The Day When Tarzan and “The Beast” Got Together
Thursday, August 24th, 2017 | Uncategorized
The annual Tarzan convention was held August 3-5 in Coldwater, Michigan, and that gave longtime friends Dan “the Beast” Severn (right) and Mike Chapman (left) a chance to get together again…and do a little arm wrestling for fun. Dan was an All-American wrestler in college at Arizona State who went into mixed martial arts and became a super star. He is a former three-time champion of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) and is a veteran of nearly 130 cage matches. He was world heavyweight champion in professional wrestling, as well. Dan has appeared in several movies and TV shows and is member of numerous halls of fame. He owns a MMA training facility in Coldwater and came to the Tarzan convention to hang out with Mike, who was a guest speaker and exhibitor. Mike, who is a member of 9 halls of fame, has hosted three Tarzan conventions and is a former recipient of the Golden Lion award, the top honor in the Tarzan world.

Did the “Iowa Athlete” beat the Sun Devil?
I hope you are doing well. I’m turning 70 and enjoying my 7 grandsons and one granddaughter.
Take care old friend.
