[1994-11-30-UWFi] Kiyoshi Tamura vs Dan Severn

[superkix]

Severn foregoes the handshake (foreshadowing things to come) and he really just tries to his his size to his advantage to grab Tamura, throw him, and smother him on the mat, looking for a loose limb to snag for a submission. Unfortunately for Dan, Tamura never really seems in danger as he's always able to grab a rope before things escalate. Then Tamura starts in with the leg kicks, to which Dan does an incredible job of selling. Tamura catches him in the lip with a lightning-quick palm strike that leaves Dan bloodied, and from there on, he's fully in the driver's seat, taking the lumberjack approach to finally chop Severn down for the TKO finish. A bit one sided but Dan really sold it here, and I liked it quite a bit.
