  • At Karate Combat Headquarters, MMA pioneer Bas Rutten spoke to Helen Yee about the evolution of MMA, judging and scoring system in MMA, how he believes judges should have fought before, the MMA GOAT debate, not comparing fighters from different eras, Stipe Miocic, Fedor Emelianenko, why he wants to be a stand up comedian, and more.

    Saying Khabib is "boring" is kind of like calling an expert electrician "boring". He goes in there and gets the job done with a perfect 5 star rating. What people really mean when they say that is that they wish someone who wins like Khabib had a different style.

      @Lars K. That's definitely not true- almost every negative comment I've read about Khabib had to do with him buddying up to Ramzan Kadyrov, the brutal Chechen dictator, which you did not mention. I've never read a single negative comment about him being a Muslim. And people that didn't like him after he beat Conor are generally the same that didn't like him before he beat Conor.

    I don't understand why Karate Combat doesn't allow low-kicks (and if I remember correctly not even hooks) with the argument that they don't want to be like kickboxing (even though several Karate Ryu allow them) but then they don't have the fights in full Karate-Gi but with naked torso, just like kickboxing.

    I think what they should do with weigh ins is to have them at the start of the fight. For every pound they are over give 10 percent of their purse to the opponent. Fighters will fight at their actual weights cause nobody will want to give money to their opponent and nobody will want to chug down much more than a 32 oz Gatorade right before a fight.
