Filed under: News By the time he showed up at the Tokyo Dome on Oct. 11, 1997, for a fight against a pro wrestler who he was practically guaranteed to beat at an event dubbed PRIDE 1, Rickson Gracie was already an MMA legend. What else do you expect when you’ve got over 400 fights and no defeats? Yeah, well. About that.

Don Frye most certainly doesn’t want winner of ‘Tank’ Abbott vs. Dan Severn

Don Frye Don Frye could easily have a job if he wanted to join a promotion that’s pushing old UFC legends. But that’s about the last thing the 50-year-old Arizona native is thinking about these days. “Nope, I’m tired of this bull(expletive),” he told MMAjunkie Radio. Frye, a regular guest on the show, was responding to a question of whether he might step out of retirement to face off with the winner of an upcoming rematch between UFC Hall of Famer Dan Severn (101-19-7) and David “Tank” Abbott (10-15), who are 57 and 50, respectively. The two return to MMA for an Internet-streamed combat variety show that takes place March 20 at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, just a few hours from Frye’s hometown of Sierra Vista, Ariz. Frye might enjoy watching his aging colleagues strap on the gloves one more time, but his days in the sport have passed.
