It's not like Bas is a giant himself. By today's standards he'd be fighting at LHW or MW. Just because you don't know the guys Rutten fought in Pancrase doesn't make them cans. The rules were strange, I give you that.Wins over Kharitanov, Belfort, Lesnar, Werdum, JDS >> a robbery win over Randleman and a career fighting smaller fighters under strange rules in Japan. Overeem also did a hell of a lot more in Kickboxing.
Would you really pick Bas to beat Reem?
Would I 265 Reem over 205 Rutten? It hink Rutten would have a hard time beating him, yes. I would take Rutten over pre-roid Reem though.
Also, neither Reem's or Rutten's kickboxing credentials have any bearing on how they're ranked in MMA.
