There is only one HW's in Strikeforce now, the division has been axed. Be interested to see who they bring over for Cormier to fight next though
Cormier is a force , there is no doubt about that now !!! , he will be a major player in the UFC's HW division , which incidentally is now looking really strong , should they add Cormier , even stronger !!!
Whats everyone top ten list looking like? Im going along with this- 1. J. Dos Santos UFC champ 2. A. Overeem Lineal champion, Strikeforce champ, Dream Champ 3. C. Velaquez 4. F. Werdum 5. D. Cormier 6. J. Barnett 7. S. Carwin 8. F. Mir 9. A. Silva 10. Fedor B. Lesnar retired, S. Carwin? Retired or is he still around?
If both men keep winning it will happen. Interesting fight. I can see Cormier winning this too. I hate to say it but it would be EPIC.
I would imagine there would be ways and means around getting the deal done , there are other players in the Strikeforce conglomerate , not just Zuffa , it would not be as cut and dry as a UFC card i imagine
Id never even seen him until he despatched Big Foot , which really got my attention , then i went over his credentials , and wham !!! it was clear this guy is a force , looked over extensive footage of where i could find it and I'm very convinced of this guys talent / ability , he's here for the duration Velasquez will be back on top one day !!!
Thats a pretty solid list , i think the top 10 picks itself , or more or less does anyway , mine as follows : Carwin goes under the knife pretty soon , if he already hasn't , some one may correct me on that , his target is to be back in Oct / Nov 1. Junior dos Santos 2. Daniel Cormier 3. Cain Velasquez 4. Fabricio Werdum 5. Josh Barnett 6. Antonio Silva 7. Shane Carwin 8. Frank Mir 9. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueirra 10. Fedor Emelianenko I havent ranked Overoid for obvious reasons Worth noting that Frank Mir after this fight will IMO fade into the MMA wilderness having had a successful and at times glittering career (when he was on it!) , he's been matched very well by the UFC in the build up to this title shot and his ranking is slightly flattering , never the less he has got momentum , and has ability , no doubt Miocic , Hunt , Browne , Russow , Kharitonov , all worth mentioning here as well
