The
Strikeforce heavyweight tournament has finally ended and we have got
a winner. It is safe to say that the victory in the Grand Prix puts
Daniel Cormier in the top five of the heavyweight rankings, which
could mean that it is about time for him to fight for the UFC title.
However, that will not happen yet as Strikeforce (SF) and its host –
Showtime have signed the winner of the tournament to have one last
fight in Strikeforce. That means that the number one contender for
the UFC heavyweight title could very possibly be determined in the
Cormier's last fight in SF. ZUFFA have decided to shut Strikeforce's
heavyweight division down and send their best heavyweight talent to
the UFC. The main question now is who will be Daniel's opponent as at
the moment he is the only heavyweight on the Strikeforce roster. It
appears that ZUFFA has only two options – they can either bring one
of UFC's elite heavyweights, or get a serious free agent to face
Daniel Cormier.
