Former World Wrestling Federation (WWF) wrestler, three-time UFC World Champion and Hall-of-Famer, the Legendary Dan “The Beast” Severn will appear in Guyana in May as part of Maximum Sports Combat and strengthening (MSCS) three-year anniversary celebrations.
Severn will be expected to deliver several entertainment shows and seminars at the National Cultural Centre.
Max Massiah, host of the popular TV sports show MSCS invited Severn as a special guest of the programme.
Severn is expected to appear on the programme May 26th and share tips with live demonstrations of techniques used in wrestling, UFC and MMA fighting during the Entertainment Show and Seminar which will be held on May 28th.
Massia, who is also the producer of MSCS, said he met Severn in October 2015 at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Centre, in Pennsylvania, USA, where he was invited to attend the legends of martial arts international games and Hall-Of-Fame award ceremony.
Severn’s visit to Guyana will be a welcome initiative since associations, federations, and viewers of the MSCS programme have acknowledged the programme as the platform for disseminating information and promoting Combat and Strength Competitions/Tournaments, and bringing awareness of the accomplishments of athletes and competitors local and international.
The programme theme and motto is “Entertaining and encouraging a healthy nation through sports.”
Massiah praised the sponsors of the programme, a few of which have been supportive from the very first edition namely – Fitness Express, Jermin’s Enterprise and the Guyana Karate College. Others are A. Ally and sons, Giftland’s Sportsmax, Rossignol Butchery, Nexgen Global Marketing, Fly Jamaica, Hand-in-Hand insurance, Fantasefoods, C.I.D.I, Space Gym and Mike’s Pharmacy.
Massiah said that if all goes as planned there is a possibility of one of WWE wrestlers Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Bill Goldberg or one of the other popular Wrestlers, or UFC or MMA fighters may join Dan “the Beast” Severn, for an event on May 27.
After hosting two-time female former World Bodybuilding Champion Laura Creavalle, Massiah
, who was part of the group attempting to bring the Legendary Silver Fox to Guyana, said anything is possible.
