New York, March 21, 2008 – Today YAMMA Pit Fighting (YPF), a new mixed martial arts (MMA) organization created by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) founder Bob Meyrowitz, announced that “Masters Superfight†participant Don “The Predator†Frye has withdrawn from the organization’s debut due to surgery on his shoulder. Frye injured his shoulder while training for the YAMMA Pit Fighting April 11 pay-per-view event, in which he was scheduled to face MMA legend Oleg “The Russian Bear†Taktarov. Frye will still attend the fight and will provide commentary. http://fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=21337
I know Don, and if he says it is his shoulder, it's legit. Say what you want about him, but the man is no liar.
Dont think anyone is saying he is a liar.... If he's sitting on a bum shoulder he'll definintely wanna be 100% for MMA's network TV debut
Funny how quickly that shoulder will heal if they offer him the Kimbo fight. I don't think Frye has much left in the tank, but he's still a good test for Kimbo at this stage of his career. People seem to be in a rush to push Kimbo into fighting the top heavies, but he's only had 2 sanctioned fights. If you want a good measuring stick for how shot Frye is, he got KO'd by James Thompson last year, the same James Thompson who is 2-6 in his last 8, and who lost to Butterbean, and Frye has only won 4 of his last 11, and his last somewhat meaningful win was against Shamrock back in 2002, in a fight many thought he lost, and in which it was rumored that Frye was so doped up on painkillers during the fight, that's the only reason he didn't submit to Shamrock's ankle locks. I think Kimbo would beat Frye pretty handily. TFK
