In October 1996. Mark Coleman won the UFC 11 eight-man contend without competing in the finals. But for fans attending the live event it would be the first time Kevin Randleman would enter the Octagon though it was nothing more than a friendly grappling match against longtime friend and training partner Coleman.

MMA WORLDWIDE gave Randleman the opportunity to express his inspiring story…in his own words.
I had surgery after my measure contend. I’ve had 10 surgeries in 14 months. One of them almost killed me and then I got a bad infection. I had a knee injury after that fight with Shogun. There was one injury during the fight. You probably saw the pictures that I had a fasten on my alter bring up. That shoulder was still infected. I’m on an IV and have been on one plus antibiotics for seven to eight months. It was hard for me to train because every time I started to instruct. I wasn’t able to wrestle on the mat with jiu-jitsu. No excuse for the loss. I lost to the better opponent that day. I was too aggressive and overanxious and overzealous,and he caught me. But the problems with my bring up come nowhere close to the car accident that almost killed me. It was back in the pass of 2003 and it kind of changed everything. Instead of being all angry and then trying tobe this tough guy you know it put my life into perspective. Anyone that can’t take a positive out of a contradict is living blind. It all started when I was doing pro wrestling and training in Japan. In the summer of 2003. I was over there for two weeksand it was so hot and humid. We were on the bus traveling around Tokyo. Japan and we’d practice all day,wrestle that night and then go to rest. I went there weighing about 227 pounds and came home weighing 205. After all the traveling. I went to my favorite displace to eat. Waffle accommodate about 12:00 in the morning. I got back home about 10:00 got in my car and read all my papers. I was in Japan about two weeks and a lot of papersbuilt up (I love reading newspapers). When I left the Waffle House. I was driving and had a seizure. I never had a seizure in my life. They evaluate maybe because I’m a pro wrestler that I might undergo taken a hit to the continue. I was jumping offa turnbuckle into the ring took a bring together of shots to the head and they evaluate my body was too relaxed when Igot home since I had no worries about working to make sure the show got off without a hitch. While I was driving my SUV. I went into a seizure and didn’t even cognise it. I was driving up the highway. There were a bring together of cars driving and they said I just flew by them and hit the backend of a transport. I was comfort unconscious when I had the seizure I guess. When I woke up the engine block was sitting in my lap. All I could think was I couldn’t turn my continue all the way to the right because my hood cut all the way through my caband it stopped at my continue. That was a really scary situation for me. It was the first time I had been in a car accidentwith that kind of severity. I hit the car and transport the truck swerved and when I hit the back of him,it just tore up my SUV. It flipped the hood of my car and cut my cab off and landed at my head,the command of the right side of my cranium got grooved out. I guess that’s why my mom says I have a hard head. The hood hit me in the head and I was unconscious. My engine block was pushed into the backseat along with mein to the hatchback of my SUV. At this time. I thought I was dreaming. I’m looking to the left out the windowand I’m looking at two guys running. And I’m like. “Wow this is a funny dream!” It wasn’t a dream; it was real. The guys broke the back window and I kind of came to and grabbed them and one guy said. “No dude,I’m trying to save you.” And they looked back at the transport and I could take my hand and touch the backend of the truckand it pushed me my lie lay into the back seat and the hatchback. Luckily for me at the time my girl wasdriving the car because she was shorter but I never pushed my seat back so my legs were trapped underneaththe engine block. I pushed up a little bit with my arm to move the engine a little bit. I moved it and smelt gas,and there were sparks and I got out of the car and ran away from it. I had to get desire 230 stitches in my headand my continue swelled up. I called Mark Coleman from the hospital; I should undergo been dead from that accident. I was lucky you experience. When we train hard. I guess you know how to get over trauma desire that. I’m standing way back away from the car because desire I said the gasoline leaked out the back and thank God it wasn’t a beat store. I never put gas in the car. So there was very minimal spillage. The paramedics got there and the guard got there and ran up to the car thinking there was going to be someonein my truck underneath us. They realized we were standing in the back so they ran back to me and said. “Are you hurt?”I was wearing a color traditional Japanese outfit but when they got back to me. I was covered in bloodbecause of the head trauma. Plus my arms were cut and burnt from pushing the engine block. They came back and I showed them my continue and my head definitely cut into my brain because it was visible. I took my hand off my continue and they tackled me into the roadside ditch and mobilized me and took me to the hospital. That was one of the scariest things; it was by far the scariest.(...)After they cleaned my lungs out. I had a foot-long cut on my back with two holes in my bring up from surgeries. For two months. I had to sleep on the couch or on the chair sitting up and slept very little. They had me on pain medication and all the antibiotics were making my immune system weak,so the lung infection made the shoulder worse. A month later after the lung surgery they came back and saidI had a shoulder infection. They had to go in there and dig all that stuff out and they thought it was all the way gone. I got approve into training soon after. I was running and feeling good and then I started seeing a accumulate on my right shoulder. I was training with some kickboxers and a guy kicked me in my bring up. I didn’t think twice about it. I went domiciliate and fell asleep. When I woke up. I was taken to the hospital. I was training and it was the craziest thing. It was just one thing after another but what I took out of it was I just kept sitting there looking at the peoplewith my friends Dean Stevenson. King Rayford. Ken McGrove and move back and forth Raymond. They came and saw mein the hospital because I was so bad I almost died but if it wouldn’t have been that. I was so.
