Bas Rutten demonstrates his version of a neck crank / body crunch in this MMA how to video.
did bas rutten and fedor ever fight? i would like to see bas rutten and anderson silva as well.
MMA Legend? I aint heard of him, he didnt even have mma gloves on when he showed the move.
I think ill try the torture rack next time I visit my gym.
Bass!!! I wonder if he’ll ever fight again, his last battle was about two years ago where he made short work of a guy. I’ll like to see the old timers go at it bass vs randy. He has tattoos on both his palms, man that’s something, probably from his glory days in pancrase.
If you haven’t heard of Bas Rutten then you are a fucking disgracae and should quit watching and practicing all forms of MMA.
Well, it appears that “Black Gerbil” doesn’t know everything worth knowing about MMA. How do you not know who Bas Rutten is? And why the hell would he have to have gloves on when showing a grappling move?? That makes no sense dude.
To the two people who posted before me… WTF???
MMA Legend? Definitely! Learn some history of the sport.
Did he fight Fedor? No. Bas was before Fedor.
Will he fight Anderson? No. Bas for the most part is a commentator and trainer these days.
buddy how can you be on this site and not know who bas rutten is
epic fail noob gerbil
LOL..dont be baited by Black Gerbil, it only makes him worse.
very cool crusifix style move..
I’m pretty sure Bas has stated that he will definitely not be fighting again.
He said something along the lines of “I miss the fighting, but I don’t miss the aches pains and injuries that are part of it, especially at my age”
EL GUAPO!! You gotta love him. Interesting kneck crank, i like that
I agree with will on this one.
I’m pretty sure that Black Gerbil only recently got interested in MMA after Spike started showing UFC.
Bas beat some good fighters in his heyday like Frank Shamrock and Kevin Randleman. I think he was a UFC champ at one point too. Like Mute said, he’s better known now as a commentator and a trainer. He trains Kimbo Slice now. Apparently he also trains Kevin James, the actor from King of Queens.
I was playing GTA IV the other day and I heard Bas Rutten talking on the radio IN THE GAME!!
“I don’t believe in eye for an eye…I believe in TWO eyes for an eye..and an ear!…and a nose!!”
Black Gerbil is just a troll. he’s been playing dumb and trying to piss people off for like a year now.
anyway, does this move just cause pain or can it actually damage your opponent? like if they don’t tap will something brake (like with an arm bar)?
Dude Bas Rutten was a pioneer of this sport and back then was considered one of the top guys. I think he was UFC champ too until an injury happened or something. Nowadays he does commentary for MMA.
bas was ufc champ winning over kevin randlman, it went to decision and was questionable, randleman took bas down at will but bas was busy from his back but couldent keep it on the feet. this was at heavywieght and he never defended the title and moved to middleweight. but bas is a ledgend, no doubt about it. he is a mma staple in the sport.
also bas does star in grand theft auto 4. if you go into nino’s apartment and watch the tv you will find a cool tv show there where bas is staring in a funny show(totally bas rutten all the way) i thing he plays him self in it or maybe the world famous el guapo.
Black Gerbil1 Says >> “MMA Legend? I aint heard of him”
(( W.T.F. ))
Maybe it’s because he didn’t have his gloves on — and without these iconic items you just quite simply didn’t recognize him?
: ))
bas rutten is the shit..
“kick him in the faace.”
wow, i’m baffled @ the number of people who have no clue who El Guapo is. Any true MMA fan knows who Bas Rutten is, he is one of the greatest fighters of all time, as well as one of the best trainers. Not to mention he’s the coolest and nicest guy in the known universe.
I hope Bas teaching random ESPN viewers how to cripple opponents doesn’t get the wrong reception.
WAR RUTTEN!
i want to see the fight he used this in!
im gonna try that in open mat tommorrow looks good
So if Bas was before Fedor how come they both fought Randleman?
El Guapo is the man.

“So if Bas was before Fedor how come they both fought Randleman?”
Randleman was Bas’s last fight before he retired and Fedor went pro afterwards.
I haven’t seen the Bas TV show in GTA IV. I’ll have to check it out! Thanks, Bob73.
x2468: “does this move just cause pain or can it actually damage your opponent? like if they don’t tap will something brake (like with an arm bar)?”
im still wondering.
x2468. I’m not an expert but it looks like you would pass out or possibly get brain damage is bas was the one doing it lol.
Thanks principal I never knew that. I used to watch cage fighting as a kid back when there was only one round fights. But I didn’t know about pride when bas was there. I found out about him later.
I love Bas, I bet he came up with that one during a fight… he’s hilarious.
Love Bas. Wish he’d get in the ring again — no one kicks like him these days =(.
Bas is the man. Best commentator in any sport, IMO, and one of the all time greatest fighters.
Did anybody see his fight in 2006? He fought a nobody, but he looked really impressive, actually messing up the guy’s leg with kicks so bad that he couldn’t stand on it anymore. I wish he’d make another comeback.
john looks like din thomas.
