Randleman could be the man to hand Roger Gracie his Strikeforce debut



Former UFC heavyweight champion, Kevin Randleman appears to be the man who will oppose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master, Roger Gracie in his Strikeforce debut, set to happen on May 15th in St. Louis, Missouri.

Sources close to the situation revealed the news to MMAJunkie.com, saying Randleman is the man leading the wish list of the promotion and that an approach has already been made. Former UFC and PRIDE fighter, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou appears to be the back-up.

Roger Gracie has won both his MMA fights to date, defeating Ron Waterman via first round submission back in 2006. This was followed up by another first round finish in 2008 against Yuki Kondo.

Randleman is on a two fight slide having lost to both Mike Whitehead and Stanislav Nedkov via decision. Meanwhile Sokoudjou finds himself in a similar position having lost to Strikeforce 205 pound champion, Gegard Mousasi and Ikuhisa Minowa.

Ik hoop dat Roger Gracie ietsje beter zich gaat voorbereiden dan Rolles laatst!
Hij heeft maar 2 mma partijen gevochten tot nu toe maar ik denk dat hij deze wel pakt! Randleman is niet meer wat ie is geweest!!

idd rolles was toen net 30 seconde en die gastank was al helemaal leeg, dat leek echt helemaal nergens op..

Ik ben van weinig mensen fan, maar Roger Gracie komt toch zeer dichtbij. Hij is ook van een andere klasse dan Rolles. Ben benieuwd hoe hij Randleman naar de grond gaat krijgen en hoe hij zich staand tegen hem redt.
