Jorge Masvidal thought it was reckless from Bas Rutten

Many in the UFC community respect Sebastian “Bas” Rutten. He holds an unbeaten streak of 22 fights with a record of 21 wins and 1 draw. “Gamebred” wrote about this legend of UFC saying, “#BasRutten talking reckless about #AlistairOvereem during an interview and not realizing he’s right behind him 😲👊💥💤”*

and shared a clip on Facebook where the two confront each other.

In the clip, Alistair Overeem and Bas Rutten are in the gym, but not facing each other.

Bas notices a split second before getting choked by the UFC fighter from behind. He continues to choke him while dragging him to the ground.

Upon being released, both of the fighters laugh about it and shake hands.

Bas Rutten had always been vocal about superstar UFC Fighter Alistair Overeem. He told the media in several instances about his weak chin and improper behaviour. Guess Rutten was still salty about the UFC fighter leaving “Golden Glory”.

How Alistair Reem abandoned Golden Glory

Back in the day, ‘The Reem’ had an incident happen to him that caused his removal from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. He requested a change in date, but the management stuck to the date of September 10th, 2011.

Due to a toe injury, Overeem had asked for a later date. But instead, Zuffa decided to replace Alistair Overeem. This caused a lot of unrest in the Golden Glory fight camp.

Ultimately, “Reem” had decided to abandon the camp, as a result of a “breach of trust”. So definitely ‘The Reem’ was not happy with how things ended with Golden Glory Fight camp, where he essentially learned to become a fighter.
