LondonRingRules Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 --- As might be expected, I love the ancient genre and Bas looks to take it out of the backwoods and warehouses into the PPV light with credible rules. Could he challenge the UFC and boxing? Bas Rutten to host inaugural bareknuckle PPV on Nov. 9 - The Ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Re: UFC's Bas Rutten brings bareknucks to PPV! --- BTW, Bas compiled an incredible MMA record and was probably the best striker of the bunch until UFC fighters started to catch on more to boxing, and Bas was partially self taught in the totality of his skills! He seems a rather easy chap to get along with, but his brawls outside of boxing, principally in bars where tough guys want to challenge him are legendary. I would rather bank of fleeing for my life rather than have to face this. Went into kick boxing as a 20 year old and went 14-2, 14 KO! Recruited into the Japanese Pancrase League as a raw rookie, the precursor to MMA and UFC, and promptly rose to the top enough to be considered the best ever. Then recruited into the MMA/UFC leagues where his record is a stellar 28-4-1 with 12 TKOs, 13 submissions, and 4 decisions with his 4 losses being by 3 submissions and 1 decision, where again he was a novice learning on the fly against the cream of the experienced fighters. Then he moved into Japanese wrestling for his "elder" years. Wow, and so many other accolades and certifications, that if anyone can turn bareknucks into the newest combat sport darling, it has to be him. Good Luck!

repsac Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Re: UFC's Bas Rutten brings bareknucks to PPV! Color me interested. I believe he talked about this a bit on the Joe Rogan podcast a little while back. They were discussing how a fighter would punch differently without a glove to protect their fist.

Cableaddict Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Re: UFC's Bas Rutten brings bareknucks to PPV! I fear this will not end well. There's a good reason bare knuckle was made illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Re: UFC's Bas Rutten brings bareknucks to PPV! I'm thinking of starting a new league, in which 10 contestants all snort pcp, then enter the ring with baseball bats. Last man standing wins. - Tell me this wouldn't sell!
