About Frank Trigg

Frank Trigg is an American retired mixed martial artist, color commentator, pro wrestler, MMA referee and TV host. Trigg is a veteran of the UFC, Pride Fighting Championships, BAMMA, and the World Fighting Alliance, where he was the promotion's only Welterweight champion. He has professional wrestling appearances in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It was while training with Burris that Trigg earned his first black belt and was introduced to the world of Mixed Martial Arts. While Trigg initially controlled the bout, Sakurai staged a comeback and brutally knocked Trigg out in the second round due to knees, handing Trigg his first career loss. After a tactical grappling match-up early on, Trigg fell victim to a rear naked choke in the first round. After not securing another fight in the UFC, Trigg participated in Rumble on the Rock's 2006 welterweight tournament, winning his first round fight against Ronald Jhun.
