A UFC Hall of Famer recently sounded off on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing bout, which took place last November and marked Netflix's first foray into live combat sports. The YouTuber-turned-boxer earned a unanimous decision win over the former heavyweight boxing champion and didn't allow Tyson to gain any momentum.
'The Problem Child' was heavily criticized for fighting a boxing legend 31 years his senior, especially considering the potential health risks associated with the bout.
In addition, there were plenty of accusations on social media regarding the legitimacy of the bout, in which some fans claimed it was fixed due to Tyson's hesitancy throughout. As a result, Paul's Most Valuable Promotions released a statement dismissing the allegations.
Among those who were critical was UFC Hall of Famer Don Frye, who blasted the bout for being fraudulent and a negative viewing experience.

While speaking to MMA pioneer Gary Goodridge's YouTube channel, Frye mentioned that he wasn't pleased with the quality of the bout and went on to watch other past bouts as a way to make up for what he had witnessed:
"That made me want to vomit. I was so disgusted with that. I had to go home and put in Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Jake Lamotta, Rocky Marciano. [I] had to watch some real fighters. If I didn't do that, I'd never watch another boxing match again. That was a fraud."

UFC Hall of Famer Don Frye discloses best discipline for a street fight
In addition to sharing his thoughts on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, UFC Hall of Famer Don Frye also disclosed which discipline he believes would be best for a street fight.
During the aforementioned conversation, Frye mentioned that MMA could be best suited for a street fight because it combines elements from every martial art and can be applied to different situations:
"Mixed Martial Arts [is the best for a street fight]. That's what it is, it's a combination of everything. Wrestling, judo and Muay Thai, I think are the best single arts there are. But you have to combine them and once you combine them, you have MMA...Conditioning is vitally important."
