For all the armchair-promoting directed at Strikeforce, it’s getting harder to find fault with some of the cards being assembled. (Get past Herschel Walker ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) if you have to, but January’s Nick Diaz ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) vs. Marius Zaromskis ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) fight was worth whatever Showtime charged you.)

With Roger Gracie ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) telling Graciemag.com -- noticed by USAToday.com -- that he’s scheduled to fight Kevin Randleman ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) on May 15, that program’s heavyweight line-up is getting generous. Alistair Overeem ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) is slated to fight Brett Rogers ([Only registered and activated users can see links]); Andrei Arlovski ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and Antonio Silva ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) will appear on the undercard. Fedor Emelianenko ([Only registered and activated users can see links])’s fall/winter 2011 opponent is more than likely somewhere on that list.

At 2-0, Gracie is nowhere near that scene, but he displayed what he could do against a monolith wrestler in Ron Waterman ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) back in 2006. Randleman, dangerous when he chooses to be, may indicate how Gracie reacts to real violence in the ring. And after the disappointment of Rolles Gracie ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) in the UFC and the disappearance of Daniel Gracie ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) from competition, how far a heavyweight from that family can go is still an open discussion.


Kevins my boy but im not really sure what to make of this. Kevin is completely shot. :|

Ive always liked Randleman for some reason but im quite sure hes getting tapped in this fight. Kevin can barley even wrestling anymore and his legs/knees are so fucked up he looks like hes walking with sticks that are about to snap.

Kevin's knee's are shot to pieces. He can barely walk. All the injurys surgerys and Kevon basically not taking care of himself in his prime have more than taken its toll. The guys a walking zombie. Matter of fact he's in worse shape than Coleman.

Roger is taking home an arm or a leg.

Unless Randleman lands another crazy hammerfist from guard, he's getting tapped. And probably early.
