didn't know you could fit that much badass on one couch.

Goddamn, I wish MMA could go back to these days. The nostalgia is killing me. Real authentic people.

Two class acts. I've always admired and respected the mature fighters like CroCop who didn't trash talk and showed great respect for their opponents.

Those two going night out would scare all the bouncers out there.

I miss Pride...

I love how bas can take a joke. What a cool customer.

2:17 One of the few men to take a jab at Bas and come back unscathed.

These are two really great guys and legendary fighters right here.

bas rutten had the best answer to mirkos joke about his suit :D a family man hahahahahhahahahah great guys

Cro Cop and Bas...two of the best MMA fighters of all time, classy too...These guys epitomize the sport.

One of my all time favorite MMA interviews, makes me so happy seeing these two legends having a laugh together

what i adore is how pure their soul is as fighters and men

2 of the most respectable guys in MMA.

0:14 "It went to a decision and I go whoa, what's going on" - Bas ... Think about this. Just think about it. That's how good Mirko Cro Cop was in his prime.

bas and mirko are legend!

Noway my 2 favourite strikers ANIMALS!

Legends!

Pride FC and Pancrase Forever! Bas and Mirko are the Greats!

you can't not but love Bas Rutten he's awesome!

my two favorite fighters. hard, strong, technical... Warrior spirit and heart of a champion.. and obviously both are good with humor and know how to have a good laugh! respect!

Mirko mirko!!!!! Bas and mirko wow 2 of the best!

Those two would shut a bar the FUCK down.

Bas Rutten brings out the best in people.

Mirko Cro Cop is a class act fighter. You may not like him, but you can't deny Cro Cop is an awesome skilled fearless fighter. I know he has got more legion of loyal fans than foes. Crop Cop is a living legend.

the two best MMA fighters ever!

I know Bas. He he so cool and loves his fans and really goes out of his way for them. He gave me an autographed dvd of his career fights and a sweet poster that he signed to me. The poster ses "To Mitch! El Guapo says, Party on and God Speed." Just the Coolest Guy EVER!!! I'm going fishing with him when he has time. I can't wait.

hahahaha , i love these two legends , so honest and true !!!

2 great fighters, respectful,

nice to see an interview without all the BS special interests. Also lets sell this fight on PPV for only 3 easy installments of $99.99

Both of them are great personality's, full of mutual respect and great to see, listen to and watch them fight ofcourse

back in the pride days fighters actually fought for legitimate reasons like the belt, their names, and especially for pride which really showed passion from everyone int he ring but now a days its literally all about money

It is impossible not to like Bas! Guy is very intelligent as well👍

TWO LEGENDS!

hahaha Bas Rutten & Cro Cop always a funny duo.

Very much enjoyed- thanks for posting.

"I like ur suit...where did u buy it? because my grandfather had the same...u remind me of my grandfather". LOL

Hahahahaha :D That one with the suit was hella good. It caught Bas off guard. And that's rare :)

Lmfao that was awesome, love both of these guys

Bas should do more interviews HE THE MAN! Also watch Bas Rutten interviewing Rampage Jackson it's freaking awesome

Two legends of the sport & both have a great sense of humour, both well educated & sharp too. This is a good video. Thanks :o)

my 2 favorite fighters these men are freaking awesome in and out of the ring very classy guys.

@Poisongage lmfao, he was totally caught off guard, ha ha kudos to Mirko for that one, I love both of their senses of humor.

Great interview, Mirko was surprisingly relaxed.

That grandfather suit comment was great.

Mirko Is a true warrior.

Bas Rutten you are so loveable LMAO

These are real and complete fighters... Amazing both inside and outside the ring/cage with great personalities and have respect. A lot of fighters from Pride have that: Big Nog, Fedor, Bas, Wandy, Crocop, HMC, even Rampage. Nowadays, there's people like Brock Lesnar who completely disrespects his opponents and the sport itself....... I'm not saying that there aren't any new good and respectful fighters, because there are, like Shane Carwin for example. But we just need more of these guys :).

wow uploaded in 2007

last seconds are hilarious. good vid!

You've gotta love Bas and Crocop.

my two absolute favorite fighters. noone is as funny and badass as bas and cro cop is a great sportsman.these two are my idols.

I was sleeping in inhabitants houses, Im lucky that croatian people are really kind and welcoming :) and plitivice is crazy! :D

These are the 2 most respected men in my life .

these 2 should be co commentators whenever UFC is in Europe. I would pay ppv just to hear them 2 go on a banter

Grandpa Bas

he isnt out of shape and didnt gained belly.... he said that he wanted to gain some weight to be a powerful heavy weight, he just gained muscle mass .. he said that he can bench press more than ever

mirko je kralj svih boraca mirko is the king of all fighters

mirko seems like cool guy

Imagine the fight that would have taken place if these two guys stepped into the ring to face each other at their primes. I feel that the size and weight advantage Cro Cop would have had would have given him the win but who knows!

hahaha. love these two guys.

I miss this time :( I'm not talking about the competition point a view, but what pride had that UFC will never have, is that big familly value, from fighters, to management, and jounalists, it was alla a tight familly

yeah I took my car from my town to southern France, then Italy, TOrino, Milan, and venice that slovenia, croatia to motnenegro then back to croatia, bosnia, serbia, back to Croatia to vinkovci and vukovar :( then hungary, then zagreb, then back to motvun, and rovijn, then back to home :( lol the croatian coast is just wonderful

@deathfrombelow22 agreed 100% its nice to see a fighter that knows when their time is passed instead of a fighter that hangs around for a few extra years being a punching bag for all the new talent

both of them are very cool

Both are great fighters, CroCop gotta be the favourite tho since he got such nice left kicks. Now he showed us another side of himself and thats raise the respect for him!

Cro Cop n Bas Rutten two legends

Bas is a legend, but his eyebrows were undefeated.

Cro cop documentary one of the best

yeah

nice to see atmosphere jak that ;)

ohhh LOL that ending epic

Legends...

my 2 heroes right there

2:20 burn so hot that you thank him for it "thank you Mirko, thank you!"

that made me smile :) cro cop and bas are no question legends and are good people no dought!

Great guys - i like both of them. Of course RUTTEN is a legend :)

Lol they just dont makem like they used to.

Good old days..

crocop is one of a kind fighter...no one in mma has his kicks...take down d...strikes...and his presence in the ring...missing pride and the old fighters!

Best mma times ever

i would like 2 see, bas vs cro-cop fight, they both are my fav's, and are great fighters!

Bas Vs. Cro Cop, another great fight that never was.

lol, luv to see some humor from mirko! awesome.

Mirko my favourit fighter and one of best comedian

mikro's face at 2:38 = Priceless

I think Bas should be a commentator. way rather hear him talk about a fight than anyone else.

@TheFighter7490 i have only seen one or two interviews of him speaking croation, actually most are in English and it seems he is fluent (as you can see here) Love this interview btw

You are correct.

BRRRRILIANT!!!! I'd love to see that lol

Bas Rutten is the greatest

from eastern France, you meant west from vinkovci ;) I've been in Zagreb too, and rovijn, rijeka etc... lol

Legenda

2 champions!

@Arodblade That is exactly what he said. His suit reminded him of his grandfather. CLASS.

such good ppl

WOW, Crocop made a joke!! didn't saw that comming

Cro cop = Legend status ...he doesnt need a belt...hes bigger than any belt

HILARIOUS

can't believe it. Fedor and Crocop both i like.. whats the fuss here. Anyone could lose and its what these fighters bring to the sport that is important. Bas gave us the liver shot...yah!!!!

It’s a shame we never got to see Bas vs Cro Cop
