Dan "The Beast" Severn grew up on the family farm in Michigan and didn't start wrestling until he was a teenager. He soon came to love the sport competing in both Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling. His talent led him to Arizona State where he was a two-time All American and competed internationally. Severn just missed out on making the US Olympic team times in the 1980s but would eventually put his wrestling skills to use in the octagon fighting in the early days of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In a time with few rules, Severn excelled in UFC winning 101 bouts and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2005. At the same time, Severn was entertaining crowds in professional wrestling spending time with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Currently coaching and training today's fighters, Severn looks back at his multiple careers and shares advice he's learned along the way. He also recounts how he dealt with the scripted pro wrestling bouts and how he was able to survive a difficult business. Plus, he tells us which NFL Hall of Fame running back is responsible for his nickname "The Beast".
