Nice!
I tried to find a gif of Randleman's epic vertical leap to contribute, but could not find one. (Once a Sherdog standard to judge athletic ability by)
instead, I present this:
Come on man, you are definitely older though. I watched ufc 1 when I was 6 cuz of my older brother and i lived my pre-teen to teen watching pride fc events live on the weekends with my bro and his friends.Nobody on Sherdog these days were born before the year 2000 bro, except me 1983.
I love this brief clip (time stamped) right before the fight where Mo says Coleman 'punches like a girl.'

Yeah, I've often listed it as one of the greatest upsets in UFC history but not many current fans know about it.For those of us that were watching at the time and following each event, this was a shocker. No one thought a striker could beat a dominant grappler like Coleman.
There's been a lot of talk on here about Coleman. To paraphrase some crazy 90s song:No problem friend! Sherdog is a positive place where we celebrate the fighters who risk their lives for our entertainment.
His explosiveness, his raw, uncut power. His relentless pace and ability to bang other men into submission. His thick, strong muscular body with tremendous girth, and size helped him become the first black champion.
Current fans are too lazy to go back & watch the past fights that made current fights possible.Yeah, I've often listed it as one of the greatest upsets in UFC history but not many current fans know about it.
On top of being a monster was a truly compassionate man too. A fan claimed Kevin helped him stop himself from committing suicide when he posted he was about to do so on twitter. Said he got a DM shortly after as he was prepping to do it from Kevin asking if he was ok. And if he could have his number. Said Kevin called him up a minute or two later and coached him through it. Sharing stories of his own troubles that he had to perservere through as a youth. Urging him to do something to change his path as soon as he got off the phone. Claiming that he sought help immediately.Word.

Kevin was a wonderful human being. Happy to share it.Man, what a great post.
I had no idea about this. It's the best thing I've read on here in a long time, and something I won't forget.
Thanks for sharing this.
It took him until 2nd grade to get a trophy? Clearly we have societal problems“Omg my little 2nd grade nephew Mikey got his first trophy”
And I cannot, therefore I shaln't.It’s just a word as long as you pass the dna test Sherbro
