[thisisoneidea]

bas is drunk

[triton2toro]

You know how you know you are a badass? When you give YOURSELF a nickname and EVERYONE goes along with it.

"Hey guys, from now on I want you to call me "Big Dog".

"STFU Tim."

[sebah1991]

@triton2toro he didnt give himself the nickname. He said in a later interview that the Frank Shamrocks wife first called him that.

[nafaka12]

@triton2toro i once made a joke and now a friend of mine always calls me master big dick

[ASSBANG6969]

Good thing he didn't say "Cabeza de huevo".....( EGG HEAD ).....

[TheGreatWhimsy]

This is one of the greatest mma fights ever and more people dislike than liked?

[pryzed1]

Haha, Sounds like something Peter Griffin would say just randomly.

[eddiereyes1988]

Why didnt no body like that vid??

[GovernmentGuy]

El Guapo from 'The Three Amigos'?

[JustaEropeanGuy]

@GovernmentGuy yeah I was thinking the same thing when I heard it

[GovernmentGuy]

@JustaEropeanGuy - Lol That was 1 funny film xD

[JustaEropeanGuy]

@GovernmentGuy Are gringos falling from the sky? Yes, El Guapo!

[GovernmentGuy]

@JustaEropeanGuy - Lol xD I'm gonna buy the DVD from eBay right now! I haven't seen it in years - they just don't know how to make comedy films like that anymore :)

[JustaEropeanGuy]

@GovernmentGuy good on ya

[InnocenceExperience]

@GovernmentGuy without looking up @JustaEropeanGuy 's comment, I bet he is talking about the three amigos!

[InnocenceExperience]

@GovernmentGuy oh no it was you haha @JustaEropeanGuy  great film. 'my little buttercup has the sweetest smile'

[ftballfrk]

@GovernmentGuy do you have a plethora of these videos :P

[JustaEropeanGuy]

@ftballfrk would you say he has a plethora of videos?

[panther2552]

@JustaEropeanGuy yes i would say he has a plethora el guapo!!

[GovernmentGuy]

@ftballfrk ..WHAT is a plethora? :P

[ftballfrk]

@GovernmentGuy why el guapo ?

[GovernmentGuy]

@ftballfrk Cuz you told me I had a 'plethora', and I would just like to know if YOU know what a plethora is.. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone that they had a plethora, and find out that person has NO IDEA what it means to have a plethora :D

[Secundas]

@GovernmentGuy Yes. Bas was having dinner with some other fighters, and one of their wives spoke Spanish. He was a fan of Three Amigos and asked her what El Guapo meant. She said 'It means the handsome one.' Everyone laughed and started joking around, calling Bas El Guapo. That's how it started.

[leonardotakhien]

was that dude with red hair jet li?

[Leondrius]

@leonardotakhien LOL. Sakuraba

[DMTwannaB]

Due to the EA MMA game the "loading time facts" says he became El Guapo after a dinner in Japan alongside other MMA fighters.

[skatertuber123]

he god his name during breakfast with other fighters in japan.

[gav12c]

@skatertuber123 yep, he asked ken shamrock's wife what "el guapo" meant, she said "the handsome one" and since bas is a cocky prick it stuck.

[MrJonplane]

@gav12c nobody loves you

[Arodblade]

B*tch don't interrupt El Guapo while he's speaking1

[JordyBT]

Bas was given that name in Japan by some fighters.

[gowdaflow]

Beside meaning handsome for some, the term "El Guapo" for some hispanic cultures also means courageous, or fearless.. as it does for us.

[fyte4luv808]

it's actually El Guacamole

[bertybollocks]

It means the handsome one

[alan513]

so wuts an EL Guapo mean? God of MMA? Lord of Stage? or wut?

[bangermccrusher]

@alan513 it means " the handsome one" in spanish

[MissTeenPregnancy]

bas is so fucking funny -love that guy

[virtualsnake1994]

el guapo the grappler lol stupid commentator...

[panther2552]

@virtualsnake1994 not everyone knows spanish bro.

[Krumpenstein]

Wow, Royce is ridiculously flatfooted.

[HawaiianWarrior100]

@knucklechukka sakuraba is a great fighter but out of all da gracies I tink ricksons da best one das my opinion but I love sakuraba u should chek out sakuraba vs Carlos newton if ur a grappling fan

[Kaito66666]

wTF 

[HawaiianWarrior100]

Rickson gracie is da best Gracie Chek em out bra

[knucklechukka]

@HawaiianWarrior100 naw sakuraba is by a long shot AND he didnt need the extra handles a gi has to offer

[alwaysApril1st]

El-guapo looked tired like he got his ass el-whoopdo

[XXNeMo818XX]

Sakuraba the Gracie Hunter!!!

[spartankk]

jajajajja yeah! guapo!

[Klootjee]

epic moment

[snakerman2612]

the grappler'!?

[racingmylife15]

A match? you mean two of the greatest grapplers in mma history? (there are the best except for rickson of course and maybe roger gracie)

[Drunkwraith]

@racingmylife15 I think Roger is the best personally. He hasn't lost a grappling match since 2005 which is ridiculous even for a gracie. He definately will be the best before long though. Hopefully he'll fight fighters worth mentioning though unlike Rickson did.

[racingmylife15]

@Drunkwraith he is the best at this moment. But rickson is the greatest of all time...Roger has lost many times...no disrespect of course...he's amazing

[Ljenkins9000]

@racingmylife15 "he is the best at this moment. But rickson is the greatest of all time"

I'd have to disagree with you there. Look at the people Rickson's fought. He fought nothing but cans who had records like 1-6. Sure, he had one fight with Funaki, but you have to actually fight battles to prove you're "the greatest of all time". Only Fedor has a claim to that title, having completely dominated the entire MMA world undefeated for a decade.

[racingmylife15]

@Ljenkins9000 I totally agree Fedor is the best MMa fighter ever, but i wasn't talking about MMA. I was talking about grappling only. And in grappling, I think Rickson is the best. Even better than marcelo garcia and Roger Gracie. I would have liked to see Rickson face tough opponents. maybe prime Wanderlei Silva?

[Ljenkins9000]

@racingmylife15 Ah ok. In that case I take back everything I said. He definitely is a contender for "greatest grappler ever", although I seriously doubt his inflated record. Another problem for him was that he was already pretty old by the time MMA really got going.

[racingmylife15]

@Ljenkins9000 I never really pay attention to his record. What does it for me is for example a video in which he's rolling with royler (not the demo video). he tapped him out like 5 times in 10 minutes. back then, royler was the pretty much unbeatable guy (until he was tapped by eddie bravo). seeing royler, someone who's so great, get manhandled makes me think rickson's the best. but you can never rule guuys like rickson, roger, marcelo or olav einemo out!

[Ljenkins9000]

@racingmylife15 Oh I know he's purported to be perhaps the greatest BJJ player of all time (with the exception of maybe Rolls or Helio?), I just wish he actually fought real fights in MMA.

[killedonacarousel]

what an amazing time in mma goyce gracie and kazushi sakuraba. i wish i could go back to that time and watch those fights all over again. great times with friends watching two true mma artists.

[Drunkwraith]

@killedonacarousel Yeah it was before wrestlers like GSP, Jon Fitch, Frankie Edgar etc. took over and starting getting decisions on everyone. It was real fighters that don't give a fuck like Wanderlai, Cro Cop, Vovchanchyn. UFC has Cain Velasquez repping them now though, and I think he could very well be the next Fedor. TKO in the first round of a championship fight by verbal submission is fucking sick.

[JewKurlz]

@b7i7l7i7y7 Actually just to clarify it was ken shamrocks wife or franks not sure witch one but it was someone's wife it would be weird if kevin called him the hansom one

[assasin887]

joyce gracie is gangster

[zbarneyz]

The grappler!? you really know your Espanol ;P

[b7i7l7l7y7]

In an interview with Mike Straka Bas says that Kevin Randleman called him El Guapo one night and the next day everyone was calling him that.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

@b7i7l7l7y7 Well, this was the first time I saw it mentioned during an event, so I posted it.

[snakerman2612]

great fight, those guys must have loose weight like running 2 marathons in a row

[snwbrderboi03]

@b7i7l7l7y7 he got the nickname when he was at a breakfast with a group of fighters in japan and they were messing with him trying to teach him the language and the name el guapo was born.

[FreekyDeeky21]

Royce looks like he's wearing a gi and belt they use in Karate.

[youtert]

Is it pronounced gwappo or wappo?

[DreadG91]

@youtert el wuapo ese

[cryingindian]

@youtert gwappo:)

[virginiabjj]

@ilovesilvia69 ...your name says it all you fag. You seem to refer to gayness a lot, get your daily dick sucking in? Anyways, your just a hater :)

[44rumblefish]

Wow! Im a BJJ man; even was fortunate enough to to train with Relson Gracie at one of his schools. I am embarrassed for you guys, and I'm fairly sure most of the Gracie's would be, too. I know you guys just lost your heads there for a little while. But, yes, there are a lot of kids who watch these videos to "learn" and a few adults, also. We can do better than this, guys. Really. This is not being good proponents for any of the arts.

[Samboussr]

Wow! Look at Royce Gracie Fighting System GJJ -BJJ, he got his butt kick by Sakuraba!! and what was that side kick, I call it girl side kick with no power!

[mthai66]

He used it before that

[XXNeMo818XX]

Ah, awesome fight, the Gracie hunter! Gotta love Sakuraba, making Royce look Awful! Watch the full fight, Sakuraba just OWNS!

[ilovesilvia69]

Royce Gracie is a bitch!!!!!!

[NightManiacs]

he revolutionized mix martial arts you fucking moron

pay homage

[ilovesilvia69]

No, he didn't. Gracie is a gay scrawny roid using leg humper.

[NightManiacs]

he is the reason why every mma fighter knows bjj

dumb little bitch

[ilovesilvia69]

There's a lot of mma fighters that don't know bjj, actually.

Dumb little bitch.

:]]

[NightManiacs]

no you fucking moron

they all train BJJ, whether they decide to use it, they train it

anderson silva trains it

gsp

bj penn

machida

shogun

anyone who was ever champ, even brock, they all train it because of royce, pay homage you cunt faggot bitch

[ilovesilvia69]

Yes, you fucking moron. Of coarse all MMA champions have BJJ. LMAO It's MMA we're talking about. But your dumb ass is saying "every mma fighter knows bjj", when in reality im sure there are quite a few that don't. That's right, "they all train it because of royce", so in essence, if Royce was never born maybe there would be less leg humping these days :]] If you're gonna pay homage, pay it to a bad ass striker like Buakaw, not some scrawny leg humper, you cunt faggot bitch.

[NightManiacs]

goddman you are a fucking dumb ass bitch

every mma fighter trains BJJ,whether its alot or just a little bit,they all train it, & if they dont, then they probably suck ass &if you want to argue&say not every fighter trains BJJ then okay fine,just the good ones train BJJ the sucky ones dont, which is stupid BJJ is a very important aspect of fighting, & leg humping? i mean if thats what you see when you see BJJ than you are a fan of the wrong sport & maybe you should watch kickboxing instead bitch

[ilovesilvia69]

You sir, are a dumb bitch. You're wrong. I love MMA! I just dispise gay little pussy BJJ players that are afraid to fight.

[virginiabjj]

@ilovesilvia69 you are a fucking moron, i hope a bjj guy breaks your fucking arm to bits

[ilovesilvia69]

You BJJ players sure curse a lot. Nobody is breaking my arm. LOL

[virginiabjj]

what are you? tae kwon do? go fuck yourself

[ilovesilvia69]

How can one be a martial art? LMAO Im human, sir. And in case you were wondering, I do Muay Thai. Stop cursing. There's children around.

[virginiabjj]

children? where are the children, moron.

[virginiabjj]

ilovesilvia is jealous he got his ass kicked by a bjj guy and then got his girlfriend stolen. no hard feelings

[ilovesilvia69]

@virginiabjj That will never happen and BJJ guys don't get girls. They get aids from there BJJ humping boyfriends.

[CodyAllenmusic]

Nope, you're an idiot.

[roflcoptersaurus]

bjj fighters do fight, they stand toe to toe in front of their opponents and fight them on the ground.

to win a fight without throwing a single punch.. those people deserve some respect

[SwatXX12]

@roflcoptersaurus right.

[themeaningoflife38]

Bas said that Ken Shamrock's first wife Tina gave him that nickname.

And also this clip is from the Pride 2000 GP,Sakuraba & Gracie fought for 90 min no rules no judges until Gracie finally quit.Sakuraba then continued in the tournament after a 90 min fight.

[killed4ever1]

@themeaningoflife38 bas rutten got his nickname after having breakfast ....(search it up if u dont believe)

[themeaningoflife38]

@killed4ever1 I heard it from Bas himself that Tina Shamrock started it.

[tomrichugpeltho]

I like how in the middle of the MMA fight of the century, Bas just suddenly tells everyone that he is now "EL Guapo"

[D21UpstateNY]

@tomrichugpeltho royce who? im am el guapo!

[itchix]

@tomrichugpeltho

well when the fight goes for a fking hour, you have to think of something to say :P

[yeee941]

My Kickboing coach told me that  Sakuraba trained in some GJJ,So he could defend against it.

[local282forlife]

I think you meant "BJJ"??

[JustaEropeanGuy]

Gracie JiuJitsu

[local282forlife]

Okay.

[LuigiBatetongPhD]

this is royce gracie right?

[JustaEropeanGuy]

yes

[v1pon]

EL GUAPO = THE HANDSOME which is a nickname that Bas' first fiance nicknamed him.

[darta69]

Bas is one of the guys talking. Royce anda Sakuraba are the ones fighting.

[ILLUMANOV]

EL GUAP WHO?

[mefistcry]

only resistence

[kanemura93]

During this fight you have lots of time to come up with nicknames, write your biography, watch the JFK movie and raise a kid :) Longest fight ever, it seems like

[SamuraiZach0]

@kanemura93 it was the longest fight in mma history, that I know of anyways

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

I'd like to see El Guapo on Dora the explorer, due to the Spanish name.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

How so?

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

That fox character could be leg barred.

[revcom301]

Is that the best fight in MMA history? Most tactical?

[JustaEropeanGuy]

Freaking awesome avatar, dude! I have no clue what the best fight is. I guess I like the one with canadian dude - Carlos Newton vs Daijiro Matsui. That was verry fun. Not sure how technical it was.

[panther2552]

if not the best then definitely the most important.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

For some people it deffinetly WAS one of the more important fights of that era, not me tho.

[panther2552]

true, it is a subjective matter.

It had two major points for me. It was the initial turning point in MMA where well rounded fighting showed dominance over mastery of only one discipline.

second, this is true origin where MMA started going mainstream. something like 90k in attendance, huge ppv buyrates and dvd sales. It was a great show as a whole, but this was THE match everyone wanted.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

In that sence it was quite an important fight

[iamjason]

Greatest day of Sakuraba!!

90 minus of MMA history!

[JustaEropeanGuy]

totaly

[novan08]

haha.. funny as hell. This fight went for THAT long the commentators started going on about their own shit.

[JustaEropeanGuy]

Totaly. It was an hour or even more. I dont' even remember any more.

[novan08]

lol i think it was two and a half. Saku is the man.

[puts8346]

3 rounds of 30 minutes

[kanemura93]

6 rounds of 15 I think

[puts8346]

you are right ;-) i googled it :-)

[eggbertsmith]

FIRST!!!!

...beeeeyatches!

[qzero000]

you are gay.
