Don Frye/old school appreciation thread

[aashmore]

I just finished watching the Don Frye episode of fightography about the early UFC tournaments and damn what a fucking man

If you haven't watched it yet it was great

He of course talked about how fighters currently couldn't or wouldn't do what they used to do in terms of fighting multiple times in one night (yes he mentioned that fighters now know more and are more well rounded and are more skilled)

While it's not allowed by the athletic commissions I doubt that most fighters (aside from some like cowboy) would be willing to do it

We should all respect those guys for being fucking gladiators and brawling for entertainment

Best moustache in the game. Still to this day.

Manliest man

 

[Ez Eric]

One of the toughest bastards I have ever seen.
I wish we could see a prime Frye match up against the LHWs and HWs of today.

Just about to finish it. Dudes an American Badass.

Lots of great wars involving Frye. That Shamrock-Frye fight is a classic: both guys showed tremendous heart and grit.

Took the horseshoe outta Burt Reynold's ass and beat him over the head with it.

Uncle Creepy's is far superior

Uncle Creepy's is far superior

Uncle Creepy's is just creepy.
Don Frye's is manly.

Uncle Creepy's is far superior

I'm a fan of UC but Don's moustache would fuck UC's moustache in the ass. No romo.

Don was a badass and I enjoyed watching his fights back in the day.

Frye is one of my favorite men that ever lived but his Ultimate Ultimate 96 tournament victory should have an asterisk by it, same goes for Oleg in UFC 6. Tank was the real motherfucker in both of those tournaments.

 

[STRAWBOSS]

don frye was an awesome and scary tom selleck mutha fucka.

also see sig.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

War Frye, so many good memories.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Don Frye has

He could have panicwrestled against Tank from the get-go, but he chose to stand and bang for the hell of it. His face was turned into mush within a minute and he was practically KOed by a Tankjab, but he survived and won anyway. Beast.

 

[SouthernThrown]

I especially liked the time when he was drunk and got ktfo by that random guy!
