Don Frye Commentating Quotes

20. To Rutten: "I know you love me, dontcha sweetheart?"

19. On Danillo Villefort: "How old is that boy?"

18. When Kruck mistakenly called Frye "Bas": "No, I'm Don. Bas is the ugly guy with no hair." 

17. On Johnny Rees Rees and Paul Bradley both wearing red trunks: "I'll take the white guy in the red shorts."

16. On the staredown between Rees and Bradley: "Like a couple of tribal Vikings out there. Blond hair, blue eyes ..."

15. To Kruck and Rutten at the end of the night: "Great to be here with you ladies."

14. On referee Kerry Hatley stepping in front of the camera angle: "Get Kerry's ass out of the way and we can see the fight." 

13. On the difficulty of finding an MMA fight in France: "I didn't know France was ever in a fight. ... I heard Italy just declared war on Spain, and France surrendered."

12. On Alexander after he survived a barrage from Sokoudjou in Round 1: "He's still a little wobbly on his feet, ya know? Either that or he's got good rhythm." 

11. On Bradley: "He's built like a brick s**thouse, ain't he?"

10. On something we're still trying to figure out: "Skin like a mule's ass." 

9. On Brock Larson's unanimous decision loss and Frye's continued theory he may have been ill: "I'd like to hear if something was wrong with him tomorrow (instead of right after the fight). You don't want the Tito Ortiz list of excuses here. No one respects that." 

8. On a promo spot for a charity for U.S. troops on the ninth anniversary of 9/11: "Get out your wallets, ya cheap bastards, and give 'em some money." 

7. After the fights, while straight man/babysitter Kruck was still on his way back to the broadcast table from a post-fight interview with Trevor Prangley: "That was like two hours of rough, hard sex. I need a cigarette and a tequila now."

6. On Keith Jardine's stance: "He's so awkward. He's like a rabid octopus. He looks like he's about to fall over at any time." Fortunately, Kruck didn't point out to him that an octopus, as a cold-blooded animal, cannot get rabies.


5. Obviously no stranger to viral video sensation "Double Rainbow Guy," during a particularly memorable exchange with Rutten:
 "Double rainbow! Triple rainbow! Double secret probation! ... No, no, no, it's gonna go into triple double overtime!" Kruck saved the day by reminding the viewers, and Frye, "There is no overtime in Shark Fights."

4. During a discussion with Rutten over their records:
 "I started counting fights when I'd come home drunk and knock my old lady around," to which Kruck, ever the straight-man, quickly covered for him by saying, "I bet she's got a few wins over you, too." 

3. On his background as a wrestler: "Look at me: I'm a wrestler. My balls are so big, I wear the excess on my hat." 

2. On cauliflower ear: "This guy's tough. His ears are like potatoes. Looks like he got stuck in the birth canal, had to beat him out with a stick."

1. On the preliminary card fights: "That was like prison sex: hard, sweaty, violent and there was a lot of noise."

haha, pure gold!~

it’s funny too because i was thinking of doing the same thing for a fanpost..

all of them are funny.. i think #4 should be in contention for #1, but how could i not agree with the #1 quote?.. #1 stands and i would put #4 at #2… both hilarious!

all don fryes comments were so random too.. the guy cracks me up..

Shark fight's continued success hinges on the ability to lock down the team of Bas, Kruck, and Frye...

That was some funny shit. +2 for Don.

We need a petition for HDnet to replace that idiot Kenny with Don......

or to replace Mezger with Don……….yes a fucking Schiavello-Frye booth…….that what i want, i am kinda of getting tired of Mezger’s “I just don’t get it” and “This is how they do it in japan.”

Schiavello-Frye booth is a good one.

Schiavello is always funny, his Minnowaman commentary during the K1 Dynamites was hilarious. One of the many funny things he said was along the lines of, never has a pair of red speedos been worn was such style since the days of Nikoli Volkof. Now if you are an old WWF fan, you would know why I thought that cracked me up. Frye is not giving a shit about what he says as well, ads to his humour. His fuk you Al Quieda or Osama, cant remember which, in that Pride special, with a fighters giving their thoughts and opinions was hilarious.

i remember an episode of inside mma with Frye and King Mo on the panel...

they were supposed to fight at some point – before Mo’ won his last 3 or so.

Thats was good hype. I seem to remember Frye saying something like…

“Please Mo, your going to find out; you fighting me is like a palestinian tossing rocks at an israeli tank”

Mo had his to. I just remember that one.

Don Frye – great guy to have around while watching fights, but not the guy you want to give a mic to while representing your organization.

It's funny especially when you consider

how he got knocked the fuck out by a Frenchman in 2002. I think some of you will know what fight I’m talking about. For the others, watch him get pulverized here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARNFSLJ_vlo

At the end of the fight he had no idea where he was and what he was doing on a ring.

is there just universal hate for the french?

And are their any french that post on these boards? What say you?

Not only does BJ Penn quit on his stool versus guys that are bigger than him...He gets tooled by guys that are SMALLER than him. BJ should just stick to jumping out of pools, not fighting. I shoulda listened to Ulf.

French woman are naked more than any other

according to MANswers…

agreed tho, its almost natural to hate the French. lol

I'm french-canadian so I don't count.

I don’t even know how many people visit this site. As far as I can see, I’m the only frenchie among Mania regulars (Algha Dog also is but I don’t see him often ). Mania is excellent for me as I can improve my writing skills while having fun and learning about my favorite sport. Outside of GSP threads, I tend to not get too caught up in verbal battles.

As far as the hate for the french, in all it’s forms, I believe I have been exposed to it long enough to have learned to deal with it. I did live in Toronto for two years… lol I’ve heard it all already and then some. It’s alright though, French and English have been rivals for the past 500 years. Some cultural bitterness is bound to remain. That’s how I see it today, a reflex that’s ingrained in you people to turn everything french into a pussie/fag joke. It is being done 2.5 million times a day, everyday.

Koscheck promises to deliver is fair share of frenchie jokes in this upcoming TUF 12. I don’t even know how GSP should handle that. How would Koscheck react if GSP called him the n-word? Would that make people laugh? You be the judge.

technically hes only half an N-word

so hed probably just get mildly irritated…right?

it is different tho. a more fair throw back would be calling KOS a Yankee.

Yeah we've never really gotten on with the French

I make jokes about the French but I wouldn’t automatically hate anyone or consider them as pussies because of their nationality, I’ve met some cool French people partying as well who were a good laugh. And they gave us David Guetta so I can’t complain at all about the French, well apart from their joke of a national football team (they’re even making us look good at this point) and Cheick Kongo (and that guy who quit on TUF 11).

YAN

I don’t know about these guys, but I don’t equate French to you Quebecois. When I laugh at French jokes I’m laughing at France. THEY are the pussies. Quebecers aren’t the people I’m joking/laughing at.

Quebec’s citizens are just Canadian to me.

the french in them is only like the 8th thing that’s wrong with them.

Bas and Frye easily the most hilarious commentating team I've seen in a long time

The commentary alone was worth the PPV.

yep it was worth the "ppv"

and by that i mean worth my time watching a free illegal stream

BJ Penn is the biggest waste of talent in MMA history. Like usual, my pick was wrong and I blame a certain pudgy Hawaiin for my own short comings when it comes to talent selection. As it stands BZ – 3 Freenow82 – 1.

they wanted 39.99 from me for this

Glad I didn’t buy it, I caught it all from you tube clips after the fact. I would have considered it more if it had been in the $20 range.

"He's like a rabid octopus"

that cracked me up for some reason, mainly i think because i can kinda see it in Jardine but had never crossed my mind to call it that

i dont give out free signatures

gold and rogan make an amazing team.

Couture as an addition would be great.

no room for Frye although he is hilarious and awesome.

I think they should bring back "Dear Don"

Did you guys ever see that IFL segment called “Dear Don” where Frye does something like an video version of Dear Abbey. It was freakin hilarious. They’d ask him about their personal problems and he would totally dis them with his macho answers. I can’t remember the specific questions/answers, but it would go something like this.

Viewer: Dear Don, my wife is always complaining that I don’t spend enough time with her and that I watch too much sports…Am I being insensitive to her needs?

Don: Who cares! Dump her! What’s the problem? They don’t have prostitutes in your town?
