The "Big Cat" Tom Erikson made his fighting debut in 1996 at the tail end of a decorated wrestling career. Erikson was a wrestling coach at Purdue while he fought in "No Holds Barred" and the school in Northern Indiana became a hotbed for fighters. Erikson fought in Brazil, Japan and the United States in events that didn't require gloves and had virtually no rules or weight classes. Erikson excelled and there was a time where he was considered one of the toughest men on the planet.Erikson now coaches at Duke University and he still trains and watches the modern sport of MMA. One of the most insightful interviews ever with one of the wrestlers who made early transition to the fight game. Subscribe to the Lytes Out Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnyrswDJ9PkNHqFLOMfIdZw Socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lytesoutpodcast/ iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lytes-out-podcast/id1568575809 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3q8KsfqrSQSjkdPLkdtNWb Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LytesOutPodcast/ Cash App - $mikedavis1231Venmo - Mike-Davis-63ZEILE: Cutthroatmma@gmail.com / ph#: 773-491-5052 Patreon - Lytesoutpodcast@gmail.comFollow the #LOP team on Instagram: Chris - @chrislightsoutlytle Mike - @mikedavis632 Miguel - @iturratemSupport the show
