  - RANDLEMAN RETURNS WITH WVR & GLOBAL FIGHTING
Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - by Damon Martin - MMAWeekly.com
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion and Pride fighter Kevin Randleman recently announced on MMAWeekly Radio that he has signed or agreed to contracts with two different companies and will be fighting in the very near future.
After much speculation, he confirmed that he has signed with Global Fighting Championships and will make his debut with that organization in June.
“As of right now, I am fighting Jeff Monson, June 21 in North Carolina in Bobcat Arena,” said Randleman.
First things first though, he is expected to make his return to fighting in Japan, a place he called home for many years while fighting in Pride Fighting Championships.
“My first fight is going to be May 18 in the new Japanese organization, it is not Pride, (but) World Victory Road,” he continued.
Randleman, who hasn’t fought since October 2006 in a loss to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, has not yet been given an opponent for the World Victory Road fight.
World Victory Road held its first event on Wednesday and announced that both Randleman and Roger Gracie would be fighting on its May event, but it is not yet clear that they would be facing each other.
Contacted for comment, a representative of Randleman’s said that they were working on the final details of his World Victory Road contract and that an opponent would be named shortly after everything is finalized.
