Erik Paulson vs. Matt Hume - Remastered [Full HD 60FPS] 

These guys are so far ahead of their time it’s like they had a time machine. Both really great

Two of the best coaches for true MMA fightin here. A wealth of knowledge between the two.

Underrecognized masters of their time, both of them.

One of the greatest MMA fights of all time. A true masterpiece. These guys were 25 years ahead of their time. If you get the chance to train with either guy, you better take it

I paid £30 for the Extreme Fighting DVDs, maybe 18 years ago and remember this standing out so far. Two excellent fighters that were way more evolved than some of their fellow fighters.

2:40 my favorite part of the fight

"you have very little skin on the frontal lobe" Peak commentating.

looks like a modern fight

A lot of mma guys got a lot of moves and techniques in practice but you don't see them using it in a real fight they usually just wrestle and hug each other.

This is so much better than my VHS copy :-)

A modern fight in 1996.

Lollll what kind of record is 225 and 18??!? Good gosh I mean WhT???

who did he say was the first fighter to use the spinning elbow in the 1970's ? Around 9:29 mark?

This is like Hip Hop, they said it wouldn't last - light years ahead of their time, but its amazing how the game has moved. So many positions that have evolved!

That take down was the smooth as hell 4:05

Knee?

This has gotta be the one fight I take the most bitterly. Prime Matt Hume, a successful kickboxer and sport BJJ grappler but a 2-5 Pancrase record that he tried to claim was "all works except my wins", a great coach but in my opinion not an excellent MMA fighter, gets a lucky strike on Erik Paulson, a superior fighter and superior MMA coach in virtually every way, and he gets a very undeserved win. I' watching this fight over and over. Paulson was a better striker, better grappler, Matt couldn't even HURT him. Matt seemed to just have this confidence he would win, then suddenly reality came in as he realized he's up against a well-rounded fighter that's better than him and Matt basically just SURVIVES as they're about equal in the clinch and he gets a LUCKY SHOT. I cannot stand Matt Hume. He's just so in love with himself, a liar and convinced of his own greatness... and to see him actually get a win on a good fighter, is just repulsive to me. especially over a fighter I greatly respect.

What happened to John Perretti? He's the matchmaker and i think the creator of Extreme Fighting. He knew how to put on a show.

this is the type of stuff matt teaches at amc. always tells us you don't need to focus on KO's. If you can end the fight with a cut via knee or elbow so we practice using our elbows as knifes.

This is truly a Great Fight between two Masters @ work in all phases of the Fight Game. You can even say this this is a low key Legendary Fight. 👊👊✊✊👏👏👌👌

😮 #EricPaulson Vs. #MattHume in a MMA WAR! 1/3 of the amou t of money! 🤷🏻‍♂️ 3/4 Of UFC Fights today are not this entertaining and skillful!

Paulson was , and still is The Man !

Erik was about to finish, both great fighters ahead of their time.

3:44 "Tryna go behind but he's no Brazilian" 😂🇧🇷

11:30 lol (Heat of the moment hilarity) Paulson's a Great Instructor, All Respect

Feels like MM vs Cruz!

This is a pretty nice altercation both fought well the Champ held his ground won the rounds.

This is great

Great upload

Those two would whoop some ass even by today standards : both grappling and striking are pretty high level.

lol the announcer hates matt hume for some reason

How are they moving so slow?! It’s playing at normal speed but looked in slow motion.

Two legends and two of the best MMA coaches in the world. The wealth of knowledge these two have is way beyond most coaches today.

Os corners fracos,cadê o gelo pra por na nuca dos caras no intervalo pô.Ou era a estrutura do campeonato que não tinha geladeira haha

Not only a good fight, but you'll see Marc, working Eric's corner, and end
