Can't believe Randleman is dead!

Definitely one of the most physically gifted mma fighters of alltime. Despite his mixed career record he had some great performances like beating Rutten, destroying a prime Mirko Crocop and coming the closest to beating a prime Fedor.

 

When I first heard it, I thought it was the drug use as well. But then again there was Dekkers who died at 43 and I don't think he used any peds. So who knows what the real reasons are.

 

Surprised me. He might not have won all his big fights, but he fought the best of his era from Fedor to Shogun to Chuck Liddell and many more.

An entertaining fighter with heart, wish he had switched training camps early in his career to round out his game.

 

Truly sad! He didn't always win, but he was always a fun fighter to watch. No one will ever forget the suplex he landed on Fedor.

 

Sad story, I knew his name and he was a stalwart in the 00s mma scene. Rip.

 

Randleman must have been a scary guy to get in the ring with. Sorry to hear he's gone.

 

...at just 44? Of pneumonia? :-(

 

I read he died from heart failure. Wouldn't be surprised if massive steroid use contributed, those hammerhouse guys were notorious for being juiced to the gills. Speaking of, I read a little while back Coleman wasn't doing too well either.

 

I still say it's the biggest upset in mma history, especially given how it happened.
