Dan Severn would come out of retirement to face the winner of Gracie vs. Shamrock III in Bellator

If you think that Bellator 149's main event on Feb. 19, 2016 between Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock is a one-off freakshow, allow "The Beast" to disabuse you of that notion.

Dan Severn, 57, retired in 2013 with an astounding mixed martial arts (MMA) record of 101-19-7. A loser in both the UFC 4 and UFC 6 tournament finals with Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock, respectively, Severn is taking the outcome of Bellator 149 very seriously.

"I think there is an appetite for, I don't know, call it a masters division, like they have in other sports," Severn told MMAjunkie.
