Frye In Action! MMA Vet Invades Small Screen, Talks Of Injuries and Return By Loretta Hunt Dispelling reports that he might be "laid up" with debilitating injuries following a July 20th pro-wrestling event in Japan, Don "the Predator" Frye took New York City by storm this week to step in front of the movie cameras. The UFC and PRIDE veteran was onhand to film a scene for the upcoming HBO film Strip Search, which focuses on a man wrongly accused of being a part of a terrorist cell in the States. Rugged, all-American Frye was brought on as one of three FBI agents who nab their suspect off a bustling New York City street in broad daylight.
The fast-paced shoot was a learning experience for first-timer Frye, who got to work under directorial great Sidney Lumet (Night Fall On Manhattan, Dog Day Afternoon) as well as perennial stunt coordinator Douglas Crosby, also MMA enthusiast and respected UFC judge. The physically demanding scenario was tense for Frye at first, especially when Lumet told him he could not use a double-leg to takedown the lead actor, but Crosby was there to coach the seasoned wrestler through it all. No release date has been set for the film, which stars Glenn Close and Dean Winters of OZ fame. In the meantime, 36-year-old Frye says he is concentrating on mending his body, which has seen close to ten years of experience in both mixed martial arts and professional wrestling. Persisting injuries in his neck, particularly three collapsing vertebrae weakened by a neighboring set of vertebra previously fused together, are causing Rye the most difficulties, he says. Flying around the set though, one could hardly notice his ailments, and the Predator is optimistic as to when he might make a return to fighting. "Probably six months," he predicted, "because last time I pushed it [following his decision win over Ken Shamrock at PRIDE 19]. I was back in three months and I think that was too much. Right now, I’m just waiting for the surgeon to call me back and set up a date to operate." With one fight left on his PRIDE contract that will need to be fulfilled within ten months, Frye has set his sights on a formidable opponent. "I’d like to fight Cro Cop [Mirko Filipovic]. I think he’s the best one out there. He’s the man." Gunning for top talent like Russian Filipovic, is their any thought to making this fight the "big finale" to his already respectable 15-3 career? "I don’t know," the usually outgoing fighter remarked shyly for once. "It depends on how I feel once they fix my neck. If they turn me into Superman again, I’ll come back." Frye began his famed MMA career back at UFC 8 in 1996, where he knocked out Thomas Ramirez in a mere ten seconds before going on to take the tournament win that night. He returned to UFCs 9 and 10, as well as it’s Ultimate Ultimate ’96 tournament, earning key wins over competitors like Amaury Bitetti, Gary Goodridge and Tank Abbott, while establishing himself as the epitome of toughness in the biz. He began wrestling professionally in Japan in 1997, gathering a fan following that eventually led him to his debut at PRIDE 16 and three subsequent wins. A rough patch followed, however, with losses in both PRIDE and K-1. Frye’s latest PRIDE appearance was a rematch loss to fellow trailblazer Mark Coleman, who bested the Arizona native in the final round of UFC 10 seven years prior. Frye is hoping to rebound from this disappointing loss he hesitated to comment on, but says he takes a bit of solace in knowing that he is simply not physically 100% at this time. For now, with his body going in for repairs, the Predator says he is fine with his mouth doing his talking — he’s scheduled to appear as a commentator for Frank Shamrock’s inaugural MMA event, ShootBox, on August 23rd in Orlando, Florida.
