Erik Paulson: Trash-talker Antonio Silva should fight Josh Barnett

According to the legendary MMA coach Erik Paulson, Josh Barnett will meet (and beat) Antonio Silva in finale of the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP. Paulson revealed that after Antonio Silva has been talking a lot of trash and bragging about his achievements as a fighter, Josh Barnett is the man put him where he belongs in terms of Heavyweight rankings.

This weekend, Strikeforce Heavyweight GP Semi-Finals will take place at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. Josh Barnett will square off against Sergei Kharitonov, while Antonio Silva will test his skills against the A.K.A. product Daniel Cormier. Strikeforce Heavyweight GP final is expected to take place later this year.
