Don Frye

In 2002 former UFC tournament winner Don Frye was still making waves in the MMA world, having amassed a 15-1 record and with his prior fight being a TKO victory over Yoshihiro Takayama that would prove to be the ‘Fight Of The Year.’

Next up Frye agreed to what would be his one and only kickboxing bout against a legend of the sport in Jerome Le Banner at PRIDE Shockwave.

Frye started the fight aggressively, but it was soon Le Banner who took a firm grip of the reigns when he wobbled him with a right hook and then followed up with a head kick and powerful left hand, which forced a standing count from the referee.

Le Banner smelled blood in the water now and started to quick hunt down his prey, leading to him cornering Frye and then blasting him with another huge straight left followed by a right hook that left ‘The Predator’ eating more big shots as he slowly sunk unconscious to the canvas.

Unfortunately for Frye this fight would signal the start of a slump in his career as he’d go winless in his next five MMA fights and never again reached the heights he had previously.
