?????? He won the heavyweight grand prix tournament and no it wasn't only barnett. He also beat Antonio Big Foot Silva who beat fedor :deal
He has two wins against decent guys (Barnett and Big Foot) who we don't really know what they have. The pool in Strikeforce is way too shallow to draw conclusions. We'll see how Big Foot does tomorrow but I'm not going to get too excited until I see Cornier fight a live guy who isn't ancient by fight standards. The UFC has a few guys that fit the bill.
I was referring to Strikeforce cards , not UFC cards !!! i.e. match Melendez with a UFC contender under the SF banner , it hasn't been done , it hasn't been discussed or mentioned ?? , infact Dana has stated it won't be happening
Big Foot was despatched in clinical fashion , Josh Barnett even now would rank top 5 in the UFC's HW division Fringe contenders such as Miocic , Struve , Kongo etc would go into a fight with Cormier an underdog Like i said Frank Mir is next in line , having fought Cro Cop , Roy Nelson and Nogueirra , Cormier's run is better than Mir's right now , and Mir's fighting for a title , when credentials such as Cormier's pop up in MMA you have to sit up and take notice , and match him accordingly , what he hasn't achieved in ama wrestling isn't worth achieving , add a stand up game to that and he will be a force in MMA
junior vs cormier must happen now!!! on inside mma cormier was saying he gonna defend his belt in strike force n there guna send some one over to fight him . who should they send?? i think they gonna do big country vs cormier in strikeforce meanwhile i think they might do cain vs junior rematch possibly i would love if they just made the junior vs cormier fight now ufc is pretty quick on letting u no who the champ is going to fight next so we should be gettign some news soon and another thing is that cormier broke his hand again so that can delay all types of ****
The way Bigfoot was easily dismantled by a guy JDS destroyed might be a worry for Cormier, JDS is a cut above the Barnett's and Bigfoot's etc...
