Dan Severn has captured the attention
of fight and wrestling fans all over the world since his 1994 debut in the Ultimate
Fighting Championships [UFC]. Dan is known as "The Beast", a
name given to him by Jim Brown during one of his
many fights in the UFC. The native of Coldwater, Michigan has accepted all
challengers in any no holds barred, or professional wrestling events. On May 17,
1996, Dan was crowned the UFC Superfight Champion
in his home state of Michigan. He demolished "The World's Most Dangerous
Man", Ken Shamrock to regain the title. Dan is
the only triple crown UFC champion in the sport today. Severn has won two eight
man tournaments and The Ultimate Ultimate 1996,
which pitted champions and runner-ups against each another to determine the true
champion of the sport. |
| In 1994, this distinguished athlete stepped into "The Octagon" for the first time. The octagon is a 6’ high steel cage that is the focal point of the Ultimate Fighting Championships. The UFC is a no holds barred competition where athletes display their skills in a full contact event. This sport is the only event that pits athletes of different disciplines against one another. In the beginning there were few rules; no biting and no eye gouging. Through the years more rules have been added to the event to help the promoters work with the athletic commissions around the country. A bout is ended by a KO, TKO, athlete tap out, referee stoppage, or the towel being thrown. Severn easily established his place among the best fighters in the world with his awesome competitive fire to be the best. |  |
