Don Frye

Don Frye dominated the world of mixed martial arts for 6 straight years. A former pro boxer and a licensed firefighter, Don Frye made an impressive professional fight debut by knocking out 6'1", 410 pound Thomas Ramirez in 8 seconds. Frye captured his first Ultimate Fighting Championship on Feb. 16, 1996 defeating Ramirez and two other opponents. On May 17, 1996, Frye defeated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion Amaury Bitetti in a wild brawl. After losing his tile to Mark Coleman, Frye went undefeated for the next 8 years, beating among others Ken Shamrock and Tank Abbott. However, age and injuries caught up to Frye, and after going 15-1 in MMA, he retired 20-8-1 (1 no-contest).
