UFC veteran Don Frye returns after a four-month hiatus and appears in a video for UFC 175 edition and gave his "Predator's Predictions," including Weidman staying as a champion for a long time.

Frye started the video with this opening message: "In honor of Independence Day, I'd like to thank all the men and women in the U.S. military and their families ... not those dirtbagpoliticians. The men and women in the military do it all. Thank you and God bless you." 

According to Bleacher ReportUFC 175 is the annual Fourth of July weekend card of the company which is scheduled on July 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For his first pick, Frye predicted that Russel Doane will beat Marcus Brimage noting that the latter "looks like a crackhead ice skater in a hurricane." Bleacher report added that UFC 8 is also not impressed with Brimage's foot work.

With Uriah Hall and Thiago Santos's matchup, the UFC veteran said that he will go with underdog Santos whom he said will come out on top.

But Frye, when asked about the battle of Stefan Struve and Matt Mitrione, said that he would rather choose himself as a winner against UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez rather than pick between the two.

"Women's bantamweight title fight. You know how I feel about women fighting ... Ya' know, I'd rather jump a tall fence and catch my scrotum on a nail ... I think it would be more enjoyable," he added on the video.

Frye also seemed not to anticipate the fight between Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis in the co-main event of the night.

"Fa-Bieber" as Frye calls Urijah Faber is the clear winner of the match against Alex Caceres, predicted the UFC veteran.

For the main event, Frye chose Chris Weidman as the champion against Lyoto Machida saying that the former will stay a champion for a long time.

"Since dropping to middleweight, Machida's done an outstanding job, like a whole new fighter. But unfortunately, Weidman's the champion and he's going to stay champion for a long time," Frye explained in the video.

Frye, according to Pro MMA Now, is one of the most colorful and recognizable faces in the industry because of his mustache. The same report noted that he is now afraid of the camera and that he likes to talk of good stuff for news articles.
