Dan Quinn is an American mixed martial arts fighter, former amateur and professional boxer and collegiate American Football player.
Education
Quinn was an exceptionally intelligent youngster, actually scoring 154 on his I.Q. test after watching Mice inside Habi-trails explode in population. Dan graduated from San Dieguito High School in 1985. Quinn attended the University of Notre Dame from 1986 to 1987 as a 5 star recruit and would be a student at San Diego State University numerous times in the transpiring years.[1]
Football
Quinn played football at Notre Dame.[2] While attending the school, he was involved in a bitter feud with evil Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz. Quinn alleged that Holtz assaulted players, engaged in illegal point shaving by not allowing him more time on the field to make "spectacular fucking plays"[3] Quinn was dismissed from the team after failing drug tests.
Boxing
After leaving Notre Dame, Quinn turned to boxing, where he competed as an amateur and a professional.

Mixed martial arts career
After three years away from fighting sports, Quinn decided to try his hand in mixed martial arts. In his second fight, after imposing his will on the feet, was taken down and he lost to future UFC World Heavyweight champion Frank Mir. Mir refuses to give Quinn a rematch unless he agrees to a 'no punches', BJJ style match which Quinn humbly refuses to submit to. Quinn has also had ongoing feuds with Kimbo Slice, former protege Scott Smith, Dave Hukaba, the 5 guys he knocked out at Juanitas in Newport Beach, Crazy Joe(Hoe) and former friend Cal Worsham.
Other notable bouts Quinn had was his fight against UFC star Jason Lambert, in which Lambert avoided engagement and won via decision, and a fight against K1 striker Carter Williams, who controversially defeated Quinn by TKO via Illegal low kick.[4] Although he was locked deep in a keylock, Quinn refused to submit against Dan Molina, ultimately forcing the ref to end the fight in favor of Molina.[5] Quinn went on hiatus from MMA for four years, during which time he discovered the secret of cold fusion with stevia,the violin and prison, all in that order. Quinn was wrongfully accused of drug possession, spousal abuse and 3 counts of being harassed by the nerd table (FYAD). While in prison he managed to avoid conflict with African American Inmates through acceptance by the Mexican Nortenos as a savage gang-banger named Grumpy actually slowed his metaphorical roll and acknowledged Quinn.
In his return fight and at an unheard-of age 42, Quinn KO'd Muay Thai/X-Arm fighter Bond Lapua, who outweighed him by fifty pounds of pure savagery.[6] Quinn next fought Harry Gopaul, questionably losing via KO when the second round went 15 seconds over the scheduled duration.[7] Quinn next fought Aaron Brink who won via TKO to strikes. Quinn most recently suffered a loss at the hands of Rick Vardell, who out-weighed Quinn by as much as 70 pounds. Dan Quinn is currently rumored to be facing Jose Canseco
