Whoever says Ken is not a good fighter clearly doesn't know the history of this sport. Ken looked great in UFC III (or was it 4?, i don't remember), and i'm sure he would've taken it, but he got an injury and had to call it a night (he won the fight though).
In the old UFCs, you had to fight your way to the top, all in one night. You have to fight THREE fights, you heard that right, THREE fights in one night to get the belt. Those days, super fights were the equivilant of today's championship fights.
Royce Gracie (and don't tell me he's a bad fighter bla bla bla) dominated the sport at that time (i don't care if there was no competition at that time). The only man who could go the distance with him was Ken. Heck, Royce schooled Yoshida NOW, after more than 10 years past his prime.
Bas Rutten has only 4 losses in his record, and two of those losses are signed by Ken.
