Be it the world of boxing, wrestling, or MMA, the Paul Brothers have caused storms with their uncanny actions and bold personalities. Two of the most polarising figures in the world of combat sports, both Jake Paul and Logan Paul have fans and critics in equal proportions.

However, that has not stopped them from making big moves lately. Jake Paul just defeated UFC star Nate Diaz in a boxing fight. Logan Paul, on the other hand, is gearing up for his boxing fight against Dillon Danis.

Recently, a UFC Hall of Famer spoke about both Jake and Logan. However, the MMA veteran did not have very nice things to say about the controversial siblings.

UFC Legend Don Frye takes a dig at Logan Paul and Jake Paul

Recently, UFC legend Don Frye appeared in an interview with the ever-entertaining Nina Daniele. In their conversation, Daniele asked Frye about his opinions on YouTube Boxers. At first, Frye looked clueless about this new term he had heard! “Youtube boxers? Who is that?”

After understanding what it meant, Frye quickly turned the conversation towards the Paul Brothers. Without hesitating much, he took some bold shots at the brothers. “Those two idiot brothers? Up in Ohio or something? They haven’t called me up,” he said.

Watching this video, fans had some interesting reactions. Here are some of them.

  • “Old Strickland”
  • “don the real deal right there”

It seems like the 57-year-old still has a solid fan base of his own!

  • “Don Frye is everything I love about America”.
  • “The real American”
  • “That man needs to run for president”

While some fans wanted to see Paul vs Frye, others did not like this idea.

  • “They can’t handle that Don smoke”
  • “@jakepaul got you a new opponent my guy! Lake Laul the idiot child Vs Don Frye the toughest ever lived.”

Quite a lot of the newer combat sports fan base might not be aware of Frye’s iconic fighting career. The 57-year-old was one of the most important figures in the early days of the UFC and has a career to boast his prominence.

Some unknown facts about Don Frye’s UFC career

Frye fought in the UFC when the MMA promotion was in its budding stages. Back in 1996, UFC was nothing like it is today. Interestingly, Frye fought thrice on the same night, in his UFC debut at UFC 8. The UFC Hall of Famer fought 7 times in his first three UFC PPVs.
