A few weeks back, everyone was talking about Ronda Rousey’s chances against men. Lots of fighters weighed in on the topic, and Rousey herself said she ‘could’ beat anyone as she’s not the type to put limits on herself. UFC pioneer Don Frye was a guest at Submission Radio, and when asked about the topic, he didn’t mince words.

“Oh my god, this is so fucking stupid. Why is she bitching about — who’s the woman fighter that she keeps complaining about? …Cyborg. Fight Cyborg.”

“Tell her to shut the hell up,” Frye exclaimed. “I don’t want to hear you say you can fight a man until you fight Cyborg. And don’t insist that she gets drug tested for anything, and don’t insist that she makes weight. Shut the hell up and fight the woman and like a real fighter does. Don’t worry about rules and this and that.”

Frye is always a colorful character, and on the clip above, he also gives his unique take on topics such as ‘supporting his fellow white man’ in Jose Aldo, and selling his house to get a front row ticket for a potential CM Punk vs. Green Ranger bout.
