Joe Rogan Experience #761 - Bas Rutten

Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum and we're live unfortunately Marlo Ranallo is is
deathly ill and he cannot make it here but the great Bas Rutten boom Basito
yes El Guapo yes is here former UFC heavyweight champion and your friend
Kevin Randleman unfortunately the guy you won the title from passed away
recently yes that was sad huh yeah the conspiracy theory was all already on I
saw online because he didn't Marlo didn't do WWE yesterday evening so they
said he was at the funeral of Kevin Randleman I said no that's not true he's
he's really sick at home but yeah that was the that was the craziest news we
found out after we just did our podcast yeah and then we went online and what
he got sick pneumonia and then his heart gave out they couldn't gonna revive
him
well he had staph infection worse than anybody I've ever seen in my life did
you ever see some of the pictures you know what I said to people if you if you
use smokeless tobacco you know that little box you could literally put in that
hole that he had in his chest remember that yeah yeah it was insane well we'll
show the picture Jamie see if you can find the picture Kevin Randleman staph
infection I never knew that I could get this bad but it he had holes in his
body
where you could look in and you see all the tissue and tendons yep I mean it's
just
incredible do you see it there Jamie I mean I'm talking like a fist size hole
it
was crazy you know this this guy survived everything as well look at that oh it's
just incredible I just don't and he fought after this too by the way yeah he
got
that fixed up and he fought afterwards but when your body is that compromised
from
something like that I'm assuming that was MRSA with the medication resistant
staph infection that stuff is real dangerous and people die from it all the
time look at his leg too look how swollen his ankle and his foot is oh my God
very
scary oh God and Kevin Randleman in his prime I mean what a stud what a
specimen that
guy was to see him that compromised I mean I don't know if he just ignored it
and it
just kept getting worse and worse I don't know what happened I don't know
either you know but I I have the
feeling that it's like all with all the fighters that were pretty much the same
you'll probably
it's the same as well you know you have something you feel bad you know your
lungs oh everything is
hurting whatever man you know I'll take care of that tomorrow once it gets
worse not realizing
because we're pushing all the limits all the time that it at the moment you're
feeling it's probably
really bad already you should check it out but you know just push it away let's
get rid of my let's do
my work first and then we'll take care of that later that was too late that's
that's the feeling I have
that that is a problem with mental toughness and some fighters they just keep
pushing through injuries
and I've always suspected that that might be the case with Kane why Kane keeps
getting injured over
and over again and now that you know he's starting to get some serious injuries
where he's had back
surgery now both shoulder surgery knee surgery I mean this is a guy in his
prime I mean I think Kane is
only like 33 or something like that right he should be regenerating like like
this like now as a heavyweight
that's your prime the early 30s for heavyweights are generally when they really
come into their own and
To see him constantly injured I've always suspected it's just his mental toughness
is almost like a burden because he pushes through everything
Mm-hmm you know Chris Weidman I think the same thing with his knees
He's had some serious knee problems it's because they you know they have the
problem they just go fuck it
Let's just keep going and they can block out pain in a way that you know most
people they get a serious knee injury
They go boy I gotta go to the doctor gotta get this checked out not when you're
in the middle of camp and you're defending your title
You fucking keep pushing through it. Yeah, I'm telling all my students now
because I used to be exactly like all the other guys
I say if you have an injury and the doctor tells you take two months off take
four months off. That's my advice now
Yeah, take double the amount of everybody does the opposite two months becomes
one month or three weeks
Yeah, don't do that because later in life like with what happened with me it
will backfire for you
It's such a good piece of advice right there because so many guys
Especially ACL surgeries. How many times have we seen guys get there's their
knee reconstructed?
And then they try to get back on the mat too quick and pop bumps again the new
knee blows out again
And you're looking at another six to nine months. It's so so Dominic Cruz also
Benji Reddick
He had like also like a from a corpse from an illegal corpse. He had something
in his knee in the legal core. Oh, they had the FBI
Yeah, and it was illegally obtained. It was he got a letter from the FBI. He
almost lost his leg
And then he had this he we went to dinner with him one time
He had a machine on him that filtered his blood everywhere. He went he got this
crazy infection
And then years later, he gets a letter from the FBI and it was the guy who was
illegally
He had handled in donors in the in whatever they need for knees and for for
everything like organs
And they found that guy. Yeah, and it was from a cadaver that was infected and
that's why he had all that problem
Yeah, holy shit. It was really crazy. Did he get a discount or something?
Maybe later, you know, just write it down a rain check for if the other knee
happens benji raddick is a guy
A lot of people forgot about there's a fucking talented guy
You know, I was talented. I I at the time when was and they called me crazy
when anderson silver was at the peak of his career
I said if I have six months with benji
And he would listen to me because sometimes he gets that ego that oh, I can
strike with him
No, you know, you don't need to take him down then strike him, you know
Because he would knock people out with one punch this guy hit so hard
He would hurt my hands on the focus mitts. I miss the craziest power he has and
I I tell I'm telling you his wrestling was so good
He would just take him down and just beat him up. I guarantee that that that's
how powerful he was
Wow, you know, there's a lot of guys that don't realize their potential and benji
raddick was one of those guys that people would always talk about in the gym
You know, they say like boy if he could figure out how to put it all together
We did a few times at the ifl and when he was training for the anacondas
He was there. Yeah, and then he started listening and people go like man
He's you transformed him into a kickbox. No, he's just listening at this moment
But when you face another guy like for instance, he fought scott smith
You know, and I told him I said don't brawl with the guy. Yeah, but are people
gonna think I don't want to I said well blame it on me
Tell him that I said so otherwise i'm not going to train you anymore
And of course the fight starts smith comes out and he starts brawling with the
guy
That's what the guy does don't do it's like with vanderlei silver don't brawl
with the guy
You know, you just got to pick him apart from the outside and shoot take him
down
He got in trouble at the end of the first round
Then he took him down hit him once
It was the end of the round but almost had scott smith second round exactly the
same thing
I've lost my voice. I just stopped yelling. I said why don't you take him down?
Take him down
Beat him up knock him out. It's it's really that easy for you do it
But he didn't he goes a funny thing when guys want to beat guys at their own
game
Or they want to show that they're not afraid to stand with people
Yeah, it's hard to it's hard to you know that that fucking thing that makes you
great in the first place
That makes you a fighter in the first place a lot of times can bite you in the
ass
Just don't don't do what the other person is best at if there's one thing he's
weaker than yours
Go to that whatever it is whether it's ground
Whether it's striking. Well, that was one thing that gsp was always so good at
He was always so good at imposing his strengths like whatever the guy if a guy
was good at wrestling
He would try to keep the fight standing if a guy was good at standing
He would take him down, you know
I mean gsp was so good at that and being unpredictable too as to what his
approach was going to be
He thought he was going to strike and then he's going to take you down
You think he's going to take you down and then he's going to kick you
He was like the la jolla the la jolla every time when he fought he had new
techniques
He used new combinations and and the same thing happened with uh gsp every time
you saw him
Josh koshek I I remember the fight it was a jab and it was a spinning back kick
to the body
Yeah, you know and he nailed it over and over again
You knew that for the six weeks eight weeks whatever he was training they
worked on that
You know for the rest you ad-lib a little bit what you normally do
But you know just pepper him yeah
The uh josh koshek fight man that was a that was an ugly one that that when his
eyes swole up like that josh
Was in a seriously bad shape after that he couldn't fly after that fight
Yeah, that was you know, that was one where they had that they had a drive from
I think they had that fight in toronto
Was it toronto or montreal?
I think that was toronto, right?
No, no, that was I believe it was montreal because I think toronto was jake
shields
That was the big one at the rogers center, right?
I have no clue I think so either way he was in canada and he had a drive down
to boston
And I believe he had to stay there for a couple weeks before he could even fly
back home to san jose
Wow, so you think like that will blow up in the air as well, I guess yeah, I
don't know it was so bad
It was an orbital fracture there's there's a picture of it right there
And that's after the fight, but it was so bad that they had to operate on it
And um those blowout fractures of the eyes apparently are extremely painful and
very dangerous too because
It's the bone behind the eye that gets broken
So they have to go in behind the eye and repair that bone
And sometimes when they do that your eyeball is never the same again. It looks
different
Like do you remember bob sap after krokop hit him in pride? I believe you
called that I called that fight
Yeah, I was there remember krokop cracked him with the left hand was it pride
or was it k1?
No, it was uh that was uh pride
Oh, wait a minute maybe it was kickboxing
You know, it was because I was actually training bob sap well, whatever you
call it training
I trained him one and a half time the rest he was doing uh interviews. Oh,
really?
I go dude this guy right now in croatia. He's kicking a bag. He wants to kill
you because you're on the
The top of the world right now. He just beat host twice. Yeah, you know still
hoost. Yeah, that is crazy that he beat him
So, uh, yeah, then he came to train with me because I told him before the fight
with hoost
He said if you would fight me, where would you go for I go I go for body shots
because your stamina and I kick your knees
Instead of your legs I kick your knees because you have to carry that weight
all that
All the time who's dropped him two or three times with the liver shot
So after that he came he said I really want to train with you. I said, okay
Well, then i'm going to be in japan anyway, so let's let's work out. But
Yeah, he was too busy doing media. I said don't do that
He was such a superstar in japan. He had to capitalize the amount of money. He
was able to make
I don't think people in america realize how big for those few years bob sap got
in japan. You have no clue
We went out to dinner with him and they have to close the
The restaurant and have to let him out at the back because you see one person
in the front two four boom
And it
