Bas Rutten (Former UFC Heavyweight Champion) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'UFC' compared to the IFL?; What are the benefits of IFL style team fighting?; What is 'Pancrase'?
Pancrase, that's the organization that started in 1993 in Japan. It's a hybrid. Pancrasion, that's the first olympic sport there was ever. It's like we go back 492 before christ. It was in Greece. Pancrasion, they pronounce it pancrase and that's what pancrase was. It was a hybrid of all martial arts together. So it was mixed martial arts, it was open hand strikes to the face, bare knuckle to the body, and pretty much everything was the rest, the same as it is right now. We had 30 minute fights. There was just one month.You had no break and it was no weight class.
