Bas Rutten is Dutch, not Thai, little buddy. And in fairness, Bas plants his foot when he kicks, without pivoting, so it is different from a Muay Thai kick. :-D

lol who said he was thai?

[Darugon92]

they are comparing MMA kick with muay thai knee and kick. 1:27

Bas is a full blown heavy weight striker. He looks about 50-60lbs heavier than the Thai fighter. That probably has more to do with the result than the fighting genre.

Wait a minute, don't MMA fighters USE muay thai kicks?

Obviously the producers don't understand that "MMA" is a generic term. It simply means mixed martial arts. A collection of the best techniques from several styles. So I guess if Lyoto Machida, who comes from a Shotokan Karate background, were selected instead of Bas, his kick would also be called an "MMA kick".

Gotta love bas rutten. He can make you laugh then kick your face off.

im sorry, but that was a muay thai kick. Hitting with the shin, the piviot of the foot, slightly bent leg. There is no such thing as a MMA kick. That was a muay thai kick done by a bigger guy. Some of u guys are are claiming Rutten's kick is a little different here and there and this and that. Well that doesnt mean its some different kind of kick. its still characterized as muay thai with the rotation,shin, and slightly bent leg. And if it wasnt, it still wouldnt be a MMA kick.

@takumithao1992 or much stronger

[xXshadowXx48]

i need to star hitting my limbs 200 with a hammer any ways i am born with hard bones

[takumithao1992]

hmm..its a bit biased,his numbers are off the charts b/c of his weight size,he's definitely 40 to 60 ibs heavier than the muay thai champ in there.

if it was a muay thai champed weighed in as much as him,results would have been similar.

Mass makes a difference when it comes to making an impactful strike

All I have to say is THATS RIGHT, BAS RUTTEN :D

@stylezNout They aren't trying to test all that. They're trying to test how much potential damage it could do. When they test a car wreck those aren't accurate because a normal person would slam on their brakes, but thats what they're testing for.
