How would he do ?
-
WTF do you mean how would he do?...dude ended his career on like a 23 fight win streak...I think he did fine...Do you mean how would he do now?...terrible he has no knees left...
-
First and foremost I have to say that Bas IS the nicest guy not only in MMA but in the world. THe guy is awesome and a amazing fighter
now there is the question the validity of his PANCRASE FIGHTS
Now, he has always said that none of his fights were "works" and I take him at his word actually. So, I think his win number isn't inflated by wins that were "works". However, alot of fights in PANCRASE (at that time) were works (youtube search Ken Shamrock vs Matt Hume for a example)
Also, I think he gets no credit for actually taking the time to improve his overall ground game. Granted he is no Gunnar Nelson on the ground but he is very proficent for a guy just started out as a Dutch Thai boxer
Despite the two losses to Ken Shamrock (and that isn't a knock on Ken; i'm just pointing out a huge blemish on Bas' record) Bas is easily in the top 10 all time

if anything I was saying that Bas seemed like the only guy in PANCRASE at that time who wasn't doing worked fights. I'm sorry if my verbose post didnt express that
Rickson couldn't handle Bas because Bas wasn't a Japanese tomato can like all the other wins that were on his record

-
I would rate him very very highly especially in his time.
-
How would he do ?
you mean nowadays? He was a great fighter for his time, but today he would be average. But, that holds true for anyone as the sport just evolves and gets better.
-
bas is great and would do well. i agree he is also a nice guy. met him at the boston expo
-
Bas was the MAN in his day.
-
I mean against another top fighter, both in their prime
-
Ive read he bounced for years too. he said in one of his vid too
-
Bas is really a cool guy and alot of fun. He is really funny too. All round great guy.
-
If you listen to the Rogan Experience podcast, Joe & Eddie Bravo tell some hilarious stories about Bas. He was super nice and fucking CRAZY.

which podcast episode?
-
In the old era, I rate Mauricio Rua and Vovchanchin as the best.
For showmanship Sakuraba is IMO still the greatest ever.
I'm not sure he's even officially retired.

Notice all the open palm strikes?
Most fools don't realize that without gloves and tape, open palm strikes are more effective than a closed fist and breaking your hand on a guys' noggin.

Bas was great in Smashing Machine!

Closed fist punching was not allowed in Pancreas, which is why you see all the slapping. However, Bas was one of the first guys to figure out how to do solid uppercuts & hooks with the open hand. And, he brought serious kicking into the game. Most japs didn't know what hit them...

Open palm strikes are brutal when done correctly.
