Mixed Martial Arts, Fighting Techniques & Training
 Q & A Interview with Dan "the Beast" Severn
by Reed Walker
After the first day of the expo had concluded, I was sitting with Dan ‘The Beast’ Severn. Dan was kind enough to invite me to his hotel room after the day’s activities had ended. I did not quite know what to expect meeting him in person, but I was pleasantly surprised.

When I had first approached him, at the end of the first day of the expo, he was packing up his title belts and the contents of his booth. “In case I decide to cut my losses and just drive home tonight,” he explained. Fortunately, at least for the expo-goers, he decided to stay.

I was born in Madison Hts., MI and lived in Highland Park, MI for the first year or two of my life. We then moved to Hazel Park, MI where I was schooled and raised.

Ricardo came right out from the opening bell and asserted his dominance, with cracking low kicks. After establishing his range, Ricardo went to town landing jab/cross/low kick combo’s, over and over again. Peter seemed a little off balance and unable to land anything early in the round,...

 MMA Toronto Expo
It was interesting to observe the ‘traditional’ martial arts. Kung-fu and karate, the arts which have largely been disregarded in the age of UFC and Pride FC, are still very much alive, although their numbers dwindled in comparison to the grappling-oriented mats, at least at the expo... [read more]

|  The 205 lbs. Question
First let’s deal with The Ultimate Fighter. The UFC couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome for their final in the 205lb division, not only did Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar go to war for three rounds, but they both received well-earned contracts, gave the division a much needed layer of depth,...
