Don always gives me that vibe that he drives himself home after the fight like nothing happened and just cuts the grass and drinks a beer. Maybe buys a bag of ice at a gas station. 😂
-
That staredown was insane. Don's moustache was staring down Ken's sideburns.
-
Don Frye was just Omniman's civilian disguise. What an absolute beast of a warrior.
-
Man these were the days. These guys were monsters in their day. Ken Shamrock was terrifying, Don Frye was a killer. I miss these days when it was about the sport and not so much the money. These guys put it ALL on the line for very little money. The double leg lock at the end, neither man willing to bend, waiting for the other to give up.... if the bell hadn't rung, they'd probably still be there today all tied up, waiting for the other to tap. That's true warrior mentality. Mad respect.

They don’t make Don Fryes anymore, they’ve been discontinued…
-
Juiced to the gills, two behemoths, waging war of sheer will and grit, too tough to tap. Don didn't even sit down between rounds. Ken ate dozens of kidney shots and kept coming. These two monsters are the epitome of the warrior spirit.
-
Loved to see Frye win but hated to see Shamrock lose. Huge respect to both of these guys
-
The way Ken came back from that knockdown was amazing.
-
I don’t know why, but seeing Takyama in the crowd looking up at Don Frye with utmost respect not only as a fighter, but as a true fan as well, got me all teared up even after all these years. Legends never die
-
Damn I miss Pride. 😞 Don & Ken going at it, Bas calling it, Takayama in the crowd. Epic.
-
When Don left home he told his dad, 'you're the man of the house now'.
-
Love the mutual show of respect at the end, and then for Don to raise Shamrock's hands in the air as well. These are two of the all time greats in more than one way.
-
Win, lose, or draw, Don Frye always gave it all. The man is made of steel.
-
I think Don Frye is probably the toughest man that I have ever seen or heard of. The closest thing to a modern day Gladiator that you can be. No matter what century Don Frye had been born, he was born to be in battle. A true battle hardened warrior.

Насколько уважительно относятся бойцы друг к другу, начиная с битвы взглядов, чувствуется сила, ни страха ни визгов, вот за что мы их уважаем.
-
I'm getting old enough to forget the results of these legendary fights. Memory loss is not all bad.
-
Shamrock will always have my respect. He was always game to have a fight with guys so much bigger than him and always fought the top of the heap, toughest guys, hardest nuts to crack. He didn't just have an easy career crushing cans. He had a career on hardmode like Sakuraba.
-
For those of us that have had the pleasure of witnessing the entire careers of the fighters that ushered in the sport of MMA, it's bittersweet to see these men that were seemingly invincible grow into elderly men. They put their lives on the line entertaining us all. For that, I feel they are certainly owed a debt of gratitude and respect 🙌 .
-
Ken was one of my customers and our kids went to school together so I got to know him pretty well. Really nice guy.
-
Neither fighter was the same after this. Mad respect for both.
