  • Ufc Announces Induction of Mma Legend Bas Rutten to Ufc Hall of Fame Former Ufc Heavyweight Champion to Be Honored As Pioneer at Ufc Fan Expo on July 11
    UFC ANNOUNCES INDUCTION OF MMA LEGEND BAS RUTTEN TO UFC HALL OF FAME FORMER UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE HONORED AS PIONEER AT UFC FAN EXPO ON JULY 11 Las Vegas – Former UFC® heavyweight champion Bas Rutten will take his rightful place alongside other legendary innovators of the sport in the UFC Hall of Fame. Rutten, who also dominated the Japanese Pancrase organization’s championship landscape during his 33 fight career, will join icons including Royce Gracie, Dan Severn and Chuck Liddell in the Pioneer Era wing of the new-look UFC Hall of Fame. The Pioneer Era category recognizes great fighters who turned professional before November 17, 2000, when the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts were created and widely adopted. All but one of Rutten’s 33 professional MMA bout were fought in the 1990s, with many of his greatest accomplishments taking place in Pancrase, which used hybrid rules, single-round fights and open-handed striking. After dominating the competition in Japan, Rutten finally entered the UFC Octagon at UFC 18, on January 8, 1999. Hyped as the greatest MMA fighter in the world, he defeated Tsuyoshi Kohsaka by knockout and returned at UFC 20 four months later to defeat Kevin Randleman to win the vacant UFC heavyweight world title. Rutten was the fourth man to hold the UFC heavyweight championship and third former holder of that belt to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. UFC President Dana White surprised Rutten with the news during an interview on the Inside MMA Show, which Rutten co-hosts.

Key Words: Systematics, Hymenoptera, Sphecidae, Pemphredon. Introduction General: Pemphredon is a Holarctic and northern Oriental genus of medium size predatory solitary wasps belonging to the subtribe Pemphredonina. The species tend to be similar and morphologically variable, which often makes it very difficult to distin- guish them. BOHART & MENKE (1976) listed 53 species. In the course of this study 17.818 speci- mens have been examined and a total of 37 species recognized (6 Holarctic, 13 Pale- arctic, 11 Nearctic and 7 northern Oriental species), 7 new species (6 of them descri- bed in an earlier paper) and 24 new synonyms have been recognized.
