I saw don frye in Phoenix a few years back. We both were running in each others direction and as we were approaching each other we made eye contact and let me tell you that his stare is absolutely intimidating. Not 1 word just a stare! He looked like he would eat me alive and that's the day I became a man. I I instantly grew hair and my voice deeper
Don fry and Dan Severn both were warriors. Tank was a brawler but didn't have the ground skill the others had. Don frye is a damn beast! He's last of a dying breed, no bs in that guy
@dustinjohnson3463L If you say Dan Severn you never followed his career or watched his fights. Dozens of fake and fixed figbts. Watch his ridiculous “ fugvts “. With Shannon rich. For instance. Shit. Just watch his fights and how ridiculous some are. Dan Severn in mount spinning for knee bars or any of the ham and eggers reversing roles. Don’t punch. Go for uncoordinated 80s or wrestling exchanges. Like Sean malenko. A Greg valentine.
@@joeblack7660 frye is not being fair. tank got worsham in the 1st round but he would have had to fight ken shamrock in the 2nd round if ken would not have broken his hand in his 1st fight. tank got lucky but so did don because kimo (not a brazilian) was injured also in his 1st round win. i think watching the video of frye vs. mark hall it's pretty clear the fight was fixed.
Frye has the craziest death stare. Especially in the ring when they announced him he would half turn and stare across the octagon with a smirk. Scary dude man
Look man I was 30 years old.. I loved to compete in contact sports in my late teens and 20s but earning very little money I had a very blessed career as a commercial fisherman..in it's own way a life of a very few people..I saw that ultimate ultimate 96. For the first time I can say first hand that was when men were men and women were women and new the Frazee ride or die the generation that grew up in the 80. Well let me say..THE LAST OF THE V EIGHTS..Really hate to say it but you're never going to sea men like that again. I was there thank you God
I saw an interview once where Severn said, "the Marlboro man is a man's man, but he carries a picture of Don Frye in his shirt pocket everywhere he goes." Can anyone find that interview???? Love these legends ..
Of the ufc deaths, that one stung the most, not just because we share the same birthday, but the great demeanour, then the fall from grace where he was apparently asking for help & then came the realisation that once you're past your prime you're worth more to these organisations dead than alive. Really really sad.
@tonij9089 I still watch his fights sometimes, my son is almost old enough to start martial arts classes, I can't wait to show him the Bonnar vs Griffin fight, plus Soszynski 2. Plus the fact he named his kid Griffin after Forrest gets mad respect for the impact they had on the sport with that 15 minutes of excellence
Over 100 fights is pretty insane. I still love the fact that he was the NWA World Heavyweight champ when he won his UFC titles. Absolute fucking legend.
I met dan and ken shamrock at a wrestling event in Australia a few years ago thay both wrestled and spent over an hour with the fan after the show doing selfies and signing autographs actually got a few minutes with ken and just talked about wrestling highlight of my life
I feel blessed to have been around for the birth of ufc. To watch these legends fight live in real time was amazing. The tournaments were so exciting. I wish they could do one night tournaments agian. Its been a fun ride to watch the fighters and the sport evolve over the years.
I know Coleman beat Don convincingly in their fight but the story Coleman just told just adds to the Predator's legacy. He and The Hammer were MEN among men 🔥
Not enough love on this page for Dan Severn guys... the beast was a monster. Also, he turned up to right a wrong. Always thought Abbott was a bully, not surprised to hear it's true.
He claims he ran three marathons. I call BS on that. We've all seen him gasp for air in his later fights sometimes within one minute. I like Tank though post surgery. He seems to have humbled a bit.
5:48 I know Don Frye always has that gruff voice, but something about the way he's talking in this specific interview just reminds me of Sling Blade. "I aim to kill Tank with it. Mmmhmm"
Tank was paid to come to a dealership here in Las Vegas for a meet and greet that I worked for. His request was to have 2 cases of beer and as he signed autographs he sat there getting a buzz on and enjoyed his day talking to fans. It was a month before his fight against Cabbage. Tank was a great guy to shoot the shit with..Awesome guy.. Then in addition at another dealership I had the honor to meet Baz Ruten ,And a couple other fighters that I could t remember but Baz was a nice guy and very humble.
@@paleo704 No I was a GSM at a Kia dealer here in town .Towbin sells a lot of cars but far from the top dealer in the country. Findlay Toyota sells more then Towbin Dodge and Longo Toyota in Cali sells more then both of them lol
The first time I saw the original UFC 1, I was 30 years old and remember thinking I didn't know humans could be so savage and so tough. Back in those days they could head butt. These guys were some of the baddest guys on the planet, the scary thing is some of these guys looked like an average joe on the street until the cage door closed and their inner beast came out.
Don Fry was supposed to fight Kimo who had to pull out because of the brutal fight before over 10 minutes long. By the way both Tank & Fry said Haku was a legit tuff guy. Fry even said he was freightning & a scary human being.

We both were running towards each other in each others direction and as we were approaching each other we made eye contact and let me tell you that his stare is absolutely intimidating.

Hes got some piercing eyes no shit...and the physique he brought in his prime. Not a muscled up brute but a fast powerful lean machine. Dude was put together from birth to be a warrior.
Tank was a fighter who barely trained, would drink heavily before a fight and typically gassed out after 90 seconds. Yet I'm supposed to believe Pat's "story" that Tank ran 3 blocks to the hotel to get away from him? That's the most highly unlikely shit ever. Even if it did happen that way, the fact Pat got outran by Tank Fuckin Abbott's hilarious.
There are nothing but stories saying Tank would never turn down a fight. Then you have the man saying he loved to hit people and get hit. He loved to fight.
Man how i wish to go back in time in the early 90s and mid 90s to see Abbott, Frye, Coleman, Severn, Gracies, and the Shamrocks, to see them all fight again man those were some of the bloodiest and gruesome fights you would ever see.
Hey my friend the good thing about TH-cam is you can look up all of those fights you mentioned and watch any time and show others who haven't seen them.
Rounds for these legends were really whole fights with unlimited time until one got k.o or tapped, savagery and braveness tested. TRUE LEGENDARY WARRIORS!!
I met Colman at the UFC in new orleans in 98 or 99. the one that Frank Shamrock ko'd igor with a slam. talk to Coleman for a few minutes. very nice guy. i asked him about Don Frye and he said thats a tough SOB.
dan severn is the classiest guy in mma by a longshot! the kind of guy you would want as a neighbor. you can't say that about many other mma fighters! he speaks with clarity and intelligence!
Yeah Dan is the kind of guy who would let you borrow a tool and then when you try and return it he'd tell you to keep it as he already bought a replacement.
Dan Severn seems like such a kind cuddly uncle at a church bake sale! Unbelievable! I remember him as even more frightening than Don Frye back in the day. He was stone cold, imposing, menacing. But I remember admiring him for never fighting dirty, which would’ve benefited him more on many occasions. So now I know that inside he’s such a cuddly quirky uncle.
All those guys are entertaining as hell. I also love how blitzed Coleman is during his interview. Bet he would be fun to party with. Till he put you through a wall by accident lol.
I was at a restaurant in Huntington Beach that Dan Severn was at (years ago), dude was just large. Head, hands, bones, just a big tough looking dude, I combined that with my knowledge of his history and he was one scary sob.
Tank is still my favorite fighter I used to own a skateshop from early 90's to 2016 in Bakersfield ca and I would play UFC videos bet friends on fights it was a punk rock type shop next to a venue that had punk bands every weekend best time of my life
So you're telling me that Tank outran Pat? And not just smoked his ass but to the point where when Pat got to the hotel, he couldn't find him. Hard to believe.
@The Pict haha I know. So Pat said he congratulated Tsnk on the victory and Tank pushed his face away..?! Then they were about to fight and Tank ran away?! Huh ? I bet Tanks version is closer to the truth
That's the LAST laugh you'd want to hear after your name is mentioned in history, I'd have packed up,got rid of any existence of me and left the country yesterday if I was Abbott lol
Man mark coleman was a mythical creature when i was a teenager. Saw dude justlay down the craziest ground and pound and realized i never wanted to fight lol.
Lets just give it up for these guys. They are the ones that made many of us start loving the sport and ufc in particular. They are the pioneers. God bless them
When Don Frye looked into the camera I felt compelled to sit up straighter...

Don Frye is one of the most real men that ever stepped into the octagon or the ring. That guy doesn’t have a phony bone in his body. True warrior.
Dan Severn
Well….. thee 6:00 minute point of this video proves he does have a phony bone in his body. He fight with Mark Hall was fake. I was there……

I would have an instant heart attack. By all accounts a very nice guy, but not one to be crossed
Don Frye is the most American person ever. Also a legend.
Yeah, feel bad for him but it´s a kind of mental disease that can´t be treated.
Don Frye boy we need like a few thousand of him right now... We could clean this country up with more Predators..
Absolutely great comment!!!
AMEN!!!!
Always one of my favorites! But damn! He sounds a little punch drunk here!! Time sure is ruthless on fighters!!!
Don Fry is the kind of guy to knock out half the bar, then tell the other half to calm down
More like the only man to make them pass out from fear just telling them to calm down. 😂
Lol hahaha
and buy everybody a round of beers afterwards 🥊🍻

Frye is the man. That man is incapable of being politically correct and I love it!
Boy was he drunk tho! Haha
@@romper4444 I was guessing pain pills. Either way, he deserved all the drugs and booze he wants after all those fights lol.

Lmao dude same he wound up that f bomb before he dropped it 😂😂
Rip Stephen Bonner he was so kind
Don Frye literally should have been in the first predator movie. Absolutely hilarious. Legend!
Lol yea, he would have totally fit in with Dutch's Crew.
He was
Stick to watching reboots
Don Frye should be Duncan/Man-at-Arms in a new Masters of the Universe Movie
Alien predator screaming "Contaaact!!!" and runs away.
Don Frye..A True American Badass. Respect to all these fighters from back in the day! They made the octagon what it is! Legends
That little laugh when he found out tankless abbot was living in Arizona gave me shivers. Even at his age now I wouldn’t want Don Fry mad at me..lol.
sometimes you eat the bear......and sometimes the bear eats you.
That's Dan Severn the 🐻
That's Dan Severn brother
That chuckle from Don when he learns tank is his neighbor was unsettling af lol
Totally agree
Why did that chuckle sound like a guy who might have been thinking... "I think I'll pay him a visit... one night... with a shotgun"?
@@billywashere6965 , but Don doesn’t need a shotgun, so...
Right huhuhuh lolol
Haha was hilarious

Yes, especially since he is happy that Tank was actually alive after almost having died. Ironic.

Really really sad.
Yeah, Bonnar is a legend.
Don't seem like it's been over a year since he passed

Met Frye at the La expo a few year back, stone hands, iron grip and a voice made of gravel.
Someone fucking with that dude even to this day would likely be making a grave mistake. Fearless guy there
@@brianconner4854 you are not wrong. You meet certain people along life’s path that just make you realize, “Oh, he’d kill me with his bare hands.”
Gotta love Dan Severn, the dude still has his mind and body together after all the fights he’s been through.
Over 100 fights is pretty insane. I still love the fact that he was the NWA World Heavyweight champ when he won his UFC titles. Absolute fucking legend.
Yep. I was thinking the same. He seems in good shape
his wrestling kept him relatively safe
I met dan and ken shamrock at a wrestling event in Australia a few years ago thay both wrestled and spent over an hour with the fan after the show doing selfies and signing autographs actually got a few minutes with ken and just talked about wrestling highlight of my life
I think being natural helped.
I’d love to sit down and drink a few beers with Frye. He’s a good dude and a patriot!
Firefighter too
I don't drink, BUT, if I had a chance to drink with Don Frye I'd have to party.

That look into the camera from Don Frye was terrifying comedic gold!
1:30 Coleman is like that rowdy, warm-hearted uncle fisherman who tells you his war stories while having a drink inside of a lighthouse. 😄🍻
Lol!
Stephan Bonnar in a turtle neck carrying an oil lamp also looks like he could be a lighthouse attendant.
Except he's doing rails of oxi in the bathroom
Inside a lighthouse?! 😂😂😂
Then smashes the lighthouse down in anger when the beer runs out….
The Hammer saying "we gotta edit those out cause my mom don't like cussing...." Freaking awesome!
I need to find a set of pipes that’ll make my Harley sound like Don Frye.
He'd definitely put a stock M8 to shame for sure.
just let your bike drink whiskey and smoke lucky strikes
Put cigars in your gas tank.

Love the Predator, but what you are talking about is the chronic brain trauma.
Killed me. 🤣🍻
In the basement, in front of the water meter is the best place to go during an interview.

That's the LAST laugh you'd want to hear after your name is mentioned in history, I'd have packed up,got rid of any existence of me and left the country yesterday if I was Abbott lol
What a great backdrop for the Dan Severn interview
I remember seeing Belfort just steam roll through tank. I don’t think tank ever got passed a 2 fight win streak.
Vitor ran him down with ease. Yeah, check Tank's record. I THINK he finished his career under .500.
Back in the early days he would smoke cigarettes and drink beer between fights in the octagon.
Appreciate these videos bro. I am from HB
Heartbreaking to see Bonnar there talking about tank surviving and stuff...
Hannibal outstanding video, in my opinion
Don Frye is my favorite of all-time. What an American badass.
When Don Frye mentioned "Glass-Jaw Joe," he was referring to Steve Nelmark. "Tank" folded that guy like a lawn chair. 😂
Mark Coleman is such a sweetheart. Kinda makes me sad how slurred his speech is, clearly some permanent damage done. Fucking legendary.
That was before Mark got sober. He has been sober for a year now.
Man mark coleman was a mythical creature when i was a teenager. Saw dude justlay down the craziest ground and pound and realized i never wanted to fight lol.
Lets just give it up for these guys. They are the ones that made many of us start loving the sport and ufc in particular. They are the pioneers. God bless them
Dan Seven is a real life Ned Flanders
Yes, if Ned could tear your arms off.
Lol!!
Don Frye, "a fart would knock him out, his jaw was so weak". Hahaha, yes.
Don frye, i need a new neighborhood. Priceless
Almost every comment is about Don Frye... lol I don't know if he's more famous for his fights, or his voice
this was the best time in mma proper characters not like today
Love seeing these guys so many yrs later
