Don Frye Volunteers To Fight Fedor
MMA legend Don Frye will return to action on Aug. 28 to face Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal at M-1 Global's first major U.S. show in Los Angeles.
But he'd happily step in to face Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction "Trilogy"... if promoter Tom Atencio will let him.
"If Tom was smart, he'd have me fighting Fedor instead of whoever he's hiring on a one week notice," Frye told MMAInsider. "My phone works if he wants a real fight with someone who sell a fight in four days, somebody who will beat that bald-headed commie too."
In fact, Frye said the only reason he was fighting Lawal was to get an eventual shot at Emelianenko.
"He ain't seen anything I have to offer," continued Frye. "He built his whole reputation (as a) waffle house chef. They've been serving him up ham and eggs with a side of canned tomatoes. I'll bring it. And if he can bring it, you'll have the best fight you've ever seen on the planet."Labels: Affliction, Don Frye, Fedor Emelianenko

I swear if they put Frye against Fedor I will never watch another Affliction event ever again. In that case they deserve to go under.
& why not Tank abbott? lmao
Frye has balls of steel and in his prime a p4p badass. And damn I love that fucking dude. But he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
you gotta love Frye. he is funny as hell and still a great fighter. i still think there's a shred of merit in a fedor-frye match. ah, maybe it's just that i like frye so much.
Don Frye swears he's hard but what happened when Tank Abbott fucked ur ass up???Y did u choose 2 choke Abbott when he slipped?? I thought u were'nt scared 2 throw hands with any1 lol
TOM! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
anyone that wants to see this happen needs to give up watching MMA and buy a John Cena shirt. Calling Fedor a commie is a good strategy..... if you were a fighter that still had something to offer.King Moe in the first 2 minutes in late August!
I don't want to see Fedror fight another has been or someone old as dirt. I was so looking forward to see him finaly fight the #2 ranked fighter in the world and show he deserves to be called #1. This could be the last Affliction we will see.
How is josh barrnett #2 heavy,had to fight in japan because they don't dope test there,he was caught once already in the usa,striped of his win
over couture! now a second time
before his biggest fight to date.IMO
Barnett didn't pose much treat to Fedor anyway.Only pride guys to come back to america and show anything is
Henderson & rampage!Oh yea of course FEDOR!
WAR FRYE!!!! Balliest guy in MMA, and he can still fight. If he, and only he were to atcually convice them (I know how unlikley it is but still) to fight Fedor, I will put aside my promise not to, and buy Trilogy.
I agree that Frye is past his prime and not at the top of his game but I'd rather see Fedor/Frye than Fedor/Vitor.
I mean come on, I'm a BIG Vitor fan but coming from 185 to fight Fedor...geeze come on!! Vitor wouldn't go to 205 to fight Mousasi but he'll climb in with Fedor. Let's get real..Fedor/Matt Lindland....Fedor/Vitor...what's next Fedor/BJ Penn...LOL!!
You heard it here first folks. Fedor vs Mike Tyson. Michael Jackson is doing the main fight concert and Billy Mays is the ring announcer. Totally official. The dood that told me about Kimo said so.
I agree Fedor vitor is ridiculous. Fedor will take him to the mat and Couture him to death. I do understand the alure of being the guy to beat Fedor, but why are guys always anxious to leave the weight class they have the best chance to be great at?(BJ Penn) I just hope when this circus is over the UFC or Fedors team can get past the legalities and come to terms. You are only #1 PFP if you beat guys that are still relevent!To bad Kimbo couldn't do it, that would be less ridiculous than a 200 year old Don Frye! Fedor\Monson kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
why not tank abbott ???????? LMAO why not kimbo LMAO !!!!! hahahahaha . . why not fedor v.s. the indianapolis colts hahaha thats fare . . . . .
You gotta love Frye's "charisma" but he sure doesn't have a clue. He has been dogging all the top heavyweights in the world of recent and then he goes and loses to guys that are scrubs. Hey, at least he's got a great mustache.
I admire Don Frye's spirit but does he really think he can beat Fedor come on the guy couldnt even finish Ken Shamrock for God's sake lol
Fedor vs Monson. I'll PPV that. Belfort is great but undersized...just another fight that will make Fedor look like a hero. I'll save my $ if Vitor get's the nod.
