Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 12, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 12, 2020 Good spot. It’s Erikson throwing me off. I always recall (probably wrongly) him being gone by 2003 but he might’ve just been there to corner someone. Probably is from around the time of Fedor vs Fujita or the GP. So summer 2003 most likely.

jimufctna24 Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) 37 minutes ago, Egg Shen said: The Big Cat was fighting in Pride until '05. Aye, but he had a 3 year hiatus between 2002 and 2005. His return fight in February of 2005, in which he was lost to Werdum, was also his last with the promotion. Hence, it's understandable why Wand associated Ericson with Pride in the early 00s rather than the mid-00s. 4 out of his 5 fights with the promotion took place between 1999 and 2002. I personally associate him with the excellent Pride FC video game which was released in 2003. His character was surprisingly piss-easy to beat IIRC. Edited December 13, 2020 by jimufctna24 Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 13, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted December 13, 2020 fair point Jim Erickson for a short time during his initial Pride run was regarded by some as one ofcthe best Heavyweights in the World. He really is one of the forgotten heavies when talking MMA history. Quote
Lasty Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 I believe Tom Erickson is also one of the only fighters to win by what used to be affectionately known in MMA circles as the "rape choke." Against Matt Skelton if I recall correctly. Quote
