Many news and notes come out of Saturday night's post-event press conference for Strikeforce: "Shamrock vs. Diaz", but one of the more interesting tidbits coming out of the press conference was that Strikeforce announced the signing of Kevin Randleman. Twelve-plus-year-veteran, Randleman has fought just twice in the past three-and-a-half years and he hasn't fought since last May's Sengoku: Second Battle, where he defeated Ryo Kawamura by decision. Randleman sports a 17-12 overall MMA record and the majority of his fights have been with the UFC and Japan's Pride organization.

Below are quotes from Both Kevin Randleman and Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker at last night's post event press conference:

Scott Coker on when Randleman would fight:

"We have an announcement soon, so you'll have to wait until next week," Coker said. "But we're going to try and put him in the rotation right away. There's going to be some great fights in the future for Kevin, and we're excited."

Coker on  Randleman being suspended indefinitely by the NSAC after a failed 2006 drug test:

"I talked with Nevada state, and [Randleman] is cleared to go, So we're good to go."

Randleman on his eagerness to fight:

"Thank you very much for the opportunity to come back and show everybody that I'm not done yet, Far from it. Now that I'm here, understand this – it comes from the heart," Randleman said. "I'll fight anybody, anywhere. When Scott (Coker) says it's time to get down and dirty, understand this: I'm not coming to lose, and I'm not coming to back up."
