Martial arts legend Bas Rutten has been involved with Karate Combat since its inception, being an ambassador to the sport and providing fight commentary. Bloody Elbow had the opportunity to catch up with the UFC’s former heavyweight champion on the set of Karate Combat 37 at the back lot of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Rutten talked about the growth of Karate Combat, from when it first debuted in 2018 to where it is now. Bas also talked about what career path he would have chosen had he not chosen the martial arts route.
“I’m a chef,” said Rutten when asked on where his life might have gone had he not become a professional fighter.
