Dan Severn Denied 100th Win, Knocked Out Badly In The Process

A few hundred fans gathered in Worcester, MA, Friday night to see if UFC Hall-of-Famer and MMA icon Dan Severn had enough in the tank to win his 100th career fight.
That question was answered quickly and violently as a right hook by Lee Beane dropped Severn at 3:28 of the first round, knocking out the former UFC champion in a sad scene.
The 52-year-old looked stiff and lethargic early on, lightly throwing leg kicks and very few punches. Beane (8-2) attacked early with kicks to the lead leg that were affecting Severn (99-18-7). After a straight right backed Severn up, Beane threw a power hook that hit flush on the cheekbone, dropping Severn. After a few unnecessary punches, the fight was called.
Severn was down on the canvas for several minutes afterward and was attended to by medics. He eventually got up and after Beane was announced the winner, Severn thanked the sparse crowd for coming out and supporting him and the sport for all these years.
After a 10-fight win streak that lasted through mid-April, Severn now has lost two straight by T/KO. This was already his fifth fight of 2011 and his 10th fight since the start of 2010.
While 100 wins is a nice number, it's a large price to pay for getting severely injured. Severn will likely fight again and here's hoping the end result is a lot less painful.
The event was the first for Warrior Nation XFA, a Massachusetts-based promotion.

He doesn’t look native at all to me. Then again, David Carradine didn’t look Chinese.

He wasn't
The dude was actually Italian. He was some character actor or something. I read it on Cracked.cOm

His name was Oscar de Corti.
He did consider himself Native American at heart though

I think he's going to try to make 100 if it kills him
No one’s ever going to claim that they nearly finished a marathon, or nearly climbed Everest. Coming that close isn’t enough to call it a day if you’ve been striving for it for years.

Now that Macho is gone
Dan Severn has to live forever. They say his beard is the only natural cure for hypogonadism.
"Run and tweet THAT, homeboy."
Agreed.
Bummer that he got KO’d so hard though.

In high school
my team wrestled Lee Beane’s team and against our heavyweight he set a record for quickest pin. Beane was a force to be reckoned with in the NE area.
Goddamnit!
Lee Beane is un ’Murican!

That ref needs to be in jail.
So this is part of working the low circuit huh. Less money and feeble minded refs that let you get murdered

Luckily Beane had enough respect to stop punching Severn and then called the stupid referee.
Also, notice how the referee far from the action and behind Beane when Severn is dropped.

Beane seemed legitimately disgusted that the ref wasn’t stopping it.

I had the same impression. If he was less of a sportsman he could have kept punching Severn until the referee woke up and finished the fight
by mmablitzkrieg on May 21, 2011 3:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep
very upstanding on Beane’s part.

can't believe the part where he STOPS running, gets into his crouch pose and calmly observes
like it’s a Fing omoplata happening or something… meanwhile homeboy is rounding the corner on followup punch five to the 52 y/o man’s unconscious head.
i think the only way he could have done worse would be to join in and start hitting severn himself.
God, watching these small shows is a reminder of how terrible some refs are. I mean seriously, that was some dangerously negligent officiating there.

Horrible reffing,
Dan gets flash KO’d and he runs in the opposite direction to a place where he can see action down lower as if they were grappling, whilst dan took about 6 hard post KO shots.
You’ll never see that ref in the big time LOL.
yeah........
REF should hav e called it after he got dropped terriable job by him

Someone find a can w/ no punching power
For Dan to beat up and get his hundredth win so he can retire.

BTW, did anyone else notice that Dan definitely looked his age out there.

99-18 still ain't shabby
And this is only the second time he’s been KO’d, which is kind of amazing. Hopefully he’ll get to 100 next time but even if he doesn’t, he’ll get there eventually.
Damn horrible reffing
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see Severn was out and out cold.
Brutal dude
at least beast2 was classy and only threw in a few extra punches
then looked at the ref
man what a chump that ref was

It looks like the ref
is playing safety on a last second hail-marry play. The ref wasn’t even visible for the last two minutes of the fight. Where was he taking a fucking bathroom break?

Ya props to
Beane for screaming at the idiot ref the Severn, it looked like he was hiding in the corner.
this vid
makes me want to pursue a fight vs dan severn
Ref was way out of position
Looking through the fighters legs as an unconcious Beast gets punched until it becomes apparent to everyone else in the arena that Severn is half-dead.
