Bas Rutten willing to help BJ Penn out in diversifying his camp

I recently got to interview MMA legend and pioneer Bas Rutten.  When asked if he thought it was time for BJ Penn to switch training camps and teams he didn't surprise me by saying yes, but really surprised me by saying he sees problems in Penn and his fighting, and offered to help him train.  To read the interview in it's entirety click the link below! thanks for the support!

You meet this guy in person or was it over the phone or what?

Jesus you wasted alot of this interview on pointless questions imo. This is the one and only Bas Rutten, you could of asked him so much about his personal life, about his spell in jail, the street fights, his knees, his feelings on never been able to fight again, who if anyone intimidates him, Pride, Overeem and etc etc etc etc etc…kinda a big let down. If people want a good interview with Bas Rutten, then download Fighting Words with Mike Straka featuring Bas, AWESOME interview but a good interviewer.

Is your campaign against MMBB taking up a lot of your time or not?

lol...pal has a point....

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

No offense to Kev

I just don’t like trying to be re-routed from Mania to another site… Just seems like a low blow…. Regardless if Jesse is ok with it.

Again just my opinion…

I will not visit his site again

That shit is invasive and potentially dangerous. Anytime you have to click something to make it close or to accept it (Eg. Yes or Cancel), you are opening your computer up to bad bad shit. Last time I clicked one of those things, I got malware on my computer (I even hit cancel) and lost everything. Had to completely rebuild my computer. I will say it again Kev, that shit is going to be a major turnoff and will keep many readers from going to your site. Especially this one.

Not only does BJ Penn quit on his stool versus guys that are bigger than him...He gets tooled by guys that are SMALLER than him. BJ should just stick to jumping out of pools, not fighting. I shoulda listened to Ulf.

I went to the site on Monday

I read 4 posts and had 5 ads pop up on me. I can’t go back until that’s fixed, my boss would kill me if his site fucked with my computer.

Kev, get on it.

seems I got hacked

I got to bring my son to school then I will be taking care of the issue. Sincerest of apologies guys. I can’t believe this bullshit!

Just copy/paste the entire interview from his site onto this one. LOL

weird, it works perfectly for me every day. maybe cause i use firefox?

are you using Internet Explorer or Chrome or something?

BJ Penn is the biggest waste of talent in MMA history. Like usual, my pick was wrong and I blame a certain pudgy Hawaiin for my own short comings when it comes to talent selection. As it stands BZ – 3 Freenow82 – 1.

On a related note, Kev, you should really test your site on all major browsers, that is a newbie mistake.

I got AdBlock Plus with Firefox... so that's what I am guessing makes the difference.

I hardly ever see ads anywhere, it pretty much catches everything without me ever seeing it.

good to hear

I think I got it taken care of. Hate it, obviously I’m trying to build a site, but right now the majority of my traffic is mania traffic, this makes me look bad…I can do that on my own!

Doesn't make you look bad

We know you’re new. I think the site will do well one day.

fair enough and thanks

i feel it makes me look bad

nah doesnt make you look bad

right now anyways.

Most of the traffic is “us” so its understood. No biggie.

Last thing youd want tho is some auto spam to fuck one someones computer and then the site will be labeled as “enter at your own risk”

Bj

Doesnt have the style to fit into Bas fight style. Bas would def have to make his own regiment for BJ that would fit into what Bj does. Bj should train with Greg Jackson or Extrem Coutoure

For sure

But I don’t even know what he can/should improve on.

He’s not going to become a good wrestler now, he has good hands, his jits could improve or he could use it more often.

I think he needs better conditioning, speed and better guys in his corner. Who offers that?

He also wouldn’t move across the country so whoever he hooks up with will have to move to him. It doesn’t leave him a lot of options.

Since he doesn’t like using the GG, why not just hook up with Del Agrotti (Spelled wrong) or Thompkins or something? He just needs someone to kick him in the ass and corner him.

by jay. on Sep 9, 2010 1:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Basically

He needs to fire all those hawaiians I see hanging off him. They are dragging him down. You know the saying “Iron sharpens Iron”? Well what do feathers sharpen? His current camp is shit and if he doesn’t get out of there he won’t be getting better.

by jay. on Sep 9, 2010 1:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

he needs heart Jay

unfortunately thats not taught. His Jits is the best in the world. Marinovich had him acting like an animal.
site is back to normal.
clicksor swore it wasn’t them, the second I pulled their ads, the problems went away. if it quacks like a duck…

he’s been helping me with technical stuff. Clicksor says it’s IMVU and they hacked me, obviously not what I want to hear!

its working fine for me.

yesterday i was on this same computer and the screen flashed red and told me to exit the site, she bought some heavy duty spam blocker, today its as good as ever, and i think this is a great interview for your first one. Bas is the man and you cant throw fastballs on every question. Good start kev…
