The X-Factor: Anytime Randleman fights, the X-factor remains the same -- the black hole that is his submission defense. Nedkov is no Roger Gracie, but he does have some decent submission skills, and Randleman has become known for making the kinds of mistakes you usually do not see past a first-day jiu-jitsu class. It remains hard to work anything effectively when Randleman shifts into Zamboni mode, but Nedkov will have nothing but time assuming he does not become drowsy from boredom.

The Bottom Line: Nedkov will get taken down. Can he do something about it? Anyone who can apply a submission has a chance against Randleman, and Nedkov has proven capable of doing at least that. A dreadfully boring fight comes to an anti-climactic end, as Randleman works his way right into another submission loss.
