Erik Paulson, Chad Stahelski, and Bruce Wilkerson behind the scenes at WCC in 1995. Erik had his hair pulled repeatedly in both fights and it ultimately cost him the second fight against James Warring. This is a nice glimpse of the early days of MMA, behind the scenes.

  • did sensei paulson keep his hair long for a movie?

    and the broken cup!!!!

    thanks for the post

  • @kenseisato1989 Erik was doing stunt work back then. His corner man and training partner, Chad Stahelski, went on to do tons of stunt work and doubled Keanu Reeves for The Matrix trilogy. ...as for the broken cup, Erik's a tough customer, all the way!

  • TU! I remember seeing this back when it aired, yeah it was definitely the hair, and also I felt that the weird rules actually messed up Paulson who unlike some of the other strikers in there was more well balanced and could grapple and totally looked like he had submissions skills. I felt like he should have just entered as a grappler like Vale.

  • your the bitch you honky thats why warring knocked his ass out btw back then hair pulling was legal you dumb ass!!

  • Here is what history recalls:

    james warring = lil bitch who can't win without hair pulling

    sean maccully = lil bitch who pulls hair and still cant win

    eric paulson = legendary competitor

  • Ahh the old NHB days, anything goes without gloves. But that hair pulling shit was crazy though. Glad paulson elbowed the shit outta him for that shit.

  • shoulda worn the pink bathing cap vs warring

  • Did anyone notice that they didn't have on any gloves!!!! HARDCORE!!!!

  • Awesome. And I now see a resemblance of Christian Bale in Erik that I've havent noticed before. haha the broken cup was nuts! (no pun intended)

  • weird rules,the fighters wee split into grapplers and strikers and paulsen was actually a striker.

  • Erik, Chad, Yuri, Damon and Ron those were the days mid 90s at the Inosanto academy. Wish I could go back and train longer with these guys. Thanks for posting this.

  • Y did Erik have long hair
