Prime Bas Rutten vs Prime Fedor

[J_Roth]

Bas to me has a legitimate shot at this fight. What say you?

[Beebs]

A guy with horrible takedown defense and suspect ground game is always an easy win for Fedor.

Whats Fedor's biggest strength? Probably ground and pound, which wasn't even allowed in all but 3 of Bas' fights.

His striking is not all that much better, it certainly is not better than crocops.

fedor takes it hands down

Yep.

Bas did always want to fight Rickson.... just lively up the discussion.

I think Bas does beat him up pretty badly for a while but then I can picture Rorians voice in the background "Rickson gets the clinch, takes it to the ground; and the Dutch fighter is helpless."

[Rattler]

Rutten gets demolished here.

Rutten cant match Rickson on the ground & he aint a strong enough wrestler to stop it going there.

Rickson by sub or dare I say GNP.

Bas Rutten is one the best Muay Thai Kickboxers. Of course Fedor takes Bas out in a fight, but Bas striking not much better than Fedor's? You're smoking.

are you nuts, Fedor would demolish him, Prime Fedor would demolish EVERYONE

Bas is not in the top 100 HW Muay Thai kickboxers from Holland whos name starts with a B.

He had 15 Thai fights, none of note.

His Thaiboxing was great against Japanese Shootwrestlers, but he was not, especially in his prime, any sort of actual top striker.

Cro Cop was, Fedor did not do badly against him standing at all, pretty even. Schilt was even better, and even earlier in Fedor's career, no real threat standing at all.

agree...

that is quite a humorous comment,bas is nowhere near regarded as a muay thai great,he is best known for his pancrase achievements..

the great dutch kickboxers are as follows

peter smit
rob kaman
peter aerts
ramon dekkers
ernesto hoost

etc etc
