Some people would argue whether Don Frye is an actor or a fighter, but for the most part he’s a fighter first and an actor second. His been in a couple of movies where he had small parts, but before that he was fighting pretty successfully in the MMA and before that he was a professional boxer.
He also wrestled in college. There isn’t much that Frye can’t do, and he seems to like acting, but it looks as though his first love will always be fighting. For people who aspire to follow in Frye’s footsteps where MMA is concerned there are schools like MMA Richmond where they can start working on that type of career. It’s not an easy road and a person has to train hard to be in good physical condition.
The strikes and grappling that are so much a part of the MMA take practice, too, but people who have a lot of discipline and the desire to win can make something of themselves in the MMA if they are really dedicated to what they do
Adler Volmar is a two-time Olympian, and he’s now making his MMA debut. He says he was thinking about getting involved in the sport even before he participated in his second Olympics because it’s such well-rounded sport. Since he has a strong background in Judo he will have an advantage in that area and only needs to train in other areas of MMA.
