MMA fight video of Ken Shamrock Vs Dan Severn at UFC 6 in July of 1995.
balls of steel!
a classic
7m8sec just to get the fight started – man, UFC “dramatic buildup” back in the day was even longer and stupider than it is now.
The sport has thankfully evolved from this fight into something resembling MIXED martial arts, as opposed to one or two dimensional hacks.
Oh, and nice trunks, Ken.
ha… that slow motion pan of ken at the beginning! “he might throw some punches”.
oh far we’ve come.
insane to think this was 13 years ago, and both these dudes are still getting in the cage today.
Yeah both of them are still getting in the cage, but Severn is actually getting Wins. Ken’s been getting his ass kicked a lot.
Hall of Fame battle! Awesome blast from the past, thank you for posting. Mark Coleman will the the 5th UFC Hall of Famer after they let Brock Lesnar maul on him this summer. Tank Abbott is a shoe-in too, as soon as he retires.
Lol, look at 10:19 sweet nutshot.
Fuckin awesome! Great old school post. I remember being in 6th grade when the original Ultimate Fighting Championship aired on payperview. Me and my best bud (who’s locked up for murder now) begged for like a week, finally my parents agreed. They went out to the bar so they had no idea the kind of violence we would be absorbing. As we watched the French Savate fighter kick a Sumo in the mouth so hard his tooth flew out into the crowd i remember thinking WTF? Where’s all the ninjas and chinese stars and shit? Ahhhh….the good ol days.
they both need to retire for good, they’re both ufc hall of famers……2 forty year old men still in the fight game
hahah Severn talks like Mike Tyson.Awesome.
This is great. I love the days before BJJ was integrated as it is today — Shit, I probably could have gone in and sunk in a guillotine or two, it’s like taking candy from a baby. ha! All the respect to these guys, and when I say respect to Shamrock, I mean 10 years-ago shamrock, nowadays he’s just a poor sportsman and should have hung up his gloves ages ago.
The commentators are from PGA. I almost fell asleep when they announced the fight.
looks like ken took a leaf out of royce’s book with the choke. i saw ken fight at cage rage the other month. he really should give up now but i supose if he likes doin it why not get paid to do something you love
lol may throw punches that sclassic..
Bare nuckles, tighy tights, and Michael Buffer in a white suit… oh… the good ol’ days!
There has been an amazing progression of the sport.
Ha I remember renting these dvds in 6th grade. I thought for so long that Shamrock was good boy was I wrong. Nice grannie panties on Severn. Great vids.
id actually like to see style vs style fights again its pretty fucking cool, i wanna see some kung fu dudes and like those acient martial
They had a guy who did Kung-Fu in the early days, I forget his name but he was pretty terrible, he got his ass handed to him.
Shamrocks lavender cape and panties….classic.
I never liked ken. Never thought he was all that of a fighter. even though he did pretty good in Japan and in the early days of the UFC, I never liked his style or his technique. He never evolved into or with the sport like his brother did. In my opinion, this is Ken“s best fight. A true old school classic.
werent these guys in the wwe.
I miss the good old days of single-digit UFCs…
