Gotta say thanks to The Beast for helping make the UFC what it is, and for helping pave the way for a lot of fighters today. Wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.

True legend, I'm glad he went out on a win.

He makes Randy Couture look like Justin Bieber.

My mistake, I did a quick look a couple times and didn't see anything.

Man I was hoping he'd get to fight Royce, Ken, or Coleman before he retired.

A legend glad he retired. At this rate he was only helping up and comers get a name.

I've been following MMA regularly since 2006 and have never seen a Severn fight. I do however know of his accomplishments from Sherdog and wish him very best and say thanks for all his efforts. A true UFC HOFER imo.

For awhile there was talk of a fight vs Shamrock out here in KOTC
I wouldve loved to go to that and see the two legends square off one last time

Thanks Dan for all the awesome MMA fights, and for always bringing it! He is a true ambassador of the sport, and represents so many great things about mixed martial artists.

Some of the most boring early UFC fights ever.

Loved him anyway!

Enjoy your retirement Dan!

 

[MrPuppet]

Never liked him

 

[AmericanCharm]

I had a chance to train with him a couple years ago really cool guy.

 

[sp00k]

had no idea he was still fighting lulz

Some of the most boring early UFC fights ever.

I'll have to second that. Some of Dan's early UFC fights were treacherously boring...

BUT....The man definitely earned his nickname and pioneered the sport we all love for almost 2 full decades. RESPECT.

War Severn!

I was expecting a bump from a 2003 thread... crazy, I had no idea he was still taking names... Well good luck Dan, 101-19-7, not too shabby of a career right there.
