The dilemma is ad- dressed by increasing capacity and this is done in training. A decade of fight experience has taught Cole- man that the old athletic motto ‘train hard, fight easy – train easy, fight hard’ is true. In his quest to be the best Coleman pushes himself to his limit and beyond. He need be care- ful not to push so hard that he in- jures himself. Much of his training revolves around sparring. “Ideally I like to rotate a series of sparring partners in rapid succession. If we are grappling I will fight a partner for a specified period of time then he will exit and a new opponent will immediately pick up where the first opponent left off.” This rotational procedure is grueling, effective and taxing.

  • 36 MMA Worldwide in October 1996, Mark Coleman Won the UFC 11 Eight-Man Tourney Without Competing in the Finals
    36 MMA Worldwide In October 1996, Mark Coleman won the UFC 11 eight-man tourney without competing in the finals. But for fans attending the live event, it would be the first time Kevin Randleman would enter the Octagon, though it was nothing more than a friendly grappling match against longtime friend and training partner Coleman. Randleman was an Ohio State University wrestling champion, a three- time All American and former UFC heavyweight champion among other titles, who cut his teeth in MMA by fighting in the old-fashioned vale tudo events in Brazil. Coming off a submission loss to Mauricio Rua at Pride’s debut USA show, Randleman is recovering from surgeries aplen- ty, but one thing is certain, nothing can hold back “The Monster” from competition and life in general. Just after the New Year, MMA WORLD- WIDE gave Randleman the opportunity to tell his inspiring story…in his own words. had surgery after my last fight.

  • Kevin Randleman Named to 2020 Ufc Hall of Fame Class
    For Immediate Release May 16, 2020 KEVIN RANDLEMAN NAMED TO 2020 UFC® HALL OF FAME CLASS Las Vegas – UFC® today announced that former UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman has been named to the UFC Hall of Fame class for 2020 as a Pioneer. The 2020 UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Toyo Tires®, will take place later this year and will be streamed live on UFC FIGHT PASS®. “Kevin Randleman was one of the first real athletes in the early days of UFC,” UFC President Dana White said. “He was a two-time NCAA Division I National Champion and All-American wrestler at The Ohio State University. He was the fifth heavyweight champion in UFC history and one of the first athletes to successfully compete at both heavyweight and light heavyweight. He was a pioneer of the sport and it’s an honor to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2020.” Randleman will enter the UFC Hall of Fame as the 17th member of the Pioneer Era wing. The Pioneers Era category includes athletes who turned professional before November 17, 2000 (when the unified rules of mixed martial arts were adopted), are a minimum age of 35, or have been retired for one year or more. A veteran of 33 professional fights during his 15-year career, Randleman compiled a record of 17-16 (4-3, UFC), including wins over UFC Hall of Famer Maurice Smith, UFC®23: ULTIMATE JAPAN 2 middleweight tournament champion Kenichi Yamamoto and 2006 PRIDE FC world open-weight grand prix champion Mirko Cro Cop.

  • Ohio State Wrestling Head Coach Tom Ryan Reflects on Kevin Randleman
    Ohio State Wrestling Head Coach Tom Ryan Reflects On Kevin Randleman On May 16, former Ohio State wrestler and standout MMA fighter Kevin Randleman was posthumously announced as an inductee to the UFC Hall of Fame by UFC president Dana White. “Kevin Randleman was one of the first real athletes in the early days of UFC,” White said in a statement. “He was a two-time NCAA Division I National Champion and All-American wrestler at The Ohio State University. He was the fifth heavyweight champion in UFC history and one of the first athletes to successfully compete at both heavyweight and light heavyweight. “He was a pioneer of the sport and it’s an honor to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2020.” While the recognition was for Randleman’s pro career – which started in the UFC in 1999 before a move to Pride Fighting in 2002 and saw Randleman accumulate a 17-16 record, including a heavyweight title at UFC 23 and title defense at UFC 26 – much of his best work was done in Columbus. Nicknamed “The Monster,” Randleman won two NCAA titles as a Buckeye at 177 pounds in 1992 and 1993 (the first Buckeye to claim two titles), and was named an All-American three times on his way to 108 career wins. It was during his time at Ohio State where Randleman developed into one of the most feared wrestlers on the planet, an unstoppable athlete with a legendary work ethic that was, for much of his career, still learning the technical side of fighting.

Also known as Vale Tudo, No Holds Barred (NHB), Cage Fighting, Ultimate Fighting, Pride Fighting, Sougo Kakutogi Focus Various Hardness Full contact Olympic sport No Mixed martial arts (MMA), popularly known as cage fighting or ultimate fighting is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture of other combat sports, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of both striking as well as grappling techniques, both while standing and while on the ground. Such competitions allow fighters of different backgrounds to compete. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to various mixed style contests that took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Professional MMA events had also been held in Japan by Shooto starting back in 1989. In due course the more dangerous Vale Tudo style bouts of the early UFCs were made safer with the implementation of additional rules, leading to the popular regulated form of MMA seen today. Originally promoted as a competition with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations,
