Don Frye on M-1: "You just ain’t got your [poo] together."

Don Frye speaks, and he does not dissapoint! Fightlinker has the story.

“I didn’t drop out; I walked away,” Frye recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “I didn’t want to talk to anybody about this, but I’ll talk to you fellas because you’re my amigos.

“This is business that should be conducted between me and Joost, or Roost, whatever his name is. But he got on the internet and did a Dana White/Perez Hilton internet blog and started talking shit.”

“Here’s the deal: [The event] didn’t just move from L.A.,” Frye said. “It went from the Staples Center to the L.A. Convention Center. From the L.A. convention center to the Hilton in Las Vegas. From the Hilton in Las Vegas to an Indian casino on the Oklahoma-Texas border. From the Indian casino on the Oklahoma-Texas border to an Indian casino up in Tulsa, which is North Oklahoma. And from there up to Kansas City, Mo.

“So you know, after four or five times changing the venue, and then we asked [Raimond] ‘Hey, what are you doing for advertising? Are you sending a photographer out to Don’s house?’ He says, ‘No, we’re just going to use stock photos off the Internet.’”

With a complete lack of faith in the promoter, Frye said he made the difficult decision to walk away.

“So they don’t know where the hell they’re going to have it,” Frye said. “They’re not putting any money into advertising. So at that point we said, ‘You know what? You just ain’t got your shit together. We’re walking away.’”

Frye said he would have been happy keeping quiet about the entire situation, but Raimond’s release forced him to speak.

“That’s something that’s between me and Joost, but he had to go and get on the fucking Internet and pull this bullshit, so then it opened it up to the whole fucking world,” Frye said. “That’s his fault, not mine.

“The position of douchebag fight promoter, who thinks he’s tough because he hangs out with fighters and insults fighters – that position’s already taken. We don’t need that, OK?”



I saw Don Frye eat a live iguana once. True story.

Don Frye is fantastic. I wish Dana and Don would kiss and make up. Don would be awesome behind the mic

Han Solo's not an American...

Is that the “No” option?

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Neither are the Transformers but Han Solo is a intergalactic man god and that goes beyond just being an American hero, he saved a whole galaxy. Of course the power of Don Frye’s mustache is unrankable on any scale of awesomeness, it’s glory is unmeasurable.

Who would win in a fight between Don Frye’s moustache, Chuck Norris, and Ditka?

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Fightlinker left out the best quote from the interview

Regarding his upcoming fight with Dave “Pee Wee” Herman:

“Geez, Louise, this guy’s 6-foot-4, 240 (pounds),” Frye said. “(He’s) 14-1. Who signed me up for this son-of-a-bitch? I may have to reach up and punch him in the kneecap.”

by Scott Haber on Aug 24, 2009 3:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I could see him talking on a Lesnar fight.

“Im going to have teach that Coors drinking son-of-a-bitch a lesson and show him how it feels to really have a Horseshoe up your ass. Try goin home and humpin your wife now Cock Chestner”

I can understand Frye being told of the location change and saying, "You know what, fuck it."

It’s not THAT much of a stretch to think that a near 15-year veteran of the sport sees bush league shit like that and decides to cut his losses.

Boom.

They are finally doing some advertising on a local sports radio station here in KC for the event but that’s all I’ve seen or heard about it. It would be a bit disappointing to go from a 20,000 seat arena in LA to a 2,000 seat concert hall in KC that still has fourth row seats available four days out from the event. I’d love to go but I’m not going to give my money to those crooks. Someone from BE should contact M-1 and score me some free tix.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.
