Bas Rutten was the first standup-oriented fighter to really excel in mixed martial arts. He started as a kickboxer, but later came to Japan and left his mark there in the Pancrase organization, where he became known for his brutal palm strikes and merciless knees. After capturing the King of Pancrase crown, he came to the UFC where he defeated Tsyoshi Kohsaka and Kevin Randleman to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion, at a mere 205 pounds.
