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
