In the main event, UFC Hall of Famer Dan “The Beast” Severn (87 wins, 16 losses, 7 draws) makes his Gladiator Challenge return against Chris Wood. One of pioneers of MMA, and holder of over 100 recognized titles and championships, Severn’s legacy in the sport has been cemented. He has locked horns with some of the best fighters in the world; the list is a virtual “who’s who” of the cage and the squared circle. Ken Shamrock, Mark Coleman, Royce Gracie, Oleg Taktarov, Tank Abbott, Jeremy Horn, Kimo, Pat Militech, Josh Barnett, Pedro Rizzo, and even Forrest Griffin have all tasted the fury of “The Beast.” But Severn is not done yet. Having conquered the worlds of amateur wrestling, pro wrestling, and mixed martial arts, “THE BEAST” is hungry for more, and he’s not going to let any up-and-comer make their name off of his reputation.

Gladiator Challenge heavyweight Chris Wood looks to step up his game when he takes on Dan Severn at “THE BEAST.” Wood may lack Severn’s huge amount of experience, but he’s a hungry young lion looking to make his name in the sport. He’s ready to make his mark on MMA, and show that he’s deserving of a Gladiator Challenge heavyweight title shot. With the element of surprise in his corner, Wood is looking for a dominating finish.

Also featured at “THE BEAST” will be undefeated Gladiator Challenge light-heavyweight Willis Ferguson going at it with the tough and experienced Jarret Kelton. Young guns Kenny Marzola and Mike Arrant also look to lock horns in an anticipated bout. With 10 scheduled fights on the card, Gladiator Challenge and “THE BEAST” are set to show the MMA world what real action is all about!
