Making 185 has got to be difficult for him. He might have to go up a class as he gets another 2-3 years under him.

Eryk was a pretty nice guy the few times I've met him. He's an Eagle Scout too and apparently likes bashing people in the face.

As a linebacker he was 235 lbs. He is having trouble making weight at 185. He is 9-0 in professional MMA.

Can't use deer antler spray in UFC like you can at Bama.

I met him at a signing after the 2009 Natty and he seemed to be a really nice guy...good thing because I wouldn't want to piss him off.

So the other guy was just acting when he got his head bounced off the mat with that last punch?
