Oh man it’s gonna take some serious evidence for me to turn on Bas.
Yeah, dude has been an ambassador for the sport for a long time.

Watch the video if you think about it, Bas is like those made for tv pitchmen kinda messed up how Bas kept telling Chris its going to be okay I know the guy he is a stand up guy a good guy and kept vouching for this shady guy and he never paid Leben and even gave Phil Baroni a fake bounced check or something. some of the comments are funny one guy said wow but I bet you Bas sure as hell got paid lol
He speaks more on it here and signed with the legit BK org that Artem and Paulie signed with, with bec rawlings.
Chris said the org he last fought for could have been a ponzi scheme and he is working with some lawyers to sue them including Bas Rutten who was a president of the company. NFL Shawn Merrimen was supposed to fight in that org but they didnt pay him either so he pulled out last minute
Sucks for Chris. All jokes aside, Chris really seems like he’s gonna need looking after in the future and that money would have helped. Hopefully he gets paid. I tried reading Bas’ long ass post on his side of the story but I got a few paragraphs in and seemed like it was bunch of, “who shot John,” complete with code names.
“Let’s call the matchmaker (whom Bas is throwing under the bus) ‘FMM’ and the fighters’ manager let’s call him ‘MGR’.”
I do intend on reading his whole response but I’m not really in the mood right now. If anybody else wants to skim through it, feel free.
Anyone think he is gonna see his monies?
Why do you like him though? I know he has a legion of supporters back then. He used to be in the Goat talks too.Oh man it’s gonna take some serious evidence for me to turn on Bas.
Bas is a hustler, I like his personality though and have no hate for the guy but he is basically a pitchman and a hustler trying to make money off endorsing things that are crappy like his punch man thing that cost like 500 bucks.I never liked Bas. I always thought he was always trying to hustle something and quick to shit on it as soon as it goes down. I can't blame him though since he missed out on any big paydays but he did parlay it with a hollywood gym early in the game.
And that is why Leben said he trusted the organization because Bas always came off as trustworthy ambassador, and he got hurt because Bas assured everyone back in December they would get paid, but its April now and still no money.Yeah, dude has been an ambassador for the sport for a long time.
not likely the way he was covering for him means he had a stake in it, he was the president of the org I believe.Bas was probably screwed over by that other guy too

Most of his image is smoke and mirrors, his main intention in his early 30s was to come to America and be a hollywood action star
watch the look on his face when he fight Randelman, before the fight he looked like he saw a ghost he was finally in a REAL fight, after he got one of the worst robber gift decisions in those times he retires becuase he knew guy slike Vitor and Randy, Don Frye, Tank would destroy him
He fought most of his fights in staged style exhibitions in pancrase against japanese cans who took dives with palm strikes
The funniest thing I ever heard Bas say was Jabs are useless in MMA, he was clowning boxing and said some boxer was trying to teach him to punch properly and Bas claimed he was looking at the boxing trainer and said to himself look ad this fool telling me how to punch and throw a job
Now the Jab is one of the most utilized tool in MMA now, and Bas looked a fool, and everytime his fighter loses he always blames them for not listening lol
