Dan Severn could not have squeezed any more out of his hall-of-fame career.
“The Beast” walked away from the sport in 2013 at the age of 54, having compiled a 101-19-7 record across nearly two decades of active competition. A two-time NCAA All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, Severn burst onto the mixed martial arts scene with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1994 and went on to win the UFC 5 and Ultimate Ultimate 1995 tournaments before eventually capturing the UFC superfight title. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on April 16, 2005.
