Mixed martial arts career [edit]
Early career [edit]
Fryklund made his professional MMA debut in 1997, fighting twice at UFC 14. During the first five years of his career, he built up a record of 8 wins and 1 loss.
Starting in 2003, Fryklund fought a who's who of MMA fighters including David Loiseau, Brian Ebersole, Eugene Jackson, Matt Lindland, Ivan Salaverry, and Anderson Silva. His loss to Silva was one of the highlight reel KOs from the Cage Rage promotion as Fryklund fell to unconventional reverse elbow.
Strikeforce [edit]
In 2006, Fryklund joined the Strikeforce promotion. He lost both fights there against Duane Ludwig in December 2006 and against Cung Le in June 2007.
Bellator Fighting Championships [edit]
Fryklund returned to fighting after a nearly 6 year hiatus as he faced Patrick Cenoble at Bellator 94 on March 28, 2013. The bout was ruled a draw after Cenoble was deducted one point in round two.
