Dude is a pro wrestler
I was always a fan of Severn. His performances in the early UFCs were very impressive at the time, but I can't help but notice the very fake looking fights he has participated in in later years.
His match with James Thompson at Ultimate Combat 11 was a joke. His match for Cage Rage was more fake crap.
Fake MMA is interesting to me anyway, but Severn seems to have taken it to a new level, and I hadn't heard anyone talk about this before. Any input is appreciated. Cheers.
If you´re really a fan of his, you should only care about fights during his prime.
Forget these fights out of his prime......and ignore all the fraud?
I respect him for his real fights.
I don't respect him for conning his audience.
Forget these fights out of his prime.
Yeah but he was advertised as a mixed martial artist scheduled to compete in legitimate mixed martial arts contests.
Blatant fraud by deceptive advertising as far as I can tell.
These fake fights got included on his fight record and he is listed as defeating 101 opponents. But the vast majority of those 'wins' were entirely contrived.
Fucking shameful, morally corrupt and pathetic behaviour.
Bouncing the back of your head off a cement floor covered in a thin carpet is not a good thing. How many guys did Owen Hart hurt in his career? I know the worst injury his sloppiness caused was Steve Austin's neck. Who else did he hurt?

But to the topic, there are so many ways to fix fights to get a desirable outcome for the promoter/fighter. It's not limited to Dan Severn's career. Ask the UFC how they benefited from having McGregor being carried by a boxer for nearly 10 rounds who was likely pulling his punches and lose without being knocked out or knocked down. McGregor lost to a journeyman Nate Diaz and can now stand with one of the all-time greats in boxing after a short boxing only training camp? Get fucked.
It has and will always be about money and maintaining illusion.
