In a bonus interview this week, Bas Rutten, the legendary MMA figure, sits down with Tim Wheaton of MMA Sucka to discuss Karate Combat and more.
We talk how Karate Combat differs from standard Kyokushin Karate competitions and Kickboxing competitions. We talk about the upcoming events on Saturday, May 28th, Saturday, June 11th, and Saturday, June 25th. We break down who is competing at these events and how to watch it all on Karate.com. He tells us about how he truly feels about Georges St. Pierre and Stephen Thompson.
We also discuss Bas Rutten on why he entered MMA and not Kickboxing, and would he have entered Karate Combat if available. We also discuss the legendary years calling PRIDE FC and some of his favorite moments. He tells a story about a drinking contest against Antonio Inoki after a PRIDE event.
