No one forgot about him, its just most of us that watched these guys are old and Frye stayed a lot longer in the sport. Plus his mustache is magnum pi levels of dope. Tank is still a legend, he just wasn't as good of a fighter because despite being a national junior college champion wrestler he had shit cardio and never wrestled, he would have won more if he had bettet cardio and kept up his wrestling. Frye was simply the better fighter, has more memorable fights, lasted longer with his pride run after the UFC. Doesnt mean tank isn't a legend as well, Frye was just the better fighter and has more accolades, plus his mustache

The sketchy stances and even hyper jitters aren't them being less trained, the same a me teams trained the next generation and the next and the next, how would they not have the same based ass pedigree of skills? They did. Literally. However, with less rules, come more to be defensive of, and thus the idea was just knock them out or submit very fast, because there is notime to waste an elbow while grounded 12 and 6 was legal, knee kicks legal, standing Muay Thai elbow lead in strikes are good, and any uniform ya like, so you where comfy as could be fighting. That's a LOT of variables today's pampered class never had to deal with.

Early UFC fights were definitely a special time. I’m glad I lived it and seen it all back when it was new. It made for some great times with friends and great memories. And for any younger fans who don’t know , Tank was “that guy “ lol He was never in great cardio shape , he never studied film , “ I like to go into it blind “ he once said. Back in his day he was the LAST guy you wanted to get tough with at the bar I’m sure lol. And of course everyone knows Don was “that guy” …. Super bad in many ways. Very well rounded , and as tough as there is or ever will be.

Most bar fights dudes don’t even know how to throw a punch, and if you get punched in your face I’m willing to bet you piss yourself, run or cry, but you’ll stop running your mouth real quick. There’s a few who are drunk and try to fight back or swing on you but when you slam someone on their face, head,back or they get punched all your plans go out the window if you have no training or you have all bark and bite. Some of the funniest crap happens to loud mouth crap talking idiots. These two dudes would smash through any bar. Try fighting even amateur. It takes a lot more than beer to do that and calling it a bar fight is an idiotic thing.
