#MarkColeman #KevinRandleman #MMAMark Coleman Tribute To Kevin RandlemanThis is an older recording that we thought would fit right in with this podcast There is no more fitting tribute to Kevin Randleman than that of friend and mentor Mark Coleman. Mark was inspired to speak about Kevin's life and what resulted is nothing short of a mini-DEEPDIVE on Kevin's Hall of Fame career. Thank you Mark.Mark's tribute is unscripted, barely edited and raw. Just like Kevin.R.I.P.
