Man they loved Frye in Japan. He was like a stereotypical American anime character come to life lol

That is probably the cleanest description of Don Frye that I have ever heard, in my life. Ever!

2 legends.. too bad ufc wont post all cro cops fights

[@Maximillion666]

The early UFC pissed me off . I feel like these guys were used and never got the compensation they deserved.

[@oldironsides4107]

There was no money in it. Guys just loved to fight back that knowing they weren’t making anything

[@mattsweeny3957]

Yup. They wuz robbed! Tank Abbott said he would do it for free!

[@codybuffoord3172]

You'de think Dana would find a way to make all these guys some money, maybe he has but these guys deserve more than our respect

[@oscarkoop2548]

Don't forget Don Frye just fought a 20 minute match with a 5 minute break before fighting mark.

[@Hyvelez]

Wait what? With who?

[@Topmotorcycles9079]

wow i didn't know that Don is an absolute warrior

[@George18798]

It was at UFC 10, not here

[@jackwillson8099]

Yes people for get about that these new mma fighters could never do that !

[@mortallious1234]

Or he had a quick warm up before the main event.

[@danadane2501]

Frye did an excellent job sprawling on those double legs by Mark. He got that last one by throwing the left hook and getting Don worries about getting clipped. Any wrestling coach will tell you to not ahoot from so far away but Mark is such an incredible athlete and wrestler he could get away with in almost all of his fights.

[@CruzRamonDiaz]

Don fríe es increíble, Mark no pudo comérselo vivo, aún estando en el suelo batalló. Si alguien que no viera la pelea y ve el estado en que quedó cada uno diría ganó Don frey. Solo miren el ojo de Mark coleman

[@gromfromunderthepalm4112]

​@@CruzRamonDiaz not to mention busted mouth lol

[@oldironsides4107]

Coleman was one of the greatest mma wrestlers of all time. He took down everyone he fought even when he was ancient. Except he couldn’t get cro cop down.

[@danadane2501]

@@oldironsides4107 Yeah did you see how Mark was repeating the same double leg shot without setting it up against CroCop?. Mark may have been able to get away with that a few years earlier. However in wrestling they always tell us not to shoot unless you can first touch your opponent. Also to chain different attempts together. From that far you shoot a single then switch to a double back and forth or to a high crotch. Not making excuses for Mark, Mirko was the better fighter. It just surprised me Mark went for the same shot repeatedly when it didn't work the first 3 times.

[@flashinthepan3273]

At least Don won the stare down. 😕

[@filth6996]

That reaction for Frye was amazing. Japanese mma fans are the best.

[@Bulmas_Panties]

Kinda funny how the whole samurai spirit thing was probably the last thing on Frye's mind while he was in Japan but it ended up being exactly why they fell in love with him. Toughing out that heel hook against Shamrock and the chaotic slugfest with sexyama are as Yamato Damashii as it gets.

[@tetilaw]

Gotta give em props for literally giving their all to entertain. Not sure how wise, but God bless them.

[@wheelbarrow23]

Bro tbh I don't even think those guys juiced that hard if at all. Frye was a Firefighter and worked shoeing horses. Both jobs require a great amount of strength. He looks natural tbh. Most young FF's have a build like Frye's.

[@everythingisokmjmklfrth]

It’s not that hard

[@everythingisokmjmklfrth]

To get hit lol

[@Pillmanized]

​@@wheelbarrow23Frye juiced for sure. He admitted to TRT. I doubt he blasted as much as Coleman but get real..natural? Come on. He's 38 here or almost 38. You can't just look at physique to judge whether or not they are blasting. A big part of the roids is injury healing...these guys put their bodies through a lot, the roids would help recovery immensely .. so it ain't just about bodybuilding stuff.

[@garettdegenhardt722]

Man Coleman had to have some weight on frey!! When don frey was born the dr looked at the women and said its a man!! Lol

[@klavzerblut]

2 legends. I think Coleman was at his best in PRIDE. The GP 2000 and when he came back. He moved great and fought smart. A monstrous wrestler.

[@billj4525]

That was Colemans best and his claim to fame. Pride GP 2000.

[@klavzerblut]

@@billj4525 I think 2004 Coleman beats the 2000 version. He is more skilled, has great stamina, and is very, very motivated. I think the Coleman Fedor faced was his best version. The way he moves is incredible.

Don and Mark had similar skill sets. Mark was always the better wrestler between the two and that was the difference in this fight. Classic

[@alexscott730]

And waaay stronger than Frye.

Frye has a back belt in judo with professional boxing experience. Coleman was a,div 1 NCAA champ with shitty striking....wtf

[@elev8torguy130]

@mmaallday118 don frye was also a division 1 wrestler. Not quite the caliber of coleman but division 1 nonetheless. Both of these guys were limited by today's standards. But I stand by what I said in similar skill sets.

Колман первый боец который ворвался в UFC с профессиональными навыками, это немного не честно, так как в UFC собирались бойцы которые тренеровались у себя дома и не очаствовали в олимпиадах. Они были любителями. Так что Колман немного преувеличенная фигура. В США были бойцы на много лучше.

[@alsalamone9437]

What I don't understand about fighting is when they shoot for the takedown, why doesn't the defender of the takedown, just throw elbows or knees to the head when they're putting their head down? I think if anyone was trying to take me down, I'd throw elbows, and they'd be fucked... gotta be fast, but that's just my style... never let someone take ya down without fucking them up on the way down

Considering how much more experienced and the caliber of opponent's coleman was fighting around this time, this is an admirable showing by frye. He was pro wrestling in japan as the sport was evolving and coleman was fighting. Great matchup.

[@Koyoshinkai]

I really don't like this BS on the ground, i mean if someone wants to take you down in a real fight, you just knee his head & that will it, but no you are not allowed to that, well in that case he is not allowed to take me down, that is bloody fair.

Unfortunately, Coleman was just the better wrestler and stronger. He was never going to stand up and go toe to toe with Frye would have been demolished. Frye, just kept getting in to close. Anyways, great fighters. Don the best brawler ever ..
