Allen Frye
AJ
USA
Not competitive in UFC debut
Frye lost to Guilherme Pat via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Frye was handed a UFC contract despite the fact he had all of six professional fights under his belt entering the evening, all on the Carolina regional scene. He faced a fellow newcomer in Pat and showed next to nothing. His "offense" consisted of trying to pin Pat along the fence. The fact Frye was swept on the scorecards despite generating 7:55 worth of control time tells you all you need to know. The UFC almost never cuts a fighter after just one appearance, but Frye could be a potential exception following this performance.
