Have not seen many people work Frye like that. Frye was undoubtedly the toughest fighter in the UFC. Shamrock broke Frye's ankle and tore his knee, and Frye just kept going and won. unreal
@@blacksmokematters4521 would have, could have… but that’s not how it went. Albeit tank was landing some decent shots, if it remained on the feet, he could have won. But that’s not what happened.
To a certain degree, yes. But Frye took some big punches (showing incredible toughness), stood in there with Tank, and pounced when the opportunity came. Also showcased his ability on the ground
I feel honored to grow up watching those first UFC fights, when it was basically a no rules free-for-all. Tank, Gracie, Severn, Frye, Shamrock, Coleman... There will never be another era like it!
Tank was pissed because before the fight he and Don agreed to keep the fight on standing trading blows not taking it to the ground both shook hands and agreed this that's the reason tank won't shake Don's hand and is pissed and tries to walk away because he felt don didn't keep his word
By that, you mean Tank whooped his ass sideways until he literally tripped. Frye looked worse after a minute with Tank than his war with Yoshihiro, either of the Goodridge fights, or his biggest win vs Shamrock.
a light jab from a guy who benches over 600lbs regulary^^ this dude was a monster its like wacthing a Triceratops fighting a T-Rex most epic stuff ever
A good jab has bodyweight behind it all moving forward. If the other fighter is flat footed or moving away or back at the same time he gets hit then he's off balance and it's easy to slip. That's all that was. A pro boxer could eat that jab or slip that jab without much trouble at all. Even a middleweight boxer could
That takedown was nothing more than Tank having his weight perfectly set up to be vulnerable in exactly the right way for Don to give him a shove and send him flying. Don was seeing stars at that exact moment, and due to his pure heart and Tank's lack of grace - the takedown happened. Don was still punchy at the moment he was jumping on Tank's back and trying to figure out wtf just happened. Ultimately, Don won due to his heart and Tank's lack of coordination. Just for the record though, this was partly luck and Tank was just about to win before the takedown, because he was beating the every loving shit out of Don Frye. I can understand why Tank was upset, but that's where sportsmanship comes into play and you give your opponent what he's earned: respect.
Totally an accident. Don was in the hurt locker. But like all Predators they take advantage of the situation when their prey stumbles. Tank was kind of hurt, but Tank landed more cleaner shots and you can tell Don was in big trouble. Easily one of the best matches of UFC history for their age and weight class. Easily a top 3 win for Don.
Still love watching these old fights. Tank was simply that, hard hitting like a tank. You get hit by one of his projectiles, we'll, you saw what happened! Don is just a beast. 2 top fighters for sure!
@@garymorris9611 I am just saying that Frye was not good enough under boxing rules to do well at it. He got into UFC in it's infancy, The Vast majority of fighters back then were no where near as proficient in multiple disciplines like todays MMA fighters, nor did the have the same conditioning.
@@joeschmoe9154 lol most of your comments are trying to discredit don fryes wins and abilities. Yeah he didn't succeed in boxing because boxing is barely fighting, it's more technical and more so for guys that started very young and were constistant. Don was great at grappling pre ufc though(which is why he's remembered as the first well rounded fighter), and although his strength weren't lended well to boxing, he could probably beat the vast majority of boxers in a real fight while he was in his prime. One of the most dangerous guys walking around for a while just by virtue of knowing so much stuff that guys in other combat sports couldn't get around
@@Debilm4nzs-zu9bc He was a physical specimen, tough as shit and knew enough Grappling to do well in what was a Sport in it's infancy to stand out. He stood out in a field of guys who would get absolutely SMOKED if they stepped in a Ring with any decent MMA fighter today. There are LEVELS to this shit. Just like The Royce Gracie of UFC1 would not only get crushed in a UFC today, he would not even place in a IBJJF Pans or World BJJ tournament, He wouldn't even get past the first round of the ADCC no gi qualification tournaments. The sport has evolved that much.
Where do you see yourself at the end of the night? On top of a pile of bodies! Tank was such a shit talker who could back it up! Anytime he was on the card I had to order the ppv. Haha
Absolutely love both of these fighters and their styles.don might have won but he should have known you cant go toe to toe slug fest with the tank.but don is an absolute tough legend.
That's because Don was a bad motherfucker and didn't give af, he liked to scrap and no man ever made him look away, like tyson said one come come all, legend, both these guys!! I beleive they both fought matches this same night before fighting each other, crazy bastards!!!!
Tank could grapple was a decent wrestler,he didn’t train bjj though that was the problem,he thought it was for wimps,also cardio was shocking gassed easily
Don Frye had such classic Pyrrhic Victories where he took horrific beatings from guys like Tank Abbott and Yoshi Takayama, that looking at Don’s bloodied, pulverized face, one would never believe he was the actual winner.
Yup was going to say the same. Not sure if Frye could have kept eating those punches. No one can question his toughness but at some point it’s a physics problems. Then again perhaps Frye taking it to the ground was a matter of time regardless.
That was a fight! That was a fight like you’d have in the street. That fast, that intense, that much action, that serious. Couldn’t believe Frye slugged his way outta that brawl and got tank off hid feet. Super intense fight of all time early in to the cage fighting days. Can’t believe Tank up and walked out of the ring.
