A part of me always knew I would end up at the UFC one day, carrying on my father’s legacy. If you couldn’t tell by the last name, my father is Don Frye, “The Predator,” known for his patriotic flag shorts and slugfest with Yoshihiro Takayama in PRIDE. He helped pioneer the sport, and now I’m hoping to play my part in it’s continued growth.
As a social media intern for the UFC, I see the dedication of the fighters as they train and and heal firsthand. During a photo shoot at the UFC Performance Institute, I passed Francis Ngannou’s towering form as he pounded out miles on the treadmill, and glimpsed Henry Cejudo receiving a massage in the adjacent rehab facility.
