Old School vs. New School

On August 22nd, Gladiator Challenge Heavyweight Champion Dave Huckaba will defend his title against MMA legend Dan "The Beast" Severn. Severn, a UFC Hall of Famer, has built one of the most unique careers in combat sports, with a very decorated amateur career to go along with his near 100 MMA victories. His domain is the ground, and he rarely strays far from that area. Huckaba, on the other hand, is a stand-up fighter known for his devastating strikes. Nine of his eleven victories have come via TKO/KO, and he does have big-fight experience. But he's never stepped into the cage against someone with the level of experience that "The Beast" has. It's not clear who will win, but it's very clear what the game plan for each fighter will be.
Severn is going to look to utilize his world-class ground game to take Huckaba down and keep him there. He'll look to submit him, or drop heavy hands from the top position. Huckaba, meanwhile, is going to look to keep the fight standing, where he will try to put the legend to sleep with his hands. Its a classic striker versus grappler match-up, and the outcome will depend on who can impose their will on who.
It's a fight that is gaining a lot of attention and buzz, and rightfully so. Regardless of who walks out with the belt, it should be a great, exciting fight, and fight fans in attendance will be treated to a memorable event. |
