- Ken Shamrock on Dan "The Beast" Severn
UFC Hall of Famer, former UFC Champion and former WWE Superstar Ken Shamrock talks about his 2 UFC fights vs "UFC Hall of Famer" and former WWE & GNW star Dan "The Beast" Severn.. Shamrock also discusses why there is still hard feelings between the two competitors stemming from the cancellation of their scheduled "rubber match" that was supposed to be part of the ill fated "UR Fight" PPV last year that Severn was going to come out of MMA retirement for however Ken couldn't fight due to a suspension.

I love both guys. Ken was my original mma hero. I came to appreciate Dan much later, if you hear how little Dan prepared for actual mma it's so impressive. He of course trained for years as a Greco Roman wrestler but still his achievements are very impressive. I love both guys.
Definitely one of the very first consumate mixed martial artists. Most guys at that time were just wrestlers who threw punches occasionally. Ken was a genuine hybrid fighter. His skill set was deep and entirely unique.
The biggest difference between the two was Dan never juiced. Ken was juiced his entire career.
Shamrock goes off about all this to explain his record against Severn.
Severn said "We had two good fights. He won one, I won one."
hes just being modest, the 2nd fight sucked, and most likely a draw it was given to severn cause he was the hometown boy
Severn probably should've lost that second fight
Cool.
Neither Dan nor Ken deserve to be shit on. They're both legends.
The dance in Detroit was a disaster, and Ken should have gotten out of the game ten years before he did, but there's no erasing the achievements of both athletes.
ThunderousWrath Ken kind of deserves to be shit on for being such a sore looser, he has never lost a fight in his mind. He has a handful of excuses for every fight he has lost and blames everyone but himself. Kinda strips any credibility he may have had right the fuck away.
baggedwrxwagon So you're saying UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock lacks credibility as a fighter?
A lot of people remember him being better than he was, but still... It's Ken fucking Shamrock.
It's not exactly like he's the only fighter out there who makes excuses... or who people make excuses for...
ThunderousWrath yeah, and many, many professionals in the industry agree with me. Was he a pioneer? Sure as shit. Is he a sore looser who thinks he can't lose a fight fair and square? Yes indeed. Has he burned bridges and shit on one of the organizations that catapulted him into mainstream fame? Absolutely.
Well, Dan is a legend.
@@simpsthreedee3818
Fan fought nobodies after he won his last UFC fight his fights were sketchy to say the least more than a few looked like pro wrestling matches
Ken is morphing into a mix between Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci right before our eyes.
*lol* Now I can't unsee it.
OMG..the LOLZ...
.. And Woody Allen..
😆
And Sean Penn
I can't wait for this full shoot .... Ken has ALWAYS been one of my favorite MMA Fighters/Wrestlers.... this is my favorite wrestling channel on TH-cam hands down keep up the good work Hannibal
Karl Kani lol you like an excuse machine that had to take roids haha and won't even admit it when he got caught
@@randysowle8615
I agree that's Shamrock for ya !!
For some reason, Ken in this video reminds me of Al Bundy.
Let's rockk 😂😂
Anybody that watched the UFC back then knows and even remembers hearing John McCarthy prompting the fighters not to do this or that, loosely because of the ambiguity of the rules that were in place at that time. Fighters like Ken Shamrock are pioneers of this sport and anyone that benefits from it to this day owe these men great respect and gratitude.
Big John also let the fight carry on if someone got knocked down. It seems like these days as soon as you hit the mat they stop the fight.
Dan "The Beast" Severn was truly a Beast!!!
Severn and Shamrock, my 2 favorite fighters. Looking forward to this full interview
It seems that Ken loves Ken more than Barbie ever could.
Very funny!
Bwahaha, truth
Ken glamrock
“Tank Abbott”
@john bluchens Relax John... .
@@Jimmy-B- Yeah but he's just funny.
When Ken wins, he's very quick to talk about the fight. When he loses, he rambles-on about all kinds of excuses.
Very true. Out of all the great fighters he has fought he never says anything good about his opponents.
@@RichardsWorld th-cam.com/video/v8VIWJLtJQc/w-d-xo.html
You couldn't beat him.
@@LoganSewell83 LOl you know thats not the story you clown.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Classic ken
Shamrock has one won 4 fights since 2000. Those were against nobodies. Even people like Kimbo and Robert Berry beat him. Severn has won 66 fights in the same time period. Ken you are a pioneer for sure, but Severn is a fucking legend.
@Jesus Hitler lol. I was a janitor at my last job Ida not fought 1 demetional Dan.
AA Qayan he won against dan handerson
yet he beat Severn
Severn's most wins are from complete nobodies. Severn would also lose against Ortiz or Kimbo Slice.
A lot of Severn's fights outside the UFC are very sketchy though. A lot of them seem to be worked or fixed.
Royce Gracie, Dan Severn, Tito Ortiz...Ken has an excuse for each one. Gives no credit, just excuses.
He does have a fair argument against Severn for their 2nd match. Gracie was by far a superior fighter and he should admit that. I am not sure which fight it was that I saw on PPV back in the day but Gracie completely dominated him through the entire fight and Shamrock should not have been in the octagon with him. From start to finish Gracie controlled the fight and it wasn't even close. Shamrock deserved credit for never backing down but he has to admit there were times when he was clearly outmatched and handily beaten.
HTX 5150 couture
Ken wasn't in his prime against tito. He did give him credit for beating him on that interview with the vampire.
He doesn't have a fair argument because he was on roids.
@@pacificwonderland6863 proof?
Both Severn and Shamrock are total legends.
I love his modesty... :P
Cooking vegan with the good ol' boy 😂😂😂😂
Yeah..he's so humble.
@@alnosaints c'cccccccccccP00000
Ken must live on humble pie alone. That is the only way I can figure out how a man can be so full of modesty. 😁
He is the best, the most humble, the humblest of ALLLL the humble. He reminds me of like a old gangster, recalling stories of how he took credit for other people's work
Ken always seems like the kind of guy to never do any wrong in his own eyes and has an excuse for everything.
No one is perfect! Deep down he’s a good guy, he just feels like he didn’t get the recognition that he earned himself which I can see and definitely admire. Don’t get blinded by someone flaws trust me he helped a lot of people out there.
We all know @ssholes like this.
@@stevestevens243 well the truth is you guys aren’t any better lol
Didn’t you hear the actual reasons why those things happened that way? How in hell giving the facts and the reason of why something happened a certain way be called “an excuse”? I’ve been in his shoes many times throughout my life where hateful morons just talk trash out of their asssesss without knowing wth they’re talking about. Do you really think this guy was afraid of fighting anyone? This guys life was fighting. I am not friend of the guy or know him but his reasons seem legit to anyone with a brain to hear them and analyze them.
He's right about the first fight, he was great that night. But his excuses on the second one are BS. Everyone competes hurt, everyone fought by the same rules that night. Ken couldn't get to Dan, and Dan outboxed him and won. Sure it was boring, but Dan beat him, end of story. Also, if you watch interviews with Dan, he remains classy about this, and says almost nothing bad about Ken, or any other opponent.
As Don Frye once said, if everyone fought clean, Dan Severn would have beaten everybody.
Don, was referring to using roids Not dirty fighting.
Scott Steele what you’re saying is exactly what Phil is saying
Maybe I should have clarified that, but yes.
Severn flight a smart fight the second time around.
Considering Dan didn't fight clean, kinda ironic
Ken wasn't lying about Dan Severn punching him in the nuts during their first fight. Ken caught Dan in a guillotine choke and Dan's last ditch effort was to punch him in the nuts. He did, but fell backwards and tapped out. Shamrock was pissed afterwards!
It’s doesn’t matter... it was legal
Shamrocks just a crybaby
@@DarkShadows-xo9pp Someone went for your T-bag you would cry too.
I've seen that fight and couldn't understand what was going on but it makes alot of sense now thank you Ken
Man I still remember UFC 9 where ken & dan had the super fight for anyone who has never seen it I advise you to go and watch it right now you won't be disappointed the best fight I have ever seen hands down
Really good to hear stories from original UFC pathfinders
Ken Shamrock = Legend
... if you controlled the fight, you controlled how boring it was.
He looks like Ed O'Neill had a child with Robert De Niro.
BTW Ed O'Neill is BJJ black belt
Al bundy
@@astolfi DeNiro was Jake LaMotta, that's the closest to the fight game as he has gotten.
He did have 4 tds in one game .. pee-wee league 😂
I always wondered why that fight went down like that. They circled the ring forever.
Damn....I remember that 2nd fight. It WAS the most boring thing of all time. But I never knew any of this back story about no striking and injuries. Now more than 20 years later it all makes sense. Gonna have to dig up that fight and re-watch it through my new perspective.
I remember watching that when it first came out.. It was very confusing.. We all thought they were just being cautious and pussyfooting around the ring..
You'd think dan being bigger and the better wrestler he'd try to take ken down more but must've been afraid of getting choked again....crazy how Ken gets the mount and doesn't punch him in the face, then dan sweeps him and just starts raining punches lol
Kenny and I are from the same home town Susanville CA I have always looked up to him becuase he is a bad ass I think he is one of the best all time mma fighters every he went to Japan and kick ass in the real blood sport and won !!!
When Ken could shoot (before his body fell apart), he was freaking unbelievable. One of the best submission fighters ever. Same thing happened to his brother, though. Knees go, back goes, can't shoot. End of career essentially. Frank had to just become a brawler at the end and won a few because his kickboxing is pretty good. Ken didn't have as good stand-up skills so he became a bit of a joke. But in his early years, he was a monster.
I agree...Ken was good but his brother Frank was a better fighter
This is all true. It's one of the reasons why seeing Tito Ortiz talk the smack he did kinda rubbed me wrong. If Ken still had the ability to shoot like he did at Tito's age those fights would've been very short and with roles reversed. Then again, Ken's ego and excuse making are just as bad.
The roids helped, when he was in his prime. Not saying others weren't also "enhanced" in the 90s but Ken took it all the way. Probably also broke his body down prematurely too, but when everything was working he was terrifying.
@@rondog540 Agreed. At the end of his career you could tell his body just wasn't working the way it did. Those fights with Tito Ortiz were painful to watch knowing that Ken in proper form would have absolutely dominated those fights, but he was instead dominated himself.
@shawnvineyard5055 you can take the best version of Frank vs the best version of Ken. Put them in the cage- old UFC rules and there is no chance Frank wins that fight.
Ken would maul him at will in the Lions Den, literally beat the f*** out of Frank as and how he wanted.
I remember watching both his fights with severn and as far as his second fight I he threw quite a few punches on severn when they were on the ground. Not to mention severn dropped some bombs on shamrock which left him busted open and bloody.
I really don’t know what to think about this. Ken has actually went out there and put it all on the line many times with the toughest opponents. He’s had a group home. Has a lot of achievements. But then like others have said, he was juicing. Bottom line is it’s a shame that some of the founding fighters like Ken didn’t get the compensation they deserved and no company retirement plan.
We have not walked far enough in his shoes to judge. I’m 49 and can’t even fathom trying on someone like Dan “The Beast” Severn! What a monster!
Juicing doesn’t make you a black belt…or be able to take a punch etc
Ken shamrock one of my favorite wwe wrestlers in my 9 favorite wwe wrestlers list and one of my favorite mma ufc fighters in my 3 favorite mma ufc fighters list.
why does Ken shamrock look like a old mobester
well when he was young. he looked like a young mobster!
I think because old mobsters are people who have had rough lives, abused drugs and alcohol, and have had their lifestyle take a toll on them. Ken Shamrock has had all of the above. Ken has had a rough life, and he has made some poor choices. He is in many ways, fortunate to be in as good a shape as he is.
Guillermo Avila cause he's old school Gangsta
Maybe because he looks a little like Joe Peschi in Casino, lol
did you mean mobster or molester?
This guy used to really bother me. Went back and watched him and I got mad respect for this man! A mans man who wasn’t scared of anyone!
Talk about memories... I remember watching that boring ass fight on PPV!! LOL
Well at least now you know why it was so boring!
I had a black box. It was free and boring.
Me too
@@mistamuthafuka we want our money . the cable company
Yea we were there, 29mn of nothing..then the last minute got interesting.
10 minutes of self promotion and excuses as to why he lost (in his own mind).
where you there? its most likely facts considering all the stupid political bs that was lurking in the sport at the time. if anything it was a draw, they gave it to dan cause he was the hometown hero lol
Hey Hannibal... You gonna upload some more of these shamrock vids???? WE WANT MORE!!!! :D
Yes.
I would love to see Ken and tank abbot in the octagon both in their prime, say around 1998...
Isser Dayan
yup i agree. not much worth my hard earned twenties on ppv these days. Kenny and Tank in the squared circle all day. wow!!!
Isser Dayan great call....would be a great fight....but shamrock would win....
Isser Dayan tank wouldn't take the superfight he told shamrock to meet him in the finals
Ken would have sunk him
@@JM1993951 not so sure he would of demolished tank in Tanks prime. Look how tank trashed Taktarov although he still lost. Shamrock did a draw with Taktarov. Close call Tank has a chance. If Tank loses Ken is still going to the hospital after like Taktarov did. Severn Barely did a dente to Tank.
It was only closed fist strikes that were prohibited - pretty much the same rules as Pancrase.
Personal hero, always admired Ken Shamrock. Girlfriend got me an autographed photo when he visited her tanning salon lol
Class act. True Legend. Still looking good Ken!
looks like ed o neill from married with children.
... who is a legit BJJ black belt!
Ed O'neill would kick his ass.
deadtopcat if he had a child with Robert De Niro
He could never score 4 touchdowns in 1 game!!!
Tom Evans Awesome! I always do hypothetical bastard love child morphs like that when watching anything with my bff. She rarely gets what I’m saying. Yours was spot on. Nailed it!
I've met and worked with several people like ken,always angry about some injustice going on in their lives.in my opinion you attract what you put out ,change your mind and you will change your life
Mark Smith oh man those people are everywhere and will drag you down with them if you let them. They just want everyone to be as pissed off as they are and hate anyone who’s not. They don’t understand happiness in any form.
I was at the fight when both Dan and Ken were in Detroit. The fight was horrible. They stood and danced around for what it felt like an hour. There were fights in the crowd everywhere. I remeber people picketing when we were entering Joe Louis. The Beast won the fight. Crazy time back then.
I didn't know that he looked after kids great man 👍
"You can't out-wrestle me.."
El Oh El
Dan, hmm
I was at the UFC in Detroit. That was an insane night...
Shamrock was a beast, loved him
some one say he looks like Ed O'Neill well Ed O'Neill is black belt in Gracie jujitsu lol
I’ve never seen Ken and Ed in the same place at the same time come to think of it...hmmm.
For someone who got injured or gave up so many times over his career, it's pretty bold to talk trash about the Beast. That being said, he was one of the best and does deserve respect.
Age management? Are we calling doing lines of Cocaine... Energy Management? Spin it, Teflon Ken!
I love when he says didn't throw 1 punch the 2nd Fight!!! Perfect example why he's known as "Mr Excuses" lmfao!!!
Ken has balls I give him that for sure but he also abused steroids can't judge the man for doing that because most of the men he was going up against were doing the same thing
MrWasa11 can't have balls while on steroids
@@SovereignStatesman
Sure you can stupid that's a myth it may cause a slight change but nothing noticeable and they give you other substances to balance that out people act like they're doctors and know everything and have never seen a steroid let alone know how they work
Seriously? All these years and Shamrock still can't just say "he beat me." Sad.
Ken has always been an excuse machine. Severn would murder ken now and kenny knows it so he chickened out.
"Severn would murder Ken now and kenny knows it" your reference to a fight 20 years ago that Severn has since gotten his revenge for has nothing to do with my comment. try again
chet michael He beat him the 2nd time didnt he? Their you go. I'm sure the steroids balanced out shamrocks supposedly sore ribs.
Brian Jones: Yeah I'd actually like to see that fight. Pat Smith is a pretty tough guy. You can bet though if Shamrock lost, he would give some type of excuse.
My My Exactly
tim castro Yeah...its funny, because its true.
Kens told this story for years. He’s always been very moralistic, despite the steroids he knows what he thinks is right and wrong and sticks to his moral compass.
Would like to see Shamrock fight Dan, both in their primes and Shamrock Olympic Level drug tested up to and also the day of the contest.
Alot of people don't like his excuses an his attitude. But in his prime he was pretty good and he used to be a fan favorite. He used to be one of my favorite foghters.
Being injured before a fight is not an excuse. Part of being a fighter is to be 100 percent at all cost so you win.
I love how that he did not want to mention that when he won Dan already had a match earlier that day.
Why would he care if he had already fought? Back then, that was normal. Back then, it was elimination style, multiple fights in 1 night ..and obviously, if you made it 2nd round, it was bc you won...tf
I had one of those funny glasses with the funny nose like Kens back in the 80's, Wooooooooo!
Dan Severn is a great fighter i would love to meet him in person
Watching those early Ken Shamrock UFC fights, the announcers even billed him as the underdog almost. Esp vs Dan Severn. Always assumed pre internet they just never really saw all his pancrase bouts.
The most ironic part of Ken's life to me, is him being in charge of teaching and mentoring troubled youth. 🤔😂
he sells them coke. (JUST JOKING)
love the tag lol. he's holding his hands like he's describing fans lenth on a video titled Ken shamrock on Dan savern lol
Love how he failed to mentioned that Dan had a 7 day tour in NWA before the fight that Severn lost because he always did WWE style pro-wrestling while at the same time did MMA and still had an amazing MMA record. Ken almost got killed by the Nasty Boys in a hotel room and Vader almost took his head off.... Shamrock is one of the greats in MMA but full of shit with himself.
Ken has always been insanely arrogant and conceited. He always makes excuses and refuses to admit he got beat by a better fighter that night.
Constant excuses , we couldn't strike but we could or maybe get arrested , yet no arrests were made when the other punched haha
Yours and Dan's UFC 9 fight wasn't boring while it was going on tho due to the anticipation that something COULD happen at any time. 20/20 hindsight, yes it was. I was there live at UFC 9...the whole card was great. Was disappointed for 2 reasons: 1 - There wasn't a tournament that night and 2 - Tank wasn't there....but it was still a blast. Was shocked to later find out Cal Worsham almost died that night....I think it was Zane Frazier kicked him and messed up his heart or liver? Don't remember the whole story. Anyway, thanks for a great evening, Ken.
WOW. I'm genuinely shocked. I thought they had a mutual respect for one another. Ken does not seem to respect dan.
Ken only respects ken
I hope they show the full Shamrock shoot interview soon instead of clips
The full interview has been on our Patreon page for months.
My neck, my back, myneckandmyback!
Dan was legit...from about 97-99. Severn had a lot of openweight wins though where he was a Solid 100 pounds heavier (probably even more) and still made a 90 minute snoozefest out of it. Guy defined the boring naptime fight that belonged on the undercard but instead was the main event.
I saw the second Shamrock / Severn fight and awful fight as Ken pointed out . If memory serves me right Ken was a bloody mess after the fight and states in this interview he blocked all the punches .
Ken is what a man shouldn't be.
Severn was the master of the uppercut to the old johnson, and frye used to tickle it with his moustache, those were the glory days of fighting. Men.
God Bless Ken Shamrock 🌏☮️
Ken was often made to be the villain, but he was one of the Pioneers of modern MMA, a muscled up athletic fighter with a stand-up, clinch and ground game!
And he was A class act, if you watch that Gracie vs Shamrock fight, Ken gets caught in that school yard choke and he tapped, and the referee didnt see and Gracie in amateur fashion lets go the referee, seemingly has no idea what just happened and why they separated. Gracie says "you know you tapped."
And Ken says you're right. I don't think Royce would've admitted to tapping, IMO it shows Kens real character.
We want Shamrock back in the WWE
Legends....then one day they will be gods
Severn is open to a fight anywhere in the world, with Shamrock. Ball is in Ken's court.
Mr. Excuses Shamrock
shut the fuck up you amateur
No he is right. Ken is great, but nowhere near as great as he thinks. His record is not that great but his excuses are never ending.
He was never the same after he lost his feud with Tito Ortiz.
Ken has never been better than average in MMA.
Robert Simpson He was on a whole another level compared to the other fighters during his prime. He totally dominated the game until he went to WWF. Maybe his skills were average compared to today's standards, but he was way ahead of his time back then. What you're saying is like saying that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a bad bodybuilder, because everybody knows that he would absolutely suck if he competed in 2018.
Ken Shamrock moral compass for the Youth LOL🤣🤣🤣
Ken bought those glasses from the dollar store
This must've been edited; we're missing about 10 minutes of downplaying.
Love both fighters both legends
Ken - Boring fight you know my knee broke, my arm was dislocated, had the world on my shoulder, my elbows funny bone was hit, my toe ran off, my eyeball fell out but, but I still went in there and kicked everyone's ass!! I'm just that great!!
Ken Shamrock - the worlds most dangerous man . Mite be the best nickname ever.
where in working within the rules, do steroids fall?
Ken Is telling the truth cuz I seen him at the courthouse in downtown las vegas
Say what you will of Ken Shamrock, but he just has a code of honor that you can't help but admire and respect him for it. Even though it was a weakness for him.
Thank You exactly these little man children on here have no clue about honor. All these people calling Ken an excuse machine as if they have ever achieved something like Ken has.
Thank You sorry. No respect for Ken Shamrock
LEGEND.
KEN SHAMROCK RIGHT ON DAN SEVERN !!!
Both Shamrock and Severn are legitimate American Badasses...Don Frye, too.
Ken is super competitive, master back in the day... his prime could have been more UFC fights, he decided to go to the WWE.. Smart move for big money, but he wasted his prime years on fake fighting. Ken was a beast capable of a LOT however, his body couldnt keep up with his will to win. Ken always comes up with some excuse because he KNOWS what hes capable of. I saw Ken at Tower records back in the day, he inspired me to lift etc.. Only time ive EVER asked for a photo from a star.. (ive seen many even Tyson IRL too) Ken turned me down, was a bummer would have taken a second of his time... oh well. The guy seemed so consumed with himself, this interview shows that much hasent changed hehe.
I can make the same types of excuses for every fight I ever lost............ just admit it Ken, Dan beat you fair and square without steroids.
Hes full of it !!!
Dan didn't need steroids...only because he had some natural medical abnormality that caused him to over-produce testosterone! Over-active pituitary as well!!!
keeping it 1000%...shamrock was always the realest nigga in ufc
Anybody wishing to put any questions directly to Ken he will be appearing at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre nxt yr as part of a collective of ex WWE stars. Look under for the love of wrestling in fb. 👍
I was just on natural medicines...
Of course you were mate 👍
Ken looks like he's 70 years old
