[MyBrothersKeeper]

Don Frye is the only man Chuck Norris has on speed dial

[MartinGuttenberg]

Don Still a Legend no matter what.. 💪🤠

[johnstoddard]

Don't talk shit on the man who gives every man an example of what a genuine badass male role model archetype should be!

[Badguy]

Hey man Don is a former champ ..it was probably pretty hard to give it up...respect to him either way

[gloomey]

Go when you are at your peak, after the peak it goes down . Thats a law

[dudetheblessed]

Do Frye is the only man Chuck Norris calls sir.

[bio-plasmictoad]

When Don got knocked out, it was always bad one's.

[Billy-yusk]

Don: Do I look done!?

Interviewer: Oh

[natefloss]

Fighter's life styles were different back then it wasn't really a healthy fitness recovery type era unlike all fighter's of today mainly.

[darkonojic]

-So, you are not Don?
"Do i look Don?"
-I would say you do

[spookydascary]

It's like what Tony Ferguson is going through. Sad when you love the sport so much but can't hang it up due to age or something.

[marklayne]

(Don Frye) Do I Look Done?
Don Frye and Tom Selleck could definitely pass for brothers.

[ricksheedy]

When Don was born the doctor said “Congratulations, it’s a man!”

[billfranks]

When Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he first checks under his bed for Don Frye's testosterone....

[jamiehall]

Probably like a lot, they keep going for the $$$. Especially back then. Imo, of course. He's still the freaking man, though.

[Thumper]

15-1 record? Sure you fight again. Its when you string 3+ losses together that you need to step away. You want to go out on a win or do you want to go out with your brain intact?

[FACTS.not.FEELINGS.vet.]

Wtf only 15-1 haha I could have sworn the way people talk about him he had at least 30 fights hahah I mean literally most older fighters are 30 deep plus fights especially the ones who went from pride to ufc I mean just an example rampage Jackson record is 38 wins and 14 losses hahahaha he's fought more then most ufc fighter combined hahaha

[coreyjohnson]
