    Don Frye is a legendary MMA pioneer, well-known for his exciting fights beginning at UFC 8. Under the tutelage of Dan Severn, Don Frye enrolled in UFC 8 in 1996, knocking out Thomas Ramirez, finishing Sam Adkins, and submitting Gary Goodridge to win the UFC 8 tournament. Don Frye then returned at UFC 9 to TKO Amaury Bitetti and UFC 10 where he TKO'd Mark Hall, and finished Brian Johnston, but unfortunately lost to Mark Coleman in the finals to lose the UFC 10 tournament. After submitting Mark Hall in UFC Japan, Don Frye returned at UFC Ultimate Ultimate 96 to finish Gary Goodridge, submitted Mark Hall and submitted Tank Abbnot to win the Ultimate Ultimate 96 tournament. Don Frye continued his win streak until 2002, defeating Eric Valdez, Gilbert Yvel, Cyril Abidi, Ken Shamrock and ultimately defeating Yoshihiro Takayama at Backstage Pride in what is considered the manliest fight ever. This was the high point of Don's career, but he continued fighting until 2011. Don's contributions to early MMA as a 2-time UFC tournament champion earned him a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame.
