You guys have all heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, right? Basically you name an actor or actress and try to connect them to Kevin Bacon in as few steps as possible. For instance, George Clooney. Clooney was in 'Ocean's 11' with Brad Pitt who was in 'Sleepers' with Kevin Bacon. Easy enough, right? So I got to thinking about an MMA version of the game, except instead of movies we'd be talking about fights. Obviously it won't be as easy in MMA with the different weight classes but I think Randleman is a good choice since he has fought at both HW and LHW. So I'll give you an example- Nate Marquardt, a middleweight. Marquardt has fought Anderson Silva who has fought Forrest Griffin who has fought Shogun Rua who has fought Randleman. How about Caol Uno, impossible right? Nope. Uno- BJ Penn- Lyoto Machida- Vernon White- Pedro Rizzo- Randleman. I'm going to throw a few other random names out there and if anyone is bored enough you can try to make the link (if there is one):

• Kimbo Slice
• Royce Gracie
• Tom Lawlor
• Don Frye
• Mayhem Miller
• Bob Sapp

And you guys are free to pick different ones if you want, I just thought this was something fun and interesting to pass some time and help us learn about the history of the sport as well. Have fun!
