Don Frye - Debut of a predator in MMA

Bid Daddy's crucifix and elbow hailstorm is one of the most memorable KOs in MMA.

Dude was the only arm-wrestler in the world who could hang with a prime John Brzenk. Those have to be the strongest elbows thrown in the history of MMA.

Evan all these years later, this has always been my favorite UFC event. I loved the David v Goliath tournament.

[@debbiemiller4281]

Don Frye, one of the pioneers of MMA. That man belongs amongst the best. Ken Shamrock is the godfather of MMA but The Predator belongs on the Mount Rushmore of early MMA for sure. Got to love Frye & Severn. Shamrock, Frye, Severn, Coleman, & Ruas would be my Rushmore of the beginning.

I had this on VHS and watched it a ton as a kid. Has always been one of my all time favorite UFC events!!

[@biosphere8488]

I remember ordering and watching this on pay per view. Was my first time ever watching anything like this in the world of sports. It was incredible to watch how Don Frye evolved in the coming years.

[@ChenevertM]

Me too It was my first time to see something like this. I was recording it on like a VHS or something.

[@BrianTrybus]

Frye has so many amazing fights it kills me. I remember him from youth... back-in-the-day in Tempe. Focus on wife, kids & life... I lost track of what was going on in the fight world. Although later I knew his Judo coach, Steve, from pointers shared at tournaments. All of us in the Judo community respected Steve's grit & knowledge... frightening to see that skill manifested in anyone Frye's size!. It's just so fun & awesome to see what a phenom he became at the professional level & to realize that two of the guys from ASU did so darn well. Watching all the videos of Don & Dan owning the MMA world has been one of my true pleasures of late. Thanks for sharing all the past fights!

[@normie2716]

Did he say that man was a student of Tank Abbott? Where was class held? PT's Pub on Main Street?

[@Last_one_before_I_go]

Frye was a definite badass.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

When Don was born, the doctor said "congratulations Mrs. Frye, it's a man"

[@JuggoJuggo]

Funny, one of the biggest war mongers ever in politics was against MMA, probably because he couldn't get his cut.

[@favrerules04]

The most anticipated "super fight" in history: Frye's stash v. Norris' beard

[@paintedwarrior516]

For Don Frye to pummel Goodrich like that showed just how badass Don was. Big Daddy was no joke, he was a badass too, but Don was the fighter with more heart and determination. Like the saying goes...its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. Don Frye's was massive. His fight with the Japanese fighter, Takayama was one of the best fights of all time.

[@oscaralegre3683]

Back when they had 5 or 6 fights in just 1 day...now they fight once every 2 years

[@oneDonly]

My friend watched the takayama fight and saw the mustache and said “ that guy is awesome what’s his name? Dan fry?”. I said “ don frye”. He said “ even better!” I’ll never forget that for some reason.

[@sylvesterbestertester1013]

Frye wasn't the first example of an all around fighter, but probably the most popular. Marco Haus (the last name spelling is wrong, can't remember how to spell it) was the first all around. A BJJ black belt with great boxing and excellent Muay Tai skills. One of his fights which I think was that monster of a Canadian, Paul Varleens, he beat with leg kicks alone. Marcos kicked his leg so many times and so hard, Paul could no longer stand.

I appreciate the free content and love your videos, the only criticism I have is that you regularly get things wrong. For example 9:23 “he inexplicably makes a sweep”. That’s not inexplicable at all it’s a basic sweep. And “Gary ends up in his half guard” it was not half guard, it was full guard.

[@philodox7599]

I don’t think he is, I think the person that makes these videos has no idea what they are talking about. For example they call full guard half guard, say “inexplicable sweep” when it’s a basic BJJ sweep, say that Gary was the heaviest of the Goliaths and Don was the lightest of the David’s. Many many other technique errors are made in explaining what is happening in the fights.
