DVD Review: First SuperFight Champion Crowned!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early days of MMA, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) would be hosted in many obscure venues in the U.S. Such was the case when Casper , Wyoming would be the site for a meeting of two individuals on top of their respective MMA careers. On one side stood decorated Greco Roman wrestler Dan Severn versus seasoned Shootfighter Ken Shamrock in a battle to determine the first "Superfight" champion of the UFC. Along with this battle, the standard 8-man tournament format would bring back a couple of proven veterans along with newcomers eager to make first impressions and more. In the thin air of Casper , Wyoming the stage was set for a UFC "they" still talk about.
The 8-man tournament began with a paralyzing barrage and ended with two exhausted men lying on the Octagon gasping for air.
Three veterans who fell short of winning previous tournaments from past UFCs were back to stamp their name in the MMA history books as UFC tourney champions.
Canadian wrestler David Beneteau who was a finalist in UFC 5, was back with his heavy hands to claim what was almost his in the previous UFC. In UFC 5, Beneteau who was entered as an alternate defeated Asbel Cancio in an alternate elimination fight via strikes in only: 21 seconds. Beneteau assumed his night was over, but was called up after Jon Hess pulled out due to injury. As the alternate, he obliterated Todd Medina via strikes on the ground to advance to the finals against Dan Severn. In the finals, Severn was too much for Beneteau as he key-locked the tough Canadian to glory. In UFC 6, he was clearly regarded as one of the favorites to win.
UFC 1 and 2 participant, Pat Smith was back to win the tournament he twice let slip by. In both UFC 1 and 2 he was the hometown fighter with heavy support from the local Denver crowd. In Casper , he had a decent following as well. His only losses in MMA were against respected fighters (Kimo Leopoldo, Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock), so he definitely brought experience to the show. His Achilles heal in all three losses was his inability to defend himself once the match hit the mat. His fighting experience was a key to his aspirations of coming out on top.
Sambo stylist Oleg Taktarov, who participated in UFC 5 too was back to show the world he was capable of winning the tournament. In his first round fight in UFC 5, he defeated a hard striking kempo stylist Ernie Verdicia via neck crank. His ground game was smooth and his set up for the crank was a textbook elevator sweep from the guard. His second round opponent would be none other than the "Beast" Dan Severn. He would hold his own against the bigger Severn and actually come close to an arm bar, but the Beast lived up to his nickname by opening cuts on Taktarov's head. With Oleg bleeding terribly, referee John McCarthy had no other choice but to halt the match and award it to Severn . Taktarov had to prove he could defend himself and avoid being cut very bad as he was by Severn .
The newcomers to the UFC were all looking to make an impact and perhaps steal the show.
David "Tank" Abbott was billed as an experienced "Pitfighter" from Huntington Beach . While his "discipline" was in question, his demeanor and size alone appeared to back up his claims. He wore the "black hat" with pride and showed no respect to any opponents. His rumored hard hands and power would be put to the test.
The biggest man, poundage-wise, John Matua entered the tournament with the ancient Hawaiian art of bone braking, Kuialua as his discipline. On tape, he appeared very quick for a man weighing in at 400 pounds. His size alone could add an extra advantage.
Rudyard Moncayo claimed to have been a "Todo Dare" champion of South America . He was a bit of a mystery, but by a couple of accounts seemed to have a Kenpo background. Coupled with a decent build, his quick strikes could pose problems to any opponent.
Standing an impressive 6'8" and weighing in at 300 plus pounds, Alaskan native Paul Varelans was properly coined the name "the Polar Bear". While his discipline was a question mark (Trap-Fighting), his size alone was his biggest weapon.
Spiritually sound Tae Kwon Do expert Cal Worsham brought a confident demeanor to the UFC 6 Tournament. His dedication to his students and his close ones was the fire that brought him to this point of his career.
The aforementioned Tournament final would last an incredible 17 plus minutes! Two fighters entered quite fresh, but would both succumb to the thin Casper air. After a game battle, the winner was lifted up and strapped on with a nice shiny belt. He was carried out by his teammates showing enthusiasm behind an exhausted face.
With the tournament out of the way, the Super Fight was next. In UFC 5, a similar Super Fight was contested between UFC 1, 2, and 4 Tournament Champion Royce Gracie against Ken Shamrock who had earned glory in Japan as "King of Pancrase". Their fight would go the distance including a 5+ minute overtime period. In the end a draw was announced as the verdict to a dejected crowd. Both fighters were asked to headline the main event for UFC 6, but Royce Gracie decided against it. With Ken Shamrock only accepting, the UFC decided to pit him up against UFC 5 Tournament winner Dan Severn. The battle made sense and would pit two fighters that were rated at the top of the MMA world. Their battle would start off cautiously, but a costly error would be enough for the eventual winner to capitalize and become the first UFC Super Fight Champion!
