Tony Fryklund is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in Bellator's Lightweight division. He has competed in the UFC, WEC, Bellator, Strikeforce, Cage Rage, and TKO Major League MMA.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Fryklund was adopted when he was three months old. He began boxing and kickboxing when he was 13 years old, and would often get into fights because he was defending victims of bullying. Fryklund attended Winchester High School and also began karate in his late teens, eventually earning a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Shotokan. He later attended Northeastern University and was also in the United States Coast Guard for two years, but did not finish his education as he was focused on his job, which was working as a safety manager for a construction company.
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 British Cage Rage promotion as Fryklund fell to an unconventional reverse elbow.
