    Hahaha, Minowa vs Frye is just hilarious.

    I don’t understand how anyone finds intresse in that fight.
    I mean how many can possible want to see Minowa or Don Frye anymore…

    And Minowas whole angle of fighting bigger fighters isn’t funny anymore. When he gets beat fighting fighters his own size maybe he should think before fighting fighters two weightclasses over him.

    Elitexc should have signed Frye and had him fight Kimbo.. Theres a fight that could do ratings on CBS.

    I would much rather see Ikuhisa Minowa and Don Frye fight at DREAM.5. Those are two of my favorite fighters…

    Is this coming off of that FEG/DEEP press conference they had after DREAM.4?

  3. Jeremy (not that Jeremy) says:

    The IFL is dead! Long live DEEP?

    I think he’s doing it in an attempt to even out his record. One win against a guy twice your size actually counts as two wins, which cancel out two losses against guys the same size. The math makes sense if you suspend logic. Wow I’m bored.
