Disappointed to learn that Dan Severn was in over 15 fixed/rigged fights

Bang must have been shitting bricks when it was announced as a Split decision…
He was meant to throw…

MMA judges eh…

I’m exaggerating. Sarcasm/satire are a powerful tool.

But if you think about it, how many fighters does anybody honestly care about anymore? How many fighters can the casual fan even name at this point?

What I’m saying is: the majority of UFC fighters only purpose on the roster is to fill out content obligations to ESPN or be feeder for the 10 people the UFC is “pushing,”

edit: for grammar

To say “how quickly” after taking a leg kick from Rizzo is bit weak of a statement. Fighters didn’t train like they do now and he never took a kick like that before. Kicks from Ruas took out Paul V but they weren’t 1/2 has hard as Rizzo’s.

Not defending his career just this instance

Welp, Freddie Rodriguez who was Severn’s partner who he ran Danger Zone with said Severn threw the fight. Severn got kicked in one leg but was limping on the other when being helped backstage.

What’s your evidence on the Bart Vale and Kimo fights?

Didn’t he break his knee or something?

I was at a small Severn seminar like a day or two after the Rizzo fight. I obviously dont know if he was hurt, or how much, but I can definitely report that he was saying he was hurt at that time, and he did wince at least once (IIRC, concerning his left rib area).

He did the same thing in the second Shannon Ritch fight.

Shamrock was in a bunch of bullshit fights too, he was just more willing to take legit looking damage for it. A lot of those old school early day fighters that were big on the japanese “shoot fighting”
Bullshit and had huge penchant for pro wrestling would work fights all the time

I’m throwing Volk on there. That dude never has an easy night

Same thing with Couture, who I compared him to in the very post you replied to for that reason. Couture flat out admitted to not knowing how to defend leg kicks at the time and took a lot of damage vs. Rizzo but still fought to win all the way through.

If Severn was injured then it’s obviously a different story but I don’t recall him dealing with damage well in any fight I’ve seen of his. He wanted to grapple and was quick to find a way out if it wasn’t going his way, hence having a ton of early 1st round TKO and sub losses.

Yep. That sucks BUT it’s not fixing fights, which is way worse.
