Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Kevin Randleman has passed away.
There is not much information at this time beyond his sister posting the information to Facebook, although it seems true as Bas Rutten has sent his condolences.
Randleman fought a who's who of MMA Legends including Randy Couture, Chuck Liddel, Mirko CroCop (defeating him to secure the "Upset of the Year" award in 2004), and Fedor Emelianenko.
RIP
I saw this on Twitter and felt like sharing. Randleman was an entertaining fighter.
Pulled a tribute video off of YouTube. (Language Warning)

That sucks. Here's his big upset win over Cro Cop, with Mauro Renallo losing his shit as an added bonus.
RIP

Holy damn.
Never saw him fight, but used him all the time in MMA games.
Had a memorable knockout of Brock in Unleashed 3 with him.
Sad to hear of his passing.

Damn... I remember him from the early years of the UFC.
44 is too damn young...
Rest in peace, man.

From what I heard it was a heart attack. Not a big surprise since he was using steroids. But RIP he had the worst luck of any career
EDIT: Just found out he had pneumonia and had heart failure RIP

Best win: CroCop Worst loss: Pipes(KO) {Spoiler}  RIP Shelton Kidding aside, he was a great, great fighter who had so much natural talent it was SCARY. He took a turn for the worse later in his career but he was and always will be a champion. |

f***, RIP. Dude was one of the more entertaining fighters in PRIDE. His German suplexes are a thing of legend.

Was away from my computer all day Thursday, so just found out yesterday and was stunned. Always liked Randleman, one of the big names when I first started watching MMA. RIP

RIP and the randleplex will always be remembered as a thing of beauty.
But looking back it is rather sad to see how rapid his decline as a fighter was as the guy was never the same after he lost to Fedor.
