He's also a legitimately cool guy. About 12 or so years ago, a buddy of mine brought me to a Godzilla fan festival in Chicago which Don was attending as a guest. We happened to get in the elevator together at one point, when I told him "I don't know much about Godzilla, but your fight against Takeyama was one of the most badass things I've seen in my life." He laughed, and in his gravelly-as-hell voice said "well thanks! I'm heading down to the bar in a bit, would you like me to buy you a couple beers?" And he was true to his word. He grabbed a stool next to me at the bar and we chatted for a while about the upcoming (at that time) Forrest Griffin vs Rampage Jackson fight. Seriously, he's an all-around quality guy.

that dude is crazy. When i was a kid doing jiu jitsu I use to never tap but then i broke my jaw or some shit and after that I would immediately tap. dude is crazy for taking all that punishment and being like "nah i still wont tap"

Don Frye's moustache is a Stand, that's how good he was....... He is also the only MMA fighter to go toe to toe with Godzilla.....

My favorite Don Frye movie was "Nagurimono", in which he and Yoshihiro Takayama re-enacted their legendary PRIDE bout. You can watch the fight from that movie on daylimotion www.dailymotion.com/video/x8ksde It's so heart-breaking to see how Takayama looks these days, the man is such a warrior to keep fighting every day in his condition to regain as much mobility as possible (he's basically paralysed from the neck down). He still rocks his old Hawtness© haircut though, can't take that from him!

Don Frye was Ravishing Rick Rude in a real sport. If there's ever a Final Fight, Don Frye is the mayor we deserve. Don't send the military to the CCP, send Don Frye. His fists are nuclear deterrents. His suplexes are God's wrath.

😂 good enough to make me laugh at the thumbnail. Congrats

He had the true warrior spirit. Good technique and heart for days! Loved watching his fights. No quit in that man.

I watch the Takayama fight almost every month. Don is my Favourite of all time.💪

I remember watching this as a kid. Takayama probably felt like he was in one of those dreams where you try to punch and it does nothing to the other guy.

"with some training in Judo" He's a 2 Dan black belt, bro. That's not "some"

Stylistically speaking, his wrestling dominated, but when you looked a bit closer, there was always the Judo there to refine his takedowns. His submission game was obviously mainly from Judo. Oddly enough, he almost never mentioned his Judo merits.

Outstanding quick n thorough vid!! You keep these up you’ll be huge 💪 I watched all of the UFC since the very first days never would miss Don Frye. And when I saw Royce Gracie beat Dan Severn, I was loyal forever.

Cool video and great survey of Don's career. His stare down had most people beaten before the blows started.

Good video. I trained here with Don for a few years(back when he fought Ken Shamrock) and was on his IFL team. You are right to say he was an intimidating person. This persona is not an act but He was always good about taking care of his people. He is a genuine badass, there are few like him...

Dan Fry was the toughest son of man.. He fights anyone, anytime, anywhere.. No question ask..just fight.a truly warrior. Hope he gets well..

Loved this video, fair and true. Thank you Sir.

Keep on keeping on brother you look like you got a future in this

He was one of the toughest fighter I have ever seen this dude had heart and he could bang with the best of them.

nah he was soft. as a boxer he used to get knocked out by garbage men and cab drivers

The Frye vs Shamrock fight was absolutely EPIC!

Well done brother man you speak clearly effectively and honestly therefore you should go far! Don Frye is definitely our guy!

a legend with iconic fights.

I'll never forget his performance at Wembley 86. Live Aid was so memorable.

Hey you wound up doing it! I stopped watching this channel like a year ago after asking for a Don Frye video about 50 times lol. I didn't even get recommended this video until just now.

This should be a movie series

A warrior and a complete animal in his prime
