Here are highlights from Dan Severn vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri. This match took place on June 24, 1995, at an NWA event and it was an intriguing clash of styles. Severn, a legitimate amateur wrestling and MMA powerhouse, brought his imposing grappling skills and no-nonsense approach to the ring, while Tajiri—years before becoming the buzzsaw-style star in ECW and WWE—was still developing his in-ring identity. At this stage in his career, Tajiri wasn’t yet the striking-heavy, mist-spitting character fa

The early days of the UFC, especially in the 1990s, were wild. It was less regulated, with fewer rules compared to today. Fighters from various martial arts backgrounds would compete in a tournament-style format, often with few weight classes. It was more about testing different fighting styles against each other to see what worked best.

I had a rough day yesterday and like a lot of men, you might of wanted to have a drink or two. I have never liked the taste of traditional beer, but I did find one. “Root beer!” I destroyed the first one so fast that I had a second one. Slept in from my sugary hangover. Now I am sitting at my workstation and my goal today is: “Kick-Ass!” Now I am off to do exactly that. Have a Fantastic Friday. Beast Out! | Dan Severn

This was a classic match that was only supposed to go a couple of minutes with both of us rolling out of the ring with a leg-lock on each other and ending as a double count out with Ogawa retaining the NWA Belt. The Promoter was not happy that this was going to be the "Main Event". After the Japanese delegation left the room, I asked the Promoter what did "he want"? He told me, and I said "That is what will happen then!" I told him that I will kicked out of the double leglock out of the ring, an

This is just a continuing theme that I had with Big John. I had already been in the Octagon in a few previous UFC matches and had Big John as my Referee. To his amazement I had said a few rather comical things in those previous matches that you would never expect a fighter to say just prior to engaging in such a combative sport. The very first thing I ever said to him was: "Where did all that money go, that my parents paid for piano lessons?? For more insights into behind the scenes, or rather b
