      It definitely is up there. Couldn't he have made a lot more money as a boxer? I think he'd be a sort of Rocky Marciano type. He and Mike Tyson would have been something to watch! While Frye used other marshal disciplines, it appeared to me that boxing was his primary tactic.

I think his amateur record starting off was 2 - 6, so once you have 6 losses in 8 fights the promoters will only ever look at you as a stepping stone. I'd have liked to see how far Don could've gone in pure boxing if he started out younger.

      They should but they have always been Super Cheap, I mean just have the ones that are in a lower bracket apply for say 250 a month would surely help some of them a great deal.
      It's going to happen one day because of lawsuits and shit, I'm not saying anyone should win a lawsuit because they got what they signed up for(and Frye certainly would admit this to be true) but you see Judges give a group of people who didn't even pass the Entrance exam to be a Fireman in New York be given millions of Tax Payer Dollars and forced the City to hire them as fire men(There are thousands of cases similar to this) so one day some judge will definitely rule in their favor against the UFC so if they want to stop that from happening(or have a good excuse to give the judge) No.1 would be showing they care for the fighters health and having a pension.
      But do they, Naw I don't think they really do(not enough to say they do) so don't expect this anytime soon.

    One hell of man. The terminator keeps a pic of him in his wallet.

    This speech could have been 4 hours long and I would have listened to every minute of it.
    One of the best fighters ever and maybe the absolute toughest.

    This speech is great for getting me through hard, heavy workouts. Don Frye is the fucking man. Can't stress how much that clip at the start gives me manly tears. Everything about him is legendary, his power, his fighting spirit, his patriotism. 💪🇺🇲

    i can't understand why ufc legends and hall of famers are ever having to practically beg for money for operations when dana and many ufc fighters are making so much money, they're part of a brotherhood, an elite group that should be looking out for eachother, especially the sacrificial lambs like coleman, goodridge, frye, they could easily spread the word for fundraising...plenty of money to go around, hall of famers hopefully have special privileges with ufc facilities, events etc. for LIFE, why not
