There is perhaps no more lovable figure in MMA than Bas Rutten.
The former King of Pancrase and UFC heavyweight champion is well regarded as one of the all-time greats of the sport. However, his accolades extend past a ring or a cage.
Rutten has parlayed his charisma in many platforms, including commentating gigs for the beloved Pride organization, Cartoon Network commercials and actor—having his work appear on “The King of Queens” show as well as several movie endeavors.
But what makes Rutten especially cool? The guy is a filter-less machine of fun.
