Don Frye 

UFC Champion Don "The Predator" Frye, 5 weeks into his retirement , doesn't know if he wants to stay that way or as he puts it, they won't let me retire. He has an injury he has to get over but that shouldn't be a problem. He also tells us that he was unable to train his guy (Sam Sotello) as much as he would of wanted to and that contributed to his loss at KOTC. Not making any excuses but understanding that he needed to be injury free for him. We Hope your shoulder heels, get well wishes from T.F.G.tv
