Photo by Fernando Escovar

On April 30, 2007, three-time King of Pancrase titleholder and current International Fight League commentator Bas Rutten visited the offices of Black Belt to be photographed for two feature articles in the August 2007 issue and the upcoming September 2007 issue.

The first article, a cover story for the August 2007 issue, features Rutten's commentary on striking in the ring and on the street. The September 2007 issue's article continues his commentary, focusing on knee strikes, kicks and head butts. See exclusive footage from the shoot by clicking here!

A photo from the shoot was used on the front cover for Black Belt's new book, The Ultimate Guide to Mixed Martial Arts.

Rutten has a second-degree black belt in kyokushin karate and taekwondo and was once ranked No. 5 in the world in muay Thai. A longtime commentator for PRIDE Fighting Championships, he currently co-anchors the International Fight League (IFL) on MyNetwork TV.
