This is why Erik is a master! He's my idol!

I still want to see Barnett vs Fedor in 2019.

@Not Applicable still want to see it.

Erik your the best

Nice interview!

great coach, true inspiration

Hype, hyped hype. Its Brock's signature gesture and Sensei Paulson makes a good point and has a ton of great things to say in this interview. I find inappropriate jokes funny too. No one is a saint.It's like "I'm not trying to prove anything to you, or submit to your claim, i am simply trying to relate to you." Erik is one of the great pioneers in present day sport driven mixed martial arts. Not to forget, he studied under Guro Dan inosanto, the most humble, compassionate little guy you'll ever meet. Instead of bashing people, try and find something useful in what they say. People talk like they know MMA, but don't understand the usefulness of an empty cup.

I meet Erik for the first time January 20th 2020 ! I will never forget that day! I was extremely nervous and probably even scared but yet very comfortable! Comfortable you might ask? Well I was there with my girlfriend sue and her sister. Whom is related to Erik. Long story short, I don't think I would have meet Erik on my own! Remarkable human being! I am so thankful I Got to have a few minutes with you! I definitely look up to you and hope to see you again soon! Thanks Erik for everything!!!

nice you meet some good people

Eric is a Bonafide Badass The cool thing about this man is that even though he is a modern day Samurai and All around warrior , and he looks the part , He is a soft spoken polite gentle man . In the Martial Arts and Combat sports world he has NO equal

This is what I'm talking about! Respect!

Awesome!!!

Matthew your interviewing style has gotten so much better then when we took that trip to vegas. Keep up the good work

This guy is awesome. I consider his views to be very important after watching this video.

One of the pioneers in MMA really amazing grappler.

My Idol

he was telling brock condition.. he is always respectful... and he wanted to stop brock from doing that.. he was not in favour of it...unlike those hypocrites who does not understand brocks condition on that fight...

I like this guy... i don't even know him but I look up to him already

Amazing martial artist!

I've been fighting amateur and professional for 10 years, and Erik Paulson is one of the guys I'd most like to have coaching me and in my corner, if I couldn't have the coach I do now.

@Super8astard I agree to some extent. If you ever have the chance go train at a CSW Erik Paulson gym. The one I went to in Jacksonville Fl, taught a lot of history and I guess what you can call fighters etiquette. He actually teaches MMA for fighting but he normally pushes in a lot of culture too.

@Hovey79 No, it's Erik.

I noticed that, too. Though, I do have to say, I kind of agree with what he said about lesnar. Still, though, there seemed to be a pretty significant contradiction there.

His name is Eric Paulson,His name is Eric Paulson,His name is Eric Paulson, His name is Eric Paulson.

Great interview. Nice to hear Erik talk about his background. And I mean, Erik is Brock's trainer, he's not his dad. He can't be held responsible for everything Brock does. + if there is anything I hate about american MMA-fans, it's the God damn booing going on all the damn time, THAT is disrespect. If you boo a guy, just because he beats up the fighter you had put money on, then you're an idiot who deserves a big, fat long finger in your face.

pay attention Connor

is josh banned from fighting in the US from steroids??? How many fighters you think juice??

this guy is big! he is 4times bigger than interviewer! how tall and heavy is him?

Love eric, but he completely contradicted himself in regards to the middle finger incident.

it kind of bothers me how he talks about bushido and how people should take responsibility but when lesnar is brought up he talks around it and justifies what he did.

@trepidation11 I'm sure he runs a tight gym. I actually like those types of gyms because of the atmosphere and there tends to be less egotistical douchebag types. only exception is the 10th planet gyms people are really cool there too.

And I agree that some of the things Brock said were kinda funny.

why should need to put his arm on brock's shoulder to stop him? didn't he teach brock respect? apparently not. just like how he taught Barnett to respect the rules

@BootyBot the comment i left for SuperBastard was actually for you

you guys are being very naive here if you actually buy any of these stories. Brock and Mir were trying to hype the fight by following UFC's script. in reality both these guys are pretty decent. but when they sell out and act out such poor manners it reflects negatively on the sport. Do you think someone like Couture or Fedor would sell out their sport and their integrity like this?

Josh Barnett just needs to stay in Pro Wrestling because thats the only place where he can use steroids and not bankrupt an organization.

Just don't curse in class when he's around, LOL

@bassreeves1965 I dont think he would lose or at least get knocked out. Fedor often finds himself at the mercy of grappling. Fedor tries so hard to just use his boxing mostly and sometimes kicks and will throw a guy down just try and hit hard and as much as he can. Erik has a great standing/striking game but he mostly uses grappling. He has a huge range of moves, assess the situation and makes plans. Both have a decent sense of timing and accuracy. Fedor will use strength more n Erik strategy mo

guess you are unaware barnett is banned from the ufc so he's being a double agent for a fight that will never happen unless brock leaves or zuffa sales the ufc. conspiracy theories are fun though aren't they.

lol a nice guy does not consistently act like an ass and then have to apologize for it. he behaves like a decent civilized human being to start with. brock might be the best fighter in the UFC, but isn't close to the best on the planet. that's TUF noob talk right there.

softest interviews ever dude. erik goes on and on about fighters not having manners or a bushido code and how its the coaches fault, then you just ask his thoughts of the brock situation and don't hammer him at all for his hypocrisy when its so wide open. only other interview i've seen of yours was the prison fighter fraud and you didn't ask any legit questions to him either. why are you doing interviews if you are afraid of the subjects and wont ask anything "confrontational"?

paulson is asking what are we passing down to the youth?? how about asking josh what he's passing down by doing so many roids.

wish the fight nerd had the balls to mention the obvious. but i guess he is a nerd after all.

what a hypocrite. first talks about codes of conduct in martial arts then later justifies the poor behavior of Brock.

lol true Erik is most notable for training a career steroid abuser known for his consistently crabby and insulting attitude, and a dude who epitomizezs everything Erik claimed is wrong with current fighters, basically a walking roid rage. it's all those other coaches faults for not instilling respect and bushido in their fighters! but brock can flip off the fans cause they boo him, and i was kinda laughin hehe, dont question it fight nerd cause you're scared.
