Bas kicked the tip of his nose off hearing that made me cringe 
Funaki Masakatsu #1 -Bucephalus -Pancrase fighters actually wore wrestling shoes with shin protection, but don't let that ruin the "rubber boots" narrative.ORIGINAL01ER - Bus seriously. Bas was won of the best fighters at that time and some guy with six months of training goes in there and wins.
Except he wasn't.
The guy didn't compete in an actual MMA fight (you know... where they don't wear big rubber boots and are actually allowed to punch each other in the face) until years after he fought Frank. He only fought 3 MMA fights in his entire career.
Yes! And they used wrestling punches too. Special knuckle-protecting punches.
