In just his third career bout, Gracie took on former UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman, as the long-time veteran’s highlight career was coming to an end. Upon Securing a Thai clinch, Gracie dropped ‘The Monster’ with a flush knee to the chin, and proceeded to drag the Ohio wrestling Hall of Famer into deep water. Calm and collected, the London based Brazilian finished the contest by sinking in a Rear Naked Choke.
