Around SBN: UFC 146 Results: Junior dos Santos TKO's Frank Mir

Dan_severn-1896

MMA legend, Dan "The Beast" Severn (99-16-7), earned his 99th career victory over the weekend with a submission victory over Aaron Garcia at KOTC: Texas.

At 53 years of age, Severn hasn't lost since 2009, and hasn't suffered a stoppage loss in over five years.

That would be the most epic 100th win ever.

Avenging your greatest loss. If anyone doubts that The Beast would beat Royce, you’ve gotta be joking. He’s stayed immensely more active, and if you watch the first fight, you can see that he had no experience in fighting at that point, just wrestling.

Jay Z approves.

Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.

Win 100 could be over gracie at UFC Rio.

by Oneman on Apr 18, 2011 2:53 PM EDT reply actions  

He has a fight booked for May so unless he loses there is no way win 100 is coming at Rio.

Dude obviously has far more than 100 wins, but they are on smaller shows and off the record

His real record, no one probably knows except for Severn and I doubt he kept track. He also has some worked victories currently on his resume though.

by mikedh on Apr 18, 2011 2:56 PM EDT reply actions  

I think on inside MMA he said he was up to around 130 wins in MMA and that was sometime last year.

by Oneman on Apr 18, 2011 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Regardless of his strength of competiton

99-16-7 is Goddamn impressive.
No losses since 2009 and no stoppage losses in over 5 years.

and this is an anything can happen sport so even against cans if u slip, u can lose

99-16-7 is crazy if u think about it

by zuffazombie on Apr 18, 2011 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

arent a lot fo these wins on smaller shows works?

i have heard this a few different times and seen some videos of him fighting guys he had fought a few times before and beaten a few times before and they looked very much like works

by theroosevelts on Apr 18, 2011 3:04 PM EDT reply actions  

Matsunaga from U Japan and both Shannon Ritch fights were works

but those are the only I know, I am sure there are more. I doubt they make up a considerable percentage of his career. On his official record anyway.

by mikedh on Apr 18, 2011 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Its pretty difficult to confirm but pretty much any fight where Dan Severn uses a german suplex is a guaranteed work minus the Macias fight (and even that was rumored to be one for awhile). Its a huge number of his fights.

Giggle

That me giggle like a Japanese school girl, only because its so crazy.

I know Randy is one of the greatest……Severn might be MORE of a living legend?

I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!

Poor Forrest

Taking on Dan Severn in your pro debut.

I wish I could be half as awesome as Severn when I'm 50.

Severn facing Royce...

Would also give him the record of oldest UFC competitor. I think he deserves it.

Dan must be similar to Samson — his superhuman quality is in his hair — his mustache hair, that is.

by Keren on Apr 18, 2011 3:54 PM EDT reply actions  

I saw a fight of his in 2008..

It looked a bit fishy, his opponent barely threw a punch while Severn held him against the cage for 15 minutes.

It can be healthy....

To have been in over 100 professional fights.

Plenty of folks have brought up that there are some works in his record, thought I’d add in that a fighter acquaintance that I know who fought Severn claims he’s a DIRTY fighter. Any of the nasty little wrestling tricks you might have heard of before were among a laundry list of things that my buddy had done to him in the fight. I take everything I heard from a beaten fighter in regards to the one who bested him with a grain of salt, but it wouldn’t surprise me if an old dog like Severn brought a little bit of that NHB into the cage with him.

Wait, which one’s the dirty fighter, Severn or your buddy or both?

by Keren on Apr 18, 2011 5:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

All kidding aside, such an impressive guy. Note to Tito and other fighters: if you want to keep fighting, follow the path this guy has taken. War Severn!

by mountaineers101 on Apr 18, 2011 5:17 PM EDT reply actions  

Bring him back to the UFC and let him fight Tuchscherer or Tim Hague! He’s such a legend!!!

by Funeral Pyre on Apr 19, 2011 4:44 AM EDT reply actions  

By far my favorite fighter...

In the early days anyway. My mom had a blackbox growing up so I had free ppv. Channel 43 I watched ufc 1, and never missed a event until they took it off tv there for awhile. But I still saw some that I rented from the video store. Anyway that severn vs gracie fight lasted like 45 min is one of my best mma memories even though Dan lost. Is love to see nothing more than for this to be the main event and the final fight for both fighters. This would sell.

Over 122 fights, he has one loss to (T)KO ever, being from 2005.
