Very true, Liam. Many people don't know that Erik trained with the Gracies when they were still teaching out of a garage. He's done BJJ ever since, it's just that for his sport he's preferred no-gi. Erik has held his own and even tapped many a bjj black belt.
I agree with LEMon. Erik really doesn't see the boundaries that exist in the various styles of grappling. He just wrestles/rolls.
TTT to Eric Paulson
Erik's fight vs Hume shouldn't have been stopped for that cut, it wasn't that bad.
Hume/Paulson rematch in Pride Bushido would be great!
A Hume Rematch would be amazing, and him being ex Shooto Champion would sell it to a japanese audience
I agree that Ken made the right decision by training with some different guys out side of the Lion's Den.
Wasn't Paulson the character "Stello" in Bloodsport III?
"he fought MMA a bit. He didnt do too well. I think he excels as a coach but maybe isnt as sweet as an athlete..."
LOL@KKM. Talk about new to the sport. You do know that there are more events than the UFC & Pride and that the Gracies are no longer dominating to any degree?
"Wasn't Paulson the character "Stello" in Bloodsport III?"
Yes he was, wearing the blue gi top and red wrestling shoes.
