The X Factor: Striking is a skill both of these fighters like to show off, with less than impressive results. Regardless, if the wrestling game produces a stalemate, look for Randleman to start winging punches and Whitehead to start taking them. He will have no answer for Randleman’s hand speed and power.
***
The Bottom Line: The game may have left Randleman behind some time ago, but his skills remain largely intact. They’re more than enough to handle Whitehead, who does not have the wrestling chops to stop Randleman. This match will turn one-sided, as Randleman notches a ho-hum three round decision thanks to his ongoing love affair with ground-and-no pound.
