    Don Frye was the epitome of a warrior's spirit. Never afraid, never intimidated, always respectful after his fights with opponents. He is an inspiration and a legend. The same can be said of the many opponents he faced. Don Frye will someday die, but like the great warriors, his name will live forever.

    My dad surprised me with tickets to the Miesha Tate/Ronda Rousey fight. I had never been to such an event, nor seldom watched the sport at all, but was happy to tagalong with him. We sat roughly 3 rows back (watched that elbow snap up close and personal) and was pleasantly surprised with how many big celebrities we sat amongst (not sure how he got such good tickets). In walks Don Frye. I had no idea who this man was, only that I'd never seen my dad so excited. He hands me his phone and says "I want you to get my picture with this man, son. Even if he starts beating the shit out of me." My dad, who I chalked up as one of the strongest "working man strength" men I'd known in my life, very awkwardly approached Mr. Frye (who had a couple beers in him by this point) and goes "Excuse me, sir." Mr. Frye, without even looking, goes "No pictures!" My father retorted "How about one of you kicking my ass then?" He loved that and gladly let me take their picture together. Completely made my dad's night and as soon as we got home he showed me the video of Mr. Frye fighting Takayama. I still chuckle about that memory to this day knowing if Mr. Frye would have started laying the beatdown, my dad would have been laying on the ground with a smile and a thumbs up to have received a total whoopin from this legend.

Granted they could all beat me to a pulp but the character of people these days seems to be diminishing.

    Being from phoenix, I talked to Don at the country Club in Van Nuys, he was just a new young fighter that I liked his style, the only thing that seemed to bother him, was his wife didn't like him fighting. I' m 93 now, and I still like his grit and style. The only advice I can give him now is, Don stay in the gym, 7 days a week even if it's only half an hour a day......Randall

Men like Dan Severn don Frye and chel sonnon were larger than life and the closest thing to "pro athletes" that kids in my sport had ...
    Ps yes I am well aware of mark Coleman especially living in Ohio but as someone who has met him and paid for training camps from his organization...I was very disappointed by his shitty additude and the lack of any respect for anyone else.... I wish I had better things to say but that was my experience
