These guys put it ALL on the line for very little money. The double leg lock at the end, neither man willing to bend, waiting for the other to give up.... if the bell hadn't rung, they'd probably still be there today all tied up, waiting for the other to tap. That's true warrior mentality. Mad respect.

Ken Shamrock was my favorite fighter as a kid watching UFC (he's probably my favorite fighter ever). Loved Tank Abbot as well. Did not like or appreciate Don Frye or Dan Severn, then, though. I had thought they were too boring to watch. But now, I realize just how spoiled I was to have been able to watch any of them. As I clearly did not understand what kind of man you had to be to step into that ring. Mentally and physically. It's one thing to know how to fight. And it's quite another to fight in that ring in front of everyone, and against the best. Especially then. Reminds me of when my dad had told me about Steve Scott and his multiple world records in running-and how, despite the records, the man had never won gold at the Olympics because he simply didn't have the guts to compete against the best.

Grew up with Ken Shamrock... inside the ring he's an animal, outside the ring he's as mellow as can be!!

Best part of the fight, the sportsmanship at the end. ❤

Is it just me or did i see yoshihiro in the audience at the very end? What a great fight and respect to both fighters

Don Frye's one of a kind ... A great warrior in the ring outside the ring hes a pure genetleman and patriot who loves being American 🇺🇸

I love how at the end when Don is celebrating at the ropes, you can see Yoshihiro Takayama staring at him from the crowd.

A total classic, what a great match !!!!

Brutal..... This fight is underrated

I think the strike Frye landed that put Ken to the ground was the decision breaker there. Otherwise it was an evenly matched fight through and through. It was like if each one of them were cloned and had to fight themself, that’s what we had here. They were identical in there moves and fighting style but someone had to be declared a winner. Such a close fight👍

It could do either way, Ken won the first round, tie on the second, Frye in the third. Would've been a great draw.... or coin flip

Too bad there no King of the Streets then. No rounds, anything goes, fight continues to knockout or submission.

@@Strongboy1770 speaking of, that would have been amazing to see these two Warriors and Marco Ruas in their prime in a Japanese Tournament😱 throw in a prime Oleg T and let er rip💪🏻

Warriors..Intensity..Skills..Determination..Bravery..Stoic..For the Honor..Respect..Don did win it and remains one of my all time favorites!!❤️👍🏼

Despite his mean appearance and disposition…Don Frye is an extremely nice and caring man. Don is an absolute American legend!

How can I find out what they each weighed at this event?

Bas Ruten as announcer! LEGENDARY

I liked Bas but the thing was just steroids and fixed fights. And they didn't ever get the best people. So was just a niche drug sport

Holy COW!!!! 2 freaking STUDS right there boys!!!! Just don't see men like this very often anymore. DAMN impressive!! Two champs in my book.

I always wanted this rematch

When Don pulled his knee back into the kneeline when he was already out, i was like noooo wrong way bro haha... Knowledge of submissions is so much more now at all levels

Love the old UFC fights. Respect to Don and Ken. Great fight with good discipline and sportsmanship 👍

I could barely watch the whole time! The savagery was insane throughout. Mad respect to them both
