The Monster reigns.
Kevin Randleman, a former Ohio State wrestling legend, has earned a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame, the organization announced Saturday night during Fight Night 176. He'll be in the Pioneer wing of the Hall of Fame, which honors the original innovators of MMA.
As mixed martial arts evolved and the UFC began to gain a foothold in the sport, Randleman ascended. Between March 5, 1999 and Jan. 11, 2002, he went 4-3 in the UFC, capturing the heavyweight title by beating Pete Williams in a unanimous decision at UFC 23 then defending it with another unanimous decision victory against Pedro Rizzo at UFC 26.
