The Monster Fights for His Life…

[( o Y o )]

And Wins!


Kevin "The Monster" Randleman is currently in the hospital again after suffering from what the doctors explained as his body was simply shutting down. Kevin was hours from total kidney failure that would have certainly ended his professional fighting career and left him on dialysis for the rest of his life. The monster underwent thirteen surgeries in 2006 for a partially collapsed lung and a shoulder infection. He was on antibiotics and narcotics the whole year and his body finally just taped out.

One must respect his battles inside and outside the ring..he is a warrior.

Too much dangerous products is bad for the kidneys....

Wow 13 surgeries? That's a lot. Let's hope he fully recovers.

[Global Honored]

Very scary. He was/is such a freak athletically too. Natural and pure? No..but still. So much potential. Wish him, his family, friends and team best wishes.

Too much dangerous products is bad for the kidneys....

That is exactly what I was thinking. It makes me wonder what was going into his body al these years. Regardless I hope he is ok and can resume normal life quickly.

That's too bad but kind of self inflicted I think.

Hope he gets healthy.

Kevin needs to take time off and refocus on what he wants out of life.

That's too bad but kind of self inflicted I think.
