World Victory Road on Thursday officially announced the participation of former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Kevin Randleman and New Zealander Jim York for its May 18 Sengoku II fight card. The event is scheduled to take place at the Ariake Colosseum in Tokyo.
Randleman confirmed his participation to MMAWeekly.com early in March, but his opponent has yet to be announced. He hasn’t competed since losing to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in October 2006.
Randleman is also signed to face Jeff Monson in June at the Global Fighting Championships in Charlotte, N.C.
Based out of New Zealand, York has fought his past three fights in Asia, including his last two in Tokyo. He has amassed a 9-1 professional record without ever going to a decision.
