Hearted Youtube comments on Sport Legends (@SportLegends) channel.

  1. Don Frye has a voice of a old gun slinger in a western movie probably some of the most devastating clinch strikes I have ever seen still love the way he would sometimes just absorb punishment just to lay someone out

  2. Glad that the judo master schooled grappling Royce into submission. By this time people were saying Royce was unbeatable, well Mr Yoshida proved otherwise…thank you for a great collection of these great legends and interesting motivational programming, as a combat sport buff for nearly 60 years I just had to subscribed to your channel.

  3. Tank may not have had a great UFC record. But he's still got a couple of fights that appear on every MMA/UFC highlight reel.

  4. Don Frye vs Yoshihiru Takayama has got to go down as the greatest stand up fight in old school MMA. The predator became a hero to many after that fight.

  5. They don't make them like don Frye anymore......

  6. Royce getting choked by a gi is so ironic and satisfying 😂

  7. Gracie always trying to set the rules on his favour. 😂
    149
  8. That sad to see that Yoshihiro Takayama is paralyzed. He was an absolute stud. Good on Don Frye and other for going to visit their for opponent / friend.
    144
  9. Grace is always trying to arrenge the rules to their advantage.
    135
  10. I actually think Pancrase rules provide far better entertainment than UFC
    124
  11. Thank you for putting the respect on this mans name he deserves. Not many modern day fans I know who got into MMA over the last 10 years know of Yoshida San. And as Bas Rutten put it. He was so great because he was 'wearing a gi'. OG pride fans should get that one ❤️👊

  12. Don was not only an exceptional athlete and competitor but an excellent ambassador to the sport
    117
  13. As a judo black belt i'm happy to see than he proove to the World the efficacity of old school judo 💪💪💪
    113
  14. I love old school fighters that started UFC at a early time! Frye, Abbott, Coleman, Shamrock, Rutten, and many others! 🤘💯

  15. Man for this Judoka to face some absolute killers and even beat some of them... truly impressive.
    89
  16. Don is a gentleman. Takayama later became paralyzed from the waist down in an accident and Don visited him in Japan. Don told him when he was recovering in hospital from an injury he thought of their fight because it made him feel alive. The video of that meeting in the hospital showed the mutual respect between two warriors in a literal sense.
    85
  17. Don Frye was one helluva fighter.
    79
  18. The best version of Tyson was from ‘86-‘88
    70
  19. Don had 20 Back Surgeries. I’ve had 2 Spinal Surgeries and let me tell you I couldn’t imagine having 20. After one of his back surgeries he left the hospital then collapsed in the hospital parking lot from having a stroke which resulted in the doctors putting him into a coma. Glad he is alive and doing ok after all that.

  20. A true legend!
    47
  21. They had a fight that will outlive them both; every fighter should be so lucky as to have such a defining fight; they’re legend; pride never dies
    42
  22. This if proof that Judo alone can win against MMA. Coming from the best Judoka of the time who was trained in old school Judo. Not today’s Judo. Also that fight shows that the Gracie’s are sore losers.
    41
  23. Yoshida's judo was strong but Wanderlei's roids were stronger
    40
  24. When Dad (Judo) schools the cocky kid (BJJ) thinking they’re doing something new 😂
    40
  25. Bas can turn his hand to anything he wants complete legend!!
    38
  26. Judo master underrated
    36
  27. The monster was unmatched in my opinion. Is a shame he passed away. He was the fighter that got me in MMA. Rest in peace, the monster.
    36
  28. Tank was a good fighter but Tank didn't have much in the gas tank as far as stamina goes. Don Frye had this fight before it even begun and Tank got luck with a good shot and that was the only reason it lasted as long as it did. Don Frye was a beast in his prime.
    34
  29. Igor great kickboxer! 💯✨
    33
  30. Seeing Frye in tears while visiting Yoshihiro in hospital made me tear up.
    32
  31. Don’s wife left him, but Takayama supported him after he was put into a coma. Then, when Takayama became paralyzed, Don went to visit. Combing this, with their fight. You couldn’t write a better movie.
    29
  32. It's really impressive that Don kept fighting after literally dying to Takayama's knees. It takes really heart to keep going after you're dead.
    28
  33. He fought a lot of legends. Old school beast !
    27
  34. Great video👊
    26
  35. I don't know much about MMA or kicking but 20 years of boxing has left me to know i would rather get a shot in the nuts or nose than one to the liver. Worst feeling on Earth. LOVE EL GUAPO, Uncle Bas though. Pancrase is still the only combat besides boxing i ever fell in love with. Great vid. Lovable yet scary dude
    26
  36. In an interview Frye said that when Abbott fell it was because he stepped on Abbott's foot while at the same time headbutting him. In the replay you can see his head making contact.
    25
  37. That was a beautiful tribute to both warriors !
    25
  38. Grappling only, no strikes allowed immediately tries to stomp his knee backwards
    23
  39. Dude handed out comas
    22
  40. If you put a lot of pressure on a diamond, it'll eventually turn into Don Frye's face.
    22
  41. Love it when you said in the first fight with Shamrock that he caught the kick and then took his opponent down, c'mon man he ate every bit of that kick
    22
  42. That Spinning Leg Kick At The Beginning Was Brutal.
    21
  43. Ooh yeahhh! best regards from Ukraine!🥊

  44. Gracie jujitsu came from old school judo old school judo had a bunch of groundwork in it. It was pretty much submission grappling with throws. Judo came from a few different styles of old-school Japanese jujitsu. Fun fact, judo and jujitsu were used interchangeably in Japan a long time ago.

  45. Sakuraba is a legend, though I have no first hand experience with him. With Royce Gracie, I do have one on one experience. I took lessons way back before there was a UFC and the man who was on the mat with me was Royce Gracie. I'd signed up with Rorion Gracie who was the kindest, nicest man. His manners were impeccable. Royce, was all business on the mat. He never smiled. By that time, my nose had been broken 4 or 5 times, then Royce added at least 3 more breaks to my total nose breaks. Regardless, I learned Gracie Jiu-jitsu techniques quickly, I had to or I would have died on those mats in Torrance, California. Not really, Rorion would've saved me, I was a paying customer!😅 After that, I never lost another fight. Not in military combat, nor in the streets. It's not like I was some big dude either. I'm built like the Gracie clan, tall and slim. I have a ton of respect for the Gracie Clan. They have taken their system a long way and it's given them a good life, but it's been hard d@mn work, believe me. I know, I was there. Oh, and no, I was never some black belt in Gracie Jiu-jitsu. In fact, I was only ever a white belt. The only reason I ever got more than a white belt in Judo was that I kept beating guys in tournaments that were brown belts. So, they had my Sensei *award * me a *black belt *. I didn't deserve it at all and sure enough, within a year, I began getting my buttv kicked. It wasn't the fault of any Gracie techniques, it was my fault. My wife and I were having issues, etc. I quit after my divorce and went on to become an internet engineer. I'm retired now. Married, happily to my second wife and living peacefully on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I like to shoot guns, at targets and try to abate a decade long migraine. Good luck folks!😅 And many thanks to Rorion, Rickson, and especially, Royce Gracie. I had a H3LLUVA great time with them all!

  46. Don The "Predator" Frye and Dan "The Beast" Severn .... My favorites fighters!
    21
  47. Really impressed with Don but exchanging blows with Tank almost cost him the match. Tank must replay this fight in his mind as he was so damn close to getting a belt.
    20
  48. Damn, that's why I love Japanese arts, he just went on a chocking spree.The Gracies had fight in them, but advanced judo is too much for BJJ.

  49. Don was amazing a true beast !
