Bas seems to have far too many stories in which he was supposedly minding his own business when bouncers or night patrons attacked him.
I have noticed this, too.
There’s that story he tells of the NFL player Brian Urlacher becoming enraged when his foot was stepped on (or something), and then shrivelling upon learning of the beast that is Bas.
I mean, I am not diminishing Rutten’s pedigree and abilities, but seriously, I very much doubt a dude like Brian is going to whimper as Bas tells it.
Obviously becoming aware of someone being highly celebrated as a combat athlete will result in greater contemplation. But any real man isn’t going to crawl away, either.
Fact is, a dust-up in a parking lot is a LOT different than a controlled fight or sparring match.
Size, strength and aggression is dramatically more advantageous in the former scenario.
Regardless, yeah, Rutten seems to really enjoy pumping his legend of an ultimate badass.
