Summary
Bas Rutten is retired UFC Heavyweight Champion and three-time King of Pancrase world champion. He's a regular on TV, has also appeared in movies, and even makes a cameo in the Grand Theft Auto video game.
It's hard to believe that Bas Rutten, also known as "El Guapo" or The Handsome One, suffered extreme eczema and asthma during his childhood. He was bullied on a regular basis in his native country of Holland. One day when he was on vacation with his family in France, he snuck into the movie theatre to see Enter the Dragon. Bas knew that if he became like Bruce Lee, the bullying would stop. This sparked a passion for martial arts that took him through a glorious career and taught him many life lessons he would pass on to his three daughters. Check out the show notes HERE.
