Dan Severn Interview

It was an honor to interview Dan "The Beast" Severn on the show last week. I remember watching Dan enter the octagon for the first time back in UFC 4 and take control of the fight with his world-class wrestling skills. After watching him move on to the semi's and again win by rear-naked choke, I figured this guy would be a tough match up for Royce

Gracie. That turned out to the case as they battled it out for a good while before Severn tapped. After listening to him talk about that bout, it's understandable how he was fighting against many, many years of wrestling rules which by that point were embedded into him. Dan was instrumental in establishing 'wrestling' as a discipline to contend with in MMA.
