| Post subject: | Kevin Randleman likely to meet Stanislav Nedkov, Sengoku 11 |
http://mmajunkie.com/news/16410/kevin-r ... -nov-7.mma In his first bout since a comeback fight at "Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields" earlier this year, former UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman (17-13) is expected to fight undefeated Stanislav Nedkov (7-0) at World Victory Road's Sengoku 11th Battle event. MMAjunkie reported last week that Nedkov will appear on the card, and a source close to the event today said verbal agreements are in place for the Randleman fight. Sengoku 11th Battle takes place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan, and airs in North America on HDNet. Fighting for the first time in 13 months, Randleman met Mike Whitehead during Strikeforce's St. Louis debut in June. The fight, though, was largely a disappointment as a tentative first round was followed by two slow-paced frames that drew boos from the crowd and disappointment from the Showtime TV audience. Randleman ultimately suffered a unanimous-decision loss, which dropped his record to 2-6 since June 2004. However, the 38-year-old Randleman, who was married earlier this year, recently said he's in the best shape of his career and injury-free for the first time in years. The former PRIDE fighter hopes to reclaim some of the dominance that led him to past wins over the likes of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Murilo "Ninja" Rua, Pedro Rizzo and Renato "Babalu" Sobral. Nedkov, well-versed in wrestling and jiu-jitsu, garnered some attention in May when he topped veteran Travis Wiuff (56-13) via third round TKO at Sengoku Eighth Battle. (It was just Wiuff's second loss in his past 13 fights.) Nedkov, a Bulgarian who previously competed for Shooto, has now won all seven of his career fights via stoppage. Five of the seven came in the first round. |
