Just met Bas Rutten

By far, one of the coolest fighters you'll ever meet. He was at an EA Sports MMA demo pitching the game to media and demonstrating some moves on a mat.

In addition to being an in-game coach, he is also a playable fighter. Some in-game gameplay footage of him at the 2:09 sec mark:

I will buy that.

 

I've met him several times, he's a very cool guy.

Bas is the man

Props for neither of you guys doing the "fighter fist" pose.

Of all of the MMA fighters I've met, Bas strikes me as the most "rock star" presence. I imagine it's a little like maybe how it was meeting Bruce Lee. The guy is seriously bigger than life.
