Don Frye debuted at UFC 8, competing in the UFC tournament. Fighting three times in one night, Frye incredibly spent only a combined 3 minutes 10 seconds in the Octagon across those matches.

Frye first destroyed Thomas Ramirez with punches in a then-record winning time of just eight seconds, before he also decimated Sam Adkins and Gary Goodridge to win the tournament.

Such was Frye’s dynamism, he became instantly popular with UFC crowds and was invited back at UFC 9 where he defeated Amaury Bitetti in a non-tournament encounter.

At UFC 10, Frye re-entered the tournament arena and reached the final where he lost to Mark Coleman. That was Frye’s first MMA loss.

Frye went one better later that year when he competed in the Ultimate Ultimate 1995 tournament in December, winning in the final in an exciting battle with heavy hitter, Tank Abbott.

Frye left the UFC following his win, departing the company with an incredible 10-1 record.
