\nB<\/span>eaches, sun, margaritas, hangovers.<\/strong> Yep, Mexico is a pretty awesome place and has all the ingredients for a fun time. It also contains some crazy ideas about what “No Holds Barred” fights should entail, or at least it did back when Dan “The Beast” Severn was getting started in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.\n<\/p>\n

\nDan Severn stopped by the show to talk about his career, the UFC as it is today, fighters that he likes to watch, PED’s in MMA, Mixed Martial Arts as a mainstream sport, his game plan against Royce Gracie, why he fought for so long, his wrestling career in the WWE, the WWF Brawl for All pay per view, who has the better mustache between himself and Don Frye, who in MMA needs to grow a mustache ASAP…….and a crazy story about a fight event that he was offered in Mexico some years ago, that actually involved dogs and roosters!\n<\/p>\n

\nInterview highlights below<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

On weird request to fight in Mexico<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019d be getting this pager and they’d say when it goes off, call the number. There will be a ticket waiting for you, you\u2019ll fly to a designated area, you\u2019ll be picked up, you\u2019ll be taken out to a designated area and you\u2019ll be part of tonight\u2019s festivities of entertainment. Now that was back in the No Holds Barred era. Now one of them – and I\u2019ll elaborate more on this one – was being held in Mexico. And this organization wanted to be tougher than what the current UFC was. They wanted no rules whatsoever. So eye gouging and biting would be allowed and the competition was going to be taking place in an actual Cock fighting pit. They wanted to start off with roosters, progress to dogs and in the main event have human beings, all in the same pit, spilling blood in all three categories. And you could wear Levi jeans and cowboy boots on top of that. Now I declined that opportunity because I kept thinking, if I should somehow win this match will I make it out of this arena, or out of this country before, you know the promoter might wanna take me out back and you\u2019ll find my body in an alley way somewhere? So I did decline that one.\u201d<\/p>\n

On being approached to use Steroids, Growth Hormones and being Chemical free for his whole career.<\/strong>

\n <\/p>\n

\n“To start a career at the age I did, with the success ratio that I had; and the fact is, I can claim lifetime chemical free status. You find another heavyweight that can claim that. It does not walk this planet. I know most of these groups and organizations. I probably know most of their suppliers, only because I\u2019m also involved in the gym industry for quite a few years and I\u2019ve been around steroids, growth hormones all my entire life, I just never bothered to cross the line to go into it. Cause I\u2019ve had some groups approach me and say \u201cDan Severn on your national physical shape and size, we can take your 260 pound frame and we could probably put you up to about three and a quarter (pounds), ripped at about six precent body fat, you\u2019d have 25 to 30 percent more power\u201d. And to me it\u2019s like, bottom line is there Denis and Kacper, I take a great deal of pride in the fact that I have achieved all my success on my own ability. I didn\u2019t have to take a shot, I didn\u2019t have to take a pill, I just simply walked out there and I got the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the ability to build athletes with PED\u2019s<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n \u201cToday, If you wanted to make Frankenstein, you really could make Frankenstein. You could take a seven foot tall basketball frame of a body, and put them on the right chemicals, and put them through the right type of training, you could build a freak-a-saurus that weighs probably three to four hundred pounds and will destroy anything that climbs into the cage with it. But did it win on its own ability? No.\u201d <\/p>\n
