2. Mauro Ranallo and Bas Rutten
One of the best podcasts on combat sports available right now is “Rutten and Ranallo”. Bas Rutten and Mauro Ranallo are possibly the two most knowledgeable analysts in the sport. They are also really entertaining.
Both Rutten and Ranallo have called fights for Pride and other MMA organizations. Ranallo has called kickboxing for Glory, and has also called fights for Strikeforce and Invicta. Bas Rutten was the long-time co-host of “Inside MMA” before that show was sadly taken away from us recently.
Dana White appeared on an episode of “Inside MMA” last year to announce that Bas Rutten would become the first European to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the “Pioneers” wing.
