In a street fight in his prime Bas would win. Both prime in a MMA fight Cheal would grind him out easily. Different time periods in the game, Bas was first wave. Cheal was complete 2/3rd wave. Totally different levels of competition.

      Wally Morgan,
      Indeed. I don't know much about him or who he is, or even about UFC or MMA, but once I started listening to him in this video I could not stop until the end, enjoying it all the way.
      I kept getting the feeling that he is way smarter than I will ever be (and being over 70 I know I'm on the downhill side), so he must be a good enough fighter to have not gotten hit in the head much. I especially appreciated how he uses just enough words to say what he means, and no more, like a very good artist painting a picture, or musician writing a song. Enjoyable.

      @Jack Burton that is not a complete or fair picture of him. Yes, he was dominated when he first met wrestling so he went away and learned some. In the truest sense of a mixed martial artist he recognised his weakness and started incorporating it into his arsenal.
      So, to the original comment, Bas would be a monster if he came up now. Because he would study all the things that are normal nowadays. He was always open to new things. Listen to his talks about distance, tempo, traps etc and you soon realise he is no ordinary fighter.

      useless trivia: Guapo means good looking, in every spanish speaking country. Of course it can have a second meaning depending on the country you are using the expression El Guapo, but i dont remenber any argentinian using it in that way.

    Bas Rutten, with the liver shots and strategic principles he displayed in the Japanese Pride fights, might be the ultimate warrior on all levels. How can a man with such courage and ferocious kicking power also be gifted with such a charismatic persona? Even sublime thinker, German philosopher Nietzsche, I'm sure would have been a Bas fan, and sat front row to watch this UFC "laughing, lion" in the arena work his craft.
    Keep the stories and lessons from Bas coming Chael. We can all learn from Bas in fighting and in life, echoing the words of troubadour singer, Jimmy Buffett, in the song Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes "..that if we couldn't all laugh, we would go insane." Martial arts bow of respect to you Chael for showcasing Bas stories!!!!
