Dan Severn

There’s something special about watching these old-school VHS tapes—raw, authentic, and full of history. It’s like stepping into a time capsule of technique and discipline.

#ThrowbackThursday Two legends. One ring. No gimmicks. Dan “The Beast” Severn vs. Ken Shamrock at BCW was a true clash of titans—grappling roots, raw intensity, and respect forged through combat. No bright lights needed—just two warriors doing what they do best!

This was shared with me from 2024 and I’m just sharing it with you. Michigan has had a lot of great competitors over the years! #fightculture #FightHistory #CombatSportsPioneers #mma #sportshistory #michigan

I happen to be in my training facility packing up for another road trip and for whatever reason this picture caught my attention. The UFC was a whole lot different back then and yours truly, made the cover of Mad Magazine! Lol

Before he became “The Beast” in MMA and pro wrestling, Dan Severn was dominating the mats at ASU. Sun Devil legend, NCAA powerhouse, and the foundation of a Hall of Fame career. #DanSevern #ASUWrestling #WrestlingLegend #FromTheMatToTheCage

Someone shared with me part of their growing UFC collection. I feel honored that someone is hanging this on their mancave wall. #DanSevern #IUFCCollection #MMAArt #TheBeast #UFCLegend #FighterWall #CombatCanvas #MustacheOfMayhem”

An iconic moment from UFC 9—Dan Severn imposing his will with pure wrestling dominance over Ken Shamrock. No gloves, no rounds, no nonsense. Just raw grit, strength, and strategy inside the cage. This was the era where toughness wasn’t talked about—it was proven.
