    Yeah I dunno what Strikeforce is going to do with Cormier. He has what, one fight left on his deal?

    That is the main event and the co-main. Sorry, Australia, lame-o card once again.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    The UFC tried replacing Frank Mir with Matt Mitrione vs. Daniel Cormier, but Mitrione said no. As a result it's unlikely he'll get what he wants (a fight with Rampage).

    Why the fuck would Zuffa even try to line that up? DFW is fucking childish for thinking Meathead would take that fight. Why would he !?

    Cormier should debut in the UFC at 205.

    The UFC and Strikeforce are having a tough time finding an opponent for Daniel Cormier. Pat Barry supposedly in the running after being called out by DC.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    I must not be getting something, why wouldn't Mitrione take a fight with Cormier? And why does no one want to fight Cormier? Because they would have to do so in Strikeforce?

    I think it would be a horrible idea for Mitrione to take that fight, it would effectively kill his career I think. His wrestling is so weak, DC would take him down immediately and maul him.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Yeah because they'd have to leave the UFC and go to Strikeforce. Like taking a step down, and a pointless one at that since Strikeforce's heavyweight division is done after Cormier's last fight there. Beating Cormier doesn't set up a guy for a UFC HW title shot.

    Frank Mir had nothing to lose since he has a job for life in the UFC but most of the heavyweights aren't in that position.

    Cormier vs. Mir possibly back on for January, supposing Strikeforce is still around by then. They did wind up canceling the November show (second in a row).

    Quentin Jackson wants to fight Glover Teixeira. Sounds like the kind of fight they could use to main event the Superbowl show in early February.

    Rashad Evans would drop to middleweight for a title fight but has been told he needs to win once at the new weight before getting a shot. He's not keen on that so he's staying at LHW for now.

    But it sounds like Griffin will be fighting Phil Davis.

    Anthony Pettis is hospitalized with Staph, putting his fight with Cerrone in doubt.

    What better fight would there be for Gil Melendez's UFC debut?
