Dan Severn: I'll Come Out of Retirement for Mark Coleman, Ken Shamrock or Royce Gracie (Part 7)

Part 8: • Dan Severn on New Jack...
Part 6: • Dan Severn on Refusing...
Part 1: • Dan Severn & Don Frye:...
--------
In the latest clip, Don Frye and Dan Severn described their matches against Ken Shamrock. Frye admitted to taking vicodin before his match and described how the drug affected his performance. Severn stated that he didn't want to be compared to Shamrock and spoke about their different upbringings. Severn also listed the numerous injuries he's sustained throughout his MMA career.
Severn commented on his UFC and NWA Hall of Fame inductions and revealed that he's had between 3,500 - 5,500 total combat matches. He is also one of only three MMA fighters with 100 wins. Later in the clip, Severn explained why Mark Coleman, Ken Shamrock, and Royce Gracie are the only fighters he'll come out of retirement for.

[@calebcompton9120]

@The Dank Digger I'm just saying that he would've been too much for Royce. Mostly because alot of Royce's success in the early days was people's lack of understanding of Jiu Jitsu and submission, but the Luta Livre guys have been fighting the Jiu Jitsu guys for many decades in Brazil in the early days of Vale Tudo. I think his size, strength, and familiarity with fighting Jiu Jitsu specialists would've given him enough of an edge to beat Royce. I do agree that Rickson would've been a different story. The way Rickson tells it, Ruas was afraid to fight him, but who knows. The Gracies have been known embelish the stories about themselves.
