MMA Legend Don Frye Thinks Ronda Rousey Needs to Get Rid of Her Coach
Justin Golightly - September 22, 2017
This whole week, ever since Edmond Tarverdyan’s appearance on The MMA Hour, people have been talking about him still wanting that fight between Cris Cyborg and his prize student, Ronda Rousey. Cris Cyborg, her coach Jason Parillo, and even Miesha Tate have weighed-in, saying that they do not want to see Ronda Rousey yanked back into the MMA game for a fight with Cyborg. Now, it’s gotten the attention of MMA legend and salt of the Earth, Don Frye. He had some strong words for the coach, and hopes Rousey has nothing to do with him. “Is that that idiot [Edmond Tarverdyan] who tried teaching [Ronda Rousey] how to box but all she did was block punches with her face? That guy’s just out for the money. She needs to get rid of him and get rid of 90 percent of the hangers on and go back to Judo Gene Lebell and her mom and people who were there in the beginning who really care for her. Otherwise, stay the hell out of the sport because you’re just gonna’ get hurt. She has no business being in the ring with Cyborg. That’d be like feeding the Christians to the lion. It would just be criminal to let her in there with that gal.” – Don Frye speaking to Submission Radio.

Don Frye blasts Mark Hunt for steroid lawsuit: you know what you signed up for

In July of 2016, Mark Hunt was tasked with welcoming former UFC heavyweight champion and long time pro wrestling star Brock Lesnar back to the Octagon. Though many expected Hunt to level his returning foe, he was ultimately outwrestled for three, gruelling rounds, giving up a unanimous decision as a result. In the days after their fight, however, it was revealed that Lesnar had failed two drug tests, as he was flagged for the estrogen blocker clomiphene. Though this crime saw Lesnar receive a one year suspension and a $250,000 fine, and have his win overturned, this was not a severe enough punishment in Hunt’s eyes. So, after months of criticism of both Lesnar and the UFC, he has elected to take both parties to court.
