Erik Paulson Breaks Down Barnett’s Win Over Rogers; Expects Silva In Final

Being close to a elite MMA gym is always a good thing. When you are headquartered down the street from one make things a bit easier for a site such as ours. Combat Submission Wrestling is headed by former Shooto champion and MMA pioneer Erik Paulson. Last week we caught up with the human encyclopedia of leg locks and by chance it happened to be his birthday.

So Happy belated birthday to you Mr. Paulson if your reading this. We chopped it up with Paulson as he broke down Josh Barnett’s win over Brett Rogers, what Barnett needs to do in order to beat Sergei Kharitonov in the semi finals of the Strikeforce Grand Prix and reveals that he believes Big Foot Silva has a great chance making it to the final of the tournament.
