Allright Matt,long time fan of your podcasts and love the background shots of the beautiful countryside of our green and pleasant land! like you (and alot of fight fans) Don Frye is one of my favourite fighters because 1.he took on anyone,he ducked no-one 2.he was (and still is)as hard as nails 3.he's a real man's man 4.and a great charachter with great homour 5.his wrestling skill as well as his punching power and fighting know how 6.his humbleness and humility (as shown when he visited the japanese fighter in hospital and after winning his fights he raised his opponants hand = a true LEGEND! great to see you looking well matt and i'm also going on a water based fasting diet,going for a good walk in the local park and also doin sit-ups...have to do this at my own pace (being 61 years old and using a walking stick) just sti k with it and hopefully that belly fat i've got will be long gawn and it DEFINITELY ain't comin back...i was stuck indoors not feelin too good but i just give meself a bit of a talkin to "come on old sahn i won't lose that belly sittin indoors doin f**kall,git ur arris out doors and excercise and walk and you'll feel much better!" loved your podcast with the great Ricky Grover talkin about "bill the bomb" and "charlie bronson"...keep up the excellent content and stay well geezer take care all the best,love and peace to you out there cheers mate,see ya.
@@piersgrowcott8179Get out there and kick some ass bro!
Dan - "When did you grow your moustache ?"
Don - "I was born with it"
😂😂😂
If testosterone had a voice, it would sound like Don Frye...
Those of you who haven't, have a listen to his UFC induction speech. What a legend.
♥️🇿🇦
Don is a fuckin legend.
Absolutely
Don Frye is a legend indeed.
He is for sure, I always found Dan Severn to be the darkest of the fighters of that era.
Don Frye a real all American Hero & old school super bad ass.
100% 🥊💥
Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama will always be the most sensational fight... ever.
Definitely agree, one of the best fights in any sport either, and the respect they had for eachother was absolutely commendable 👊👌💯.
Wow 😳 didn't know Takahashi ended up paralyzed, that was so sad to see, and Frye breaking the rods in his back and walking round in agony for two and a half years, crazy but don't surprise me. Whatta legend, and one of my favourites as well Matt. 👊👌💯.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh Yes, quite sad but both will forever be warriors still none the less..
@@pauliedibbs9028 deffo in my humble opinion 👊👌💯.
Punched the living suitcase out of ea other!!
Pity Takayama wound up like that... the visit to the hospital was pretty touching.
Don Frye the type of oldschool mush who you would think drank motor oil instead of ale, proper western alpha that we need right NOW
Ha ha ha,lol 😎, great description. 😊.
That bit with Takayama was emotional. Great video 👍
Yeah to see him slugging it out in that old fight then switched to laying on the hospital bed its a reminder to us all to cherish what we have.
Brilliant!
In a world full of paper gangsters, Don Frye is the REAL DEAL! 💪🤜🤛
Proper tough.
I'm gonna enjoy this, Don Fry was hero to me when I was younger.
Yeah me too bro, absolute banger 👊💯👌.
my favorite
Over the moon you covered Don, one of the all time greats, and in my opinion, fought in the toughest era of UFC.
And apart from being one of the toughest in MMA history, up there with the likes of Mark Hunt for sheer toughness, but, he is one hell of a character, the type you'd love to have a beer with 👍🏻
And totally agree with your recommendation for people to watch his podcast 👍🏻
Absolute legend is the Don. That man is an example to me of the epitome of a warrior man. Much respect to him and every other fighter in this clip.
Well said Peter. 🥊👍
Another brilliant documentary carry on like this and youl be as famous as Carl Frochs channel .So sad about Takayama that made me cry these guys are true Gladiators
Thank you mate. Yes that was such a shame.
Lovely of Don to show respect 🥊👊
Sadly I didn't get to witness Don's fighting career at the time, and I suppose, like many, we're enjoying it via great videos like this. What a fighter he was, and a character he is; very genuine. With his ego fee, down-to-earth ways, he reminds me of another legend, Kurt Russell and even bears a passing resemblance to him at 12:08.
When this man says Haku is 1 man hed not want to mess with - i listen 😂💪💪 legend this guy 💪💪
Never heard of DF before but the guy had cojones. The start of the UFC era was mad. Great video as always
Thank you. It was great to witness the start of UFC .
Old school, no rules 🥊👍
One of the best yet for me Matt. True hard men.. I mean really hard men, but with class. Reminds me a little of Tex Cobb.. Win lose or draw they remain dignified with a sense of humour. Todays fight scene could do with a few more of these role models.
Good call. Both Cowboys, hard as nails, and funny as anything .
Great role models for sure 👊🥊👍
Definitely a legend. He looks what he is, a hard bastard!
That photo of Fry and Takayama in his hospital bed is honestly priceless. That is the true definition of respect.
Love Don Frye!
Since first seeing him on VHS at UFC8, yes I'm old 😎
I'm glad you did a video of Don Frye. He is a legend and a real tough man with honor. So inspiring.
Totally. He's a true man 👊🥊
Nice tribute to Don, truly one of the fantastic UFC originals back in the day. Speed, power and skills and the heart of a grizzly. Great days Matt, hope you and your family are good, your looking healthy mate. 🥊🥊👌
The fact he started MMA at 30 too
An amazing man. We need more like him 🥊👊
It wasn’t MMA it was actually fighting with no rules but eye gouging he was a former pro boxer and wrestler ,it’s not like he woke up and started training at 30 he’s a wrestling coach from Arizona with boxing background,30 was very young , Marco Ruas was 37 when he entered the UFC and probably had a lot more wear and tear on him that’s why he didn’t last long after UFC 7 he lost in Pride and retired a few years afterwards .
@@UncleTermitei never said he had no fighting experience
Absolutely one of the best men in the world love his fights and asuch a true man's man
Spot on 🥊👊👍
Yesss, Matty!
Big Bad Don Frye! No way! I remember my Mrs sayin he looked like Magnum lol.
It was all about Royce Gracie back then, wasn't it.
Some of them guys could properly rock a tash.
Great tribute, my mate.
Thanks once again! Pete 🏴
(oh yeah, Patrick Smith too . . he was baaaad)
Respect for you and the Predator!! These tough men will never be forgotten! 👊 God bless you all!! Fight hard and live well. Thank you!!
When he drank from the water from the horse barrel and swallowed it, was classic Don.
🤣🤣 I had to put that in, that is classic, 🤣🥊👊
Don one tough old school man’s man. Back in the day we all had atleast 1 guy in the family like Don. I had my grandfather, father and most of my neighbours were guys like Don. Great times
This was brilliant to watch, such a great channel 💯🙌🏼
Great up load don frye is a mma legend
Thank you Mark 🥊👍
In boxing thru the years now and again a unique fighter comes along like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Don is one of them unique fighters.
Brilliant! You definitely did Don justice with this video, a throwback and super tough guy as you say. The toughness he showed in that Shamrock fight was pretty incredible. Loving the work, Matt 👍
Matt he was fearless and tough as they come awesome
100% 👍🥊
Much respect!! True legend of UFC and MMA!
🥊👍
PS, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND FOR GOING SEEING HIS OLD RIVAL WHEN HE WAS AT HIS LOWEST ? NOW THATS WHAT I CALL RESPECT ! 🙏👊🥊
What a beautiful moment. I love him for that 🥊💪❤️
I loved those early UFC fights and Don Frye was one of the best. This was a very nice video capping Don’s fighting career 🎉
The best era for UFC for sure.
Thank you 👍🥊
This man was the reason i started watching UFC he was absolutely awesome, and same Matt, i watched from the start, i remember quite a few of these, wow getting pumped just watching this, thanks for that mate 👍, loving it 👊🥊👌💯.
Brilliant, it was amazing to see it at the beginning.
Thank you 👊🥊
Great footage matt thank-you for another great podcast from you
Thank you for watching 🥊👊
Walking around for 2 years with a broken back and 2 rods that snapped. Thats some pain barrier he's a beast of a man one hard mother trucker.
Unbelievable pain threshold 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 yeah you know chap. I see the name when you posted it and at first I thought thought it was a pedophile hunters because of his name don the predator. Then I see him and I can remember watching the fight with him and tank Abbott and he nearly got done but brought it back. I think the fighters back then were just naturally tougher then alot of today's fighters. Back then some of them would be having 15 to 20 fights a year. The UFC tournaments back in the day would fight 3 to 5 times in 1 night. Nothing like how it is today.
Thanks Matt,
True legend Don Frye, what a baddass!
Can you imagine going to pick up your date and he came to the door..😮
Glad you're doing ok Pal.
Keeping it real, all the best , John.
I enjoyed that Mr legg it twas a classic cheers mate 🥊👍
Keep up the good videos matt mate 👊🥊
Love early days of UFC. Don was a tough dude for sure 👊🏻💥
Hey Matt. I'm going through alot right now. Worst period of my life, but your channel helps lift my spirits.
I hope everything is ok Edward. I'm sorry to hear that
What's been happening?
I'm grateful for your support of the channel 👍🥊💪
Hey Matt. Going through a divorce and my 2 sons are being kept away from me. I live in America and its crazy here. I haven't had any contact with them since January, not even a phone call, breaking my heart.
My favourite so far. Keep em coming dude.
Thank you for another American Legend Mr.Legg. Our Country is in need of such examples. A great combination of masculinity with heart. Two sides of the same coin
LEGEND.
Absolute legend, hockey fight x10 ,he seems like a lovely guy also 👏
Don Frye is a real man’s man, and what a fighter too. When he fought he was always all in.
The fight with Takayama is still legendary to this day. It’s tragic what happened to Takayama San.was awesome to see that Keji Muto took Frye to visit him in the video - Muto was a badass wrestler too aka The Geeat Muta.
Another awesome video Matt. Thank you so much for doing them. I always look forward to them.
Cheers Matt that was awesome ❤❤❤
Some kids pee their name in the snow. Don Frye can pee his name into concrete.
🤣💪🥊
When you look up ‘tough guy’ in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Don Frye. And a smaller one of you Matt haha. Great video watching while making me butties for tomorrow. Thanks Matt
🤣🤣I'm happy with that, lol
Don had an
Unbelievable pain threshold 👊🥊
One of the OG mma legends .one tough man.
🥊💥👊
Love don absolute legend
Great video Matt enjoyed it, hope you're well mate,I'm doing good retired 2 weeks ago, got out early enjoying life,take care Matt.
he's a total Legend. Thanks Matt
I think Don's one of the few people who when ya meet them hes earned a salute rather than a handshake
Apparently, when Don Fry was Bourne, the doctor looked at his mum and said congratulations it’s a man 😂
Don Fry v Yoshihoro is a WAR🤩
Great subject choice again Mat 👌🏻
🤣🤣🥊👊
What a fight 👍

(That’s ⬆️about the first 10 seconds 😂)
That was great Matt, one of your best videos yet, got some Cherokee in my bloodline from my fathers side so me and Don share a tiny bit of history, he is an enigma as he does not look huge or aggressive but will kick your arse all day long. You are looking good and healthy, keep it up but remember, the occasional treat is good for the mind and that is just as important. Take care my friend...
Ah really! I've always been interested in Native American history.
And the Old West etc.
Yeah Don was the man , lol
Thank you , yes I'm allowing myself a few treats here and there 🥊👍
Respect, Matt.👊
Don Frye. #legend
Peace and love. 🙏
Very informative. thanks Matt. Good to hear you are feeling well.
Thank you Ted.
I hope you're well 🥊👊
Matt your videos get better and better always watched when I see a new one on TH-cam but for quite a while now the bell has been clicked and as soon as I get the notification I’m on it , keep up the good work Matt look forward to the next one
That means a lot Luke.
Thank you very much 👊🥊👍
Such a brilliant job of telling "The Tale Of The Predator" Matt! My Dad was a USAF Col. and Pilot and reminds me of Mr. Frye! Tough as nails, disciplinarian but fair. You always knew where you stood! Myself and my older brother boxed on a Military Traveling Team and my older brother always identified with the toughness of Mr. Frye! So when I saw this popped up, I immediately smiled and thought Spot On Matt....I'm going to send this to my brother Jay and make his day! Mr. Frye really is a National Treasure all around The MMA Community, but also a colorful and respectful character in his own shoes! We are the lucky ones to have seen him in Combat! Cheers From Across The Pond In Ohio Mate 👋
Every time I hear Don's voice my bench goes up five pounds
🤣👍🥊💪
The true gentleman 👊
Old school for sure 👍🥊💥
Great video, really enjoyed it. Thanks for making it 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 👊👍🥊
Great video matt ,keep em coming .jock McAvoy would be a great video
Thank you Richey
I'll add him to the list 🥊👊
Another great video. Well done Matt. Any chance you could do one on Mark Hunt?
Proper man's man big up Matt💯
Another great video 👍 shamrock vs Frye is ultimate show of heart from 2 warriors! Both men were never the same after that fight so much respect 👊
Absolute warrior
👊🥊
Great video mate. Love Don Frye and Dan Severn. Real men. Glad your feeling good bro

Thank you mate. I hope you're well 👊🥊

Don frye what a beast in the cage and a really nice guy cheers matt
Nice one Jason.. thank you 🥊👊
Me & my friends always used 2 call Don Frye Magnum after Tom Selleck's character. Awesome fighter. It is men like him that make me embarrassed 2 call myself a man.
Nice 1 matt Dom is defo a legend ✌🏼💯
Without a doubt 👍🥊
Wow Matt, what an awesome video m8, got so much respect for guys like Don m8, genuinely don't know how Don & the Japanese guy both kept standing 10/10.
Great vid matt. That voice has been described as the voice of America. Lol
Great video, and thanks for no
annoying midroll ads, I let opening
and closing ads run.
Proper story thanks matt
Cheers Keith 👊👍🥊
I was Powerlifting out in Vegas, met him at the Olympia expo.
He gave me two fat burner capsules, I squatted 332.5kg and was awake for two days. Funny guy, said he hates bodybuilders 😄 #legend
Matt love your channel man you put great work into it
Don the predator frye is a machine nothing but total respect for that guy
Apparently he went to fight a fire once but the fire backed down
Looked a right hand full excellent video matt

Love this video, very well put together, really captures the nostalgic feel of the early UFC days. I remember going to a friends house and him putting these on the VHS, then choking me out in the garden. Those were the days !!. Thanks Matt
One of your best videos Matt, thank you.
Back when the UFC was for proper gladiator's.
I remember watching it on a chipped tv cable box
Nice one Matt really good 👍🏻
Fantastic video about a legend, we need more patriots

Hiya Matt 1st of all hope you & your loved ones are well and send you mine and gods blessings! Also prayers for Kevin Lane (I know he's a true warrior & laughs things off but we all appreciate love and support inside as we ain't always as strong as we think or show! Loved this upload Mr Legg...Don Frye was/is an all time fighter of the ring/cage! Thanks Matt & yeah Don truly is a 'gentle(violent) man' And a true DON of the G variety the name fits (and has you will know with your inspirational career "if the cap fits,wear it") let's not forget Takayama that lovely scene you put in had me welling up 😢 "DESERVED" you are the perfect English gentleman and only man who is fit to tell this tale with the respect,love and warrior spirit it warranted! Be lucky Matt👍🏼
