I question this a bit if you look over his last 10 fights theres about a 50% loss' Athough despite his compitition being very strong he has managed to stand up and throw w/ all of them. So i would say Nahh hes still up for it.
What do you think about this?

I like Frye but personally i think he's getting a little too old for the fight game now days. He's one of my favorite fighters of all time but I think he should just give it up professionally and go fight bareknuckle. hell, I'd love to see him take on Kimbo Slice lol

I think he should probably cut back on the fighting and concentrate on his IFL team. All things considered, he did very well against JT, and I think hes still got a few more left in him. I think he'd do better in the unified ruleset, as I'm sure the ten minute Pride rounds kill a guy his age.

HAHAHA! I imagine he'd be a real hard-ass to train with, but I'm sure you'd end up being ten times tougher than when you started as well.

He isnt what he used to be, but he is like Randy Couture; the fans will always love to see him fight, and he has built up a reputation now that cannot be diminished by future losses.
That said, I think he should call it in soon, and focus on making $$$ as a coach.

Soon, but I think hes got a few more in him. For a guy his age, hes in extremely good shape, and punching power is the last thing to go with a fighter. I think he could have another handful of matches if he stopped fighting upper tier guys. Him against Zulu could be a good one, or he could be a competitive fight against Pavel Nashula, as they both have judo backgrounds, although obviously Pavel is the more decorated of the two. If he picks his opponents well, he could definitely go out on a high note.
As for the JT fight, I don't think he has anything to feel bad about with that. He took it to him and made an entertaining fight.

Fighting-wise he's no Couture. He should stick to coaching and writing funny columns.

Fry is an old man now, he aint got what it takes to be championship status but fights against thompson and other big heavyweights will be a good payday for him.

i don't think he can hang with most guys in pride or the ufc. he should keep to the ifl and maybe have some fights with them.

I like "freak" matches too, although if they're adopting UFC rules, I bet they'll have to either trim the bigger guys off their payroll or open the Super Heavyweight division like they were talking about.

I agree with the Super heavyweight. As for the Predator, come on guys..he's getting old and yeah he might be off alittle, but i bet he could give all the top guys of today a helluva of a good fight 10 years ago.

Was Frye EVER up to par? He's always been a bit of a MMA novelty.
