Randleman was one of the best fighters in UFC, who held the UFC Heavyweight Champion title for an entire year in 1999. It has been eight years since we said goodbye to the wrestling legend.
Apart from being a great fighter, Randleman was a family man. He was married to Elizabeth Broglia and had a bunch of children.

Kevin and Elizabeth’s son, Santino, was born in 2011. He is 13 year-old as of 2024.
While celebrating Santino’s 13th birthday in May 2024, Elizabeth shared a series of snaps on her Instagram. In another post, she wrote,
“Of all the things I’ve created you by far are the GREATEST. Thank you for making me a mom. Thank you for being everything Daddy and I dreamed you would be. Celebrating you today was everything. You are my everything Santino Randleman.”
Elizabeth Broglia Randleman
Randleman’s widow often finds various ways to celebrate his life and legacy.
In 2020, Elizabeth, and 15 of his loved ones gathered at his parents’ old house in Sandusky, Ohio.
They planted a tree in the yard, spread Kevin’s ashes, and toasted with his favorite drink, cherry Kool-Aid.
The highlight was the release of monarch butterflies because Kevin loved butterflies.
According to his family, whenever he traveled as “The Monster,” he made sure to buy something butterfly-related for his daughter, Jasmine.
On that day, one butterfly perched on his daughter Jasmine’s finger, then moved to his son Santino’s, and later to Madolyn’s.
Kevin’s eldest son, Calvin, tried but struggled to catch a butterfly. Eventually, one landed on a picture of Kevin on Calvin’s T-shirt.
Elizabeth believed that Kevin’s spirit was in that butterfly. And she misses him more on such days.
