kevin randlemanThe tough road continues for Kevin Randleman.

The former UFC heavyweight champion and PRIDE FC veteran was arrested on Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and other charges last night in Nevada, according to MMAWeekly.com.

Here’s a snip:

“… records also indicate that he was arrested on several charges including DUI, Speeding, Driving Without a Valid License, Intimidating a Public Officer, Malicious Destruction of Public Property, and others.”

“The Monster” is still serving a one-year suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) when it was revealed he provided a non-human urine sample following his submission loss to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at PRIDE 32: “The Real Deal” on October 21, 2006.

He is now in Las Vegas as the wrestling coach for the Los Angeles Anacondas of the IFL. “The Chocolate Milkshake” — as he is known to Japanese pro wrestling fans — is also working with the head coach of the Anaconda’s, Shawn Tompkins, on a potential return to mixed martial arts competition.

The two-time NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion from Ohio State defeated Pete Williams at UFC 23 in 1999 to capture the vacant heavyweight title. His title reign was brief, however, when Randy Couture stopped him the following year via technical knockout (strikes) at UFC 28 in round three of their championship bout.

Wait, if he was able to sneak urine in to use in place of his own. Why would he use “non-human urine”, why not get his cousin to piss in the bottle?

Intimidating a public officer involves him looking in his eyes. Kevin Randleman is a freak, i’m intimidated and i’ve never even met him before.

Maybe he drank it on a dare and it was passing through his body when they tested him? Innocent mistake. And if they test his real pee and find steroids then he can appeal it like Shrek.

Maybe the animal pee had alcohol in it unbeknownst to him. He’s just an innocent victim in this witch hunt!
(yes, I’m kidding)

Randleman could still be a decent MMA fighter if he cleans up his act. He seemed to be a good guy. This guy is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, which means he is no pushover for any fighter. I remember the gag he played on fans, when he and Bas Rutten pretended to get into a fight when Bas Rutten was interviewing him; that was classic. I hope Mark Coleman makes Randleman realize that he still has talent and he has to get his life straightened out.

The last time I had to go for a drug test, I submitted giraffe piss. I had no problems sneaking it in and it would have worked just fine. Except for the fact that the giraffe had crystal meth and oxycontin in his system.

This guy is a hot head and it was just a matter of time before something like this happened. I remember how he behaved after chuck tko’ed him, he behaved like a total arse and I thought he was going to punch big john, guy has no class.

he definitly did not sneak anyone elses piss into the testing room, wat happened was he probably took some sort of de-tox that cleaned out everything

Randleman belongs in the IFL, that way he can still lose and no one will care.

“Intimidating a Public Officer?”

Officer: “Listen buddy your not going to intimidate me.”
Randleman: {stares down officer}
Officer: {trembles}
Randleman: “Is that feces I smell?”

it just gets worse for this guy. So much talent. I would love to see this guy back in the UFC. First the urine issue and now this. He’s pretty much done

That’s just the thing, that was his urine. He is just that awesome.

Not this. Not here. I don’t care what an athlete do on his/her personal time. This is not news worthy. I’m sure it wasn’t the only dui of the night in nevada, and this one is no more important than any other. Athletes are regular cititzens too. This does not diminish his fighting accomplishments, not one bit.

Too bad Randleman didn’t have a Kuala Bear or a Prarie Dog riding with him in the car to take the breathalizer. If he can pass non-human urine, why can’t he use non-human breath?

I thought he had early stages of kidney failure. Talk about roided to the max. The guy sweats steroids. Still, I’ll always remember him fondly for dumping a certain Russian cyborg on his head. That was one of the most spectacular moments in mma ever without question…..Oh yeah not forgetting his 10 minute interview about how he was going to beatdown Shogun and how he said there’s nothing that Shogun can do to him that he hasn’t already seen.

Poor Kevin though, he like many thought his excellent wrestling and brute strength would stand him in good stead for mma greatness. Sadly I feel you can’t teach old dogs new tricks, especially someone as boneheaded as the Monster.

That being said, I’d welcome his return to the UFC as he’s a colourful character; always entertaining never a dull moment.

How about Tito vs. Randleman for the no. 34 contender….Kidding of course, they could both still be top 10.

Well thats just the problem, his mentor, Coleman, is so juiced up himself that he doesnt know up from down. You see how crazy Coleman gets sometimes in the ring? Both these guys juice up hard but you cant blame them, their former wrestlers. I still love watching them fight

Fedor’s neck actually broke with that slam but it healed in time for him to land that submission.

Being a former wrestler doesn’t make you a juicer. Being on team ” Hammer Ass” makes you a juicer.

Wrestling has nothing to do with steroids. Training with team hammerhouse has a lot to do with taking steroids.

Leave the guy alone, he has had a lot of hard stuff happen to him over the years and just needs a break! Take a break Kevin and you’ll get it all back and more!
