Randleman Out Of Godz Of War

Former Pride and UFC fighter Kevin Randleman has been forced to pull out of a Godz of War event due to injury.

The bout was due to take place on June 21st in Charlotte, North Carolina. Godz of War have succeeded in finding a replacement in the form of Ricco Rodriguez. Rodriguez will take on former UFC heavyweight Jeff "The Snowman" Monson.

This is another major setback for Randleman, who has suffered many injuries in the past few years. His current injury is a recurring shoulder injury he has suffered with for a few years. He aggravated the injury in training and has been forced off the card. He also suffered other serious health issues such as kidney failure, and a staph infection that left a very large, very deep hole in his chest.

Rodriguez now gets his chance to face Monson for a second time. The pair first met at UFC 35, where Ricco came out the victor. Monson can now look to avenge this loss.
