Former UFC heavyweight champion says Dale Brown can get people killed with his 'fake' self-defense lessons
Former UFC heavyweight champion and Hall Of Famer Bas Rutten is the chairman of Karate Combat, the Live-Action, Full-Contact Martial Arts Sports League. The former UFC fighter was a guest on the MMA Experience hosted by Ariel Helwani. Helwani asked Rutten about Dale Brown and D.U.S.T., to which the former champion replied by saying:
"You see, this is, guys like that get people killed, because they give them a false sense of security. Like, that's why I don't teach self-defense in my classes, because what if? I always give this example."
Rutten talked about how self-defense classes against weapons give people a false sense of security without real-world experience. If they go out of their way to defend someone else using these techniques taught in a controlled setting, they might do more damage to themselves than anyone else.
