OK. Hands down when of my top 3 fighters of all time.
Agree with you, but at the same time he seems to aim for the liver in almost every punch and kick...
@@rickardw3280 his occupation was a fighter, not a masseuse
That was just an awesome video and display of what REAL fighting is. I never really followed Bas Rutten but after watching this he without a doubt was probably the best and most viscous fighter of his time. LOVED IT thanks for sharing.
This was the best fighting matches I have ever seen in my life. Honor to all fighters who even enter such a brutal ring. This is true cqc combat. Loved it. These fighters have great skill and physical control over their martial art and pain threshold. Awesome stuff.
This is why I love CZcams, It's the best place to go and see people excel at what they do. I have never heard of Bas Rutten but really enjoyed watching this video of a man who was the best at what he did. Awe inspiring!
Same😄
He also played in film Here Comes The Boom
If you never saw any of his fights, you don’t know what you missed! You should look some of them up. If you’re a true fight fan, you’ll love them! You can thank me later!😀
@@galaxygalaxy4429 The guy is hilarious too. Look up Bas Ruttens self defense videos. hilarious
@@MitchJohnson0110 Ok I'll check it out. I like Bas Rutten😉
Bas is the OG MMA Goat & still one of the baddest dudes walking earth💪🏼
Best fighter I saw in my life! He fights like a leopard, always with full power, ready to kill! Thanks for filming it!
Bas has always been amazing! This is a fitting tribute to his tenacious skills and commitment. Thank you for the chance to see this,
I have seen this guy promoting karate combat. My initial impression was that he was a good mma kind of ufc fighter. This is beyond that. I didnt even think this combat sport excisted, let alone that he was a champion of one of the most brutal sport with guys that seems to eat nails for breakfast
AND... he managed to win the UFC HW belt.
Dude Bas is a literal legend of MMA. "Good fighter" doesn't quite cut it.
This was mma just under a different ruleset. UFC, PRIDE, and ONE are all mma with different rulesets. Bas was truly a great fighter in all respects.
Bro don't tell me you've never heard of kickboxing before lol 😆
I did full contact karate which was basically kickboxing proper sparring with punches and kicks to the head we also could enter karate competition, not all karate is usless in a fight
I think it's even most impressive when despite the fame the guy stays humble and down to earth. Total respect.
That's what kept him developing not degrading
This man did every thing right👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👀👍👀👍👀👍
You have introduced me to one of the greatest mixed fighters of all time. I am so honored to have been able to witness a fighter such as the Great BAS RUTTEN! AVE BAS RUTTEN!
Not just a Champion but a humble and well respected man!!
Didn’t realize how good Bas was at jujitsu. Had heard his palm heal strikes were like hammer blows, and his kicks and knees striking was like being hit by a car. He has to be one of if not the best fighters in history.
I saw him as a teen holidaying in Belgium. Them hits will make you ears ring for days, the man was always at 200% volume.
Better than Bruce lee for sho
He was far from the best,had only a few mma fights where he dis well.Pancrase featured a lot of faked matches,you can clearly see it in grappling exchanges.Nobody considers pancrase real mma.
He's amazing! Every time I have seen him on TV and he was approached by a commentator he is a nice guy. He is a man outside the ring and a warrior in it. So many people in this sport can't do that.
Thank for showing,,,I never knew about pancras! It's pretty awesom! Bas was a bad man!!!
That last fight was brutal! Much respect to both fighters...they both possessed an indomitable will
I distinctly remember buying the only Pancrase PPV we ever got here in America. I was ALL about it, obsessed with shoot fighting from the initial UFC events & just young enough that the nearly 15 minute introductory video explaining all of the rules of Pancrase wasn't annoying, but intriguing. I VHS taped that single PPV & watched it over & over again, waiting for the next event to be offered & never seeing one
bas was without a doubt the toughest fighter ever to enter the ring. my all time favorite. we miss his show.
Man has incredible combat IQ and is such an impressive technical fighter. His physicality doesn't hurt, but his sheer intelligence makes him one of the best there is.
he is super nice, just saw him at my work recently. Down to earth humble guy, was on his way to church
Well he was pretty damn fast to.
yea that rope grab when his opponent grabbed his leg was amazing, even his opponent was like "wtf bas" and bas just throws his hands up and says "thems the rulez kid"
The respect I have for this man, can't be put into words🙏
He's my favorite fighter, a true pioneer, but beyond that he's just one hell of a dude.

Nobody should ever forget his ring accomplishments as an MMA legend!
I wasn't an mma fan at the time. To be honest, the first time I saw BasRutten was in the movie Boom. I loved his character in the movie, then I saw him on Joe Rogan and realized, this guy is a legend. Did a deep dive on his career and I'm now a huge fan. What a monster! Now I'm a big fan of mma.
Pan was the format of MMA. Pan is way harder since you can't stomp people in the face with a closed fist etc
Great video, really shows off the skills of such a excellent fighter. Ty!
That was intense. I love the commentary too. Just a good half hour of my time. Thanks
Great collection of Bas fights. The man is a world class legend! Narration was perfect. Frank Shamrock, also a class act, made for a hell of a mix. Excellant work here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Merry Christmas. Great comment.
Bah!
I could take him....
Bus ruten the best fighter
I have never heard of Pancrase but I agree with the narrator that this was an elite, top tier fighting organization! Holy shit those liver shots were BRUTAL!! Totally underused technique in today's UFC and others.
Its like wwe in usa. Staged but at early days people believed in it. Look at all Bas oponents. Pure joke. Its like Ronaldo between players from Slovakia. No hate to Slovakia of course
No gloves hurts the liver a lot more

@@porscheclub9672 it wasnt totally legit shooting,there were some arranged fights.Dan never fought in pancrase and ken was a basic grappler in those days.The dude is right bas fought a bunch of nobodys but was elite himself.Certainly pancrase was nothing like WWE,everyone could fight to some degree.
Thanks for seeing this again MASTER Bas at work
Literally one of the most dangerous men to ever walk this earth. Great guy!
One of the most dangerous fighters ever. LYING SPINELESS SELF-SERVING GOP POLITICIANS are far more dangerous!

Wow! This man is a tank, amazing athlete. 👏
A true living legend in martial arts 💪👊
Huge respect for Bas Ruten (and the guys he fought) and Pancrase. Some of your best work. Thank you.
Most people who know something about the history of mixed martial arts know that Bad was beaten several times early in his career by people with jujitsu experience. People who could go for the neck or an arm lock or an ankle or knee continued to beat him for a while until he decided to figure out how to do it himself. Then he became so much deadlier.
Incredible fighter, great content. Keep it coming man!
you had me glued king
Bas... one of the greatest. people forget about the days before UFC and other similar MMA organizations. I talk about Marco Ruas and Vanderlei who fought in underground circuits before this sport went mainstream like it is today. Hats off to you El Guapo Mr. Rutten. true warrior.
King of the streets Ruas was an awesome fighter.
Mario Sperry is another one of those guys
Crazy I never heard of this man till now, and Brutal is an accurate discription of his attacks. The respect they show during those fights is great to see. The Japanese fighters have amazing will to keep going no matter what, seriously impressive.

One of the OGs, one of the greatest..... He is the reason I started my training.... He is freaking awesome and lethal.... :-)
One of my deepest regrets as a fight fan, was that Pacrease was so hard to view in America. Imagine how much more respect(he already gets a ton) Bas Rutton would get in the fight game had his great Pacrease fights been seen in America.
I did a few lessons at his MMA gym during my time in LA. I couldn't keep it up because I couldn't afford it regularly, but I was able to get into one of the few classes he taught every month or so. During the class, he went around during the light sparring warm ups and watched each pair for a little bit before giving some advice on how everyone could capitalize on their strengths or mitigate for some of the weaker parts of their fighting skill repetoire. It was really insightful to me at the time since I'd been defaulting to my grappling techniques because of my lack of confidence in my striking at that time.
cool story
13:41 The look on homeboys face… holy crap you can tell this was a pain he’s never felt before. My man saw heaven for a couple seconds there

I like to think the commentator for this channel has talked and sounded like this since he was a child.
Even when he's ordering pizza, he still speaks like this. With verbal commas.
I love it.
Great video, editing was spot on! Thanks!!
Fantastic video compilation. Bas is a warrior with integrity, respect for his opponents and does not look for excuses/shortcuts. One of the best of all time.

I am almost more amazed by the courage of those who faced him than by his incredible effectiveness and power.
Well said.
Yes, they were brave, I’d be scared by bas, he’s a powerful and effective man.
One of my top 5 favorite fighters of all time. Bas was born a 1,000 years after he was supposed to. I see Bas on a battlefield somewhere swinging a giant axe with a bear skin cape. Savage.
Warriors are never born…they are reborn
