Clarification for Brutal Pugilist's Savage Grapple ability

[Marios]

The Brutal Pugilist's Savage Grapple ability allows the barbarian to make attacks of opportunity when someone tries to grapple him even if that someone possesses Improved Grapple or using the grab special attack.

It further says that if the AOO succeeds, the barbarian gains a +2 to his CMD versus the grapple attempt. My question is and excuse me if I sound silly, does the AOO deal damage normally as well? Or does it only confer that +2 bonus to CMD?

Thanks a lot in advance for your insight!

The way I read it, yes you deal damage. It is an attack of opportunity with an additional effect.
Edit: Don't forget that the damage you deal on your AoO is applied to the CMB check made to grapple you and you get +2 CMD.

That was my opinion as well, but I wanted to check it with the community as well...

My last character died when a beastie with grab+constrict grappled him and squeezed him to death. This won't happen again, trust me! :)

Thanks a lot!
