Its comforting to see a well conditioned athlete like frank get winded, makes me feel less bad about the times I get winded too.

Awesome stuff.

Is Frank normally that chattery and goofy in his fights, or was he just messing with Bas in particular this one time? This is the first full long fight I've seen of his so I don't know.

"Good times hey Bas?" right after the big takedown slam at 2:00
whispers "Good slap Bas" at 2:38
"Wanna bring to the ground?... OK." 5:45
"Ha-ha" after the sneaky sissy slap at 6:32
Plus various other little mumbles I couldn't make out.
Then the mocking of the leg kick, gigantic smiles and laughing at his lost point for rope grabbing, the Ta-daaaa! for the crowd after his backwards sommersault and of course the goofy faces while being bitch slapped on the ground.

Was Ken one of the foul-mouthed cornermen for Frank at this fight or was it someone else? "THAT'S A FUCKIN' FIST!!! **** REF! - THAT'S A RED CARD!!!" (I must admit I liked the ref yelling "STOP! ... SHUT-UP!... SHUT-UP!" to Franks corner while he was asking them what Bas hit him with after the first knock-down. Maybe I've just never heard good audio on these clips before but I didn't know fighters and their corners were quite that... bitchy... about trying to get the other guy in trouble for minor rule infractions rather than just going in and fighting harder.

Also what was Bas saying about hitting 2 times after they climbed back into the ring? Did he mention anything special about this fight on his career DVD?

Alright, in that match... when Rutten was striking him in the side of the head, and Shamrock was laughing at him, what would have happened if Rutten would have targeted his nose? Or did the rules not allow that? Just curious.....
