Education

Dan graduated from San Dieguito High School in 1985. Quinn attended the University of Notre Dame from 1986 to 1987 as a recruit and would be a student at San Diego State University numerous times in the transpiring years.

Football

Quinn played football at Notre Dame.[1] While attending the school, he was involved in a bitter feud with Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz and starter Frank Stams. Quinn alleged that Holtz assaulted players and engaged in illegal point shaving by not allowing him more time on the field to make "spectacular fucking plays".[2]

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.

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.[3] 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.[4] Quinn then went on hiatus from MMA for four years.

In his return fight, Quinn KO'd Muay Thai/X-Arm fighter Bond Lapua, who outweighed him by fifty pounds. Quinn next fought Harry Gopaul, questionably losing via KO when the second round went 15 seconds over the scheduled duration.[5] Quinn next fought Aaron Brink who won via TKO to strikes. Quinn most recently suffered a loss at the hands of Rick Vardell.
