KNUCKLE UP #328: Kevin Randleman Farewell, Settling Rumors Connected to His Passing, McG, Again + UFC FN 83

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to his 17-year-old acquaintance with KEVIN RANDLEMAN, specifically, with a seasoned medical professional in tow, to discuss how the rumormongers attempting to tie his death from heart failure to PEDs are way off base. This, the loneliness of the long time MMA fighter, the very real ways in which McG is saving the fighter side of the fight equation and an ever-brief nod at an upcoming UFC Fight Night 83.

In Round #328 the man with the medical plan whose middle name starts with STAN and who'll tell a muddafucker in a minute to go pound sand KNUCKLE UP host EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the S standing for "Yes. Stanley"], takes an unshaved turn for the somber when discussing the passing of one of the first MMA fighters he ever interviewed back in 1998, KEVIN RANDLEMAN. He celebrates the man whilst simultaneously putting to bed the nasty rumor mongering around his alleged use of performance enhancing drugs and the likelihood of them being causally connected to his death. That, and a look at other Hall of Famer-esque fighters, how they're doing and how everybody should really be a lot nicer to McG. Plus a brief look at UFC Fight Night 83.
