Daniel Cormier
"I think they took a lot away when they said we're all going (to the UFC). If all those guys have gone over there, eventually we're going. Obviously, we're the last two, we're in the finals of the tournament, so we're going to get our chance in the UFC. So, it kind of takes a little bit of the - there's no surprise to it. We're going. It doesn't matter if it's now or in six months. I've got some business to take care of with Josh. If I can finish with the belt that has Fedor's name on it and 'Bigfoot' and Josh Barnett and all those guys, that's a huge accomplishment for me. For a guy who has only been fighting for two and a half years now."

Sounds like you're EXITED!
Yeah jamesmma is excited , let's all weak him !
this is strikeforce grand prix...
Cool Daniel Cormier ! :)
I also look forward to see you getting pounded on the ground and submitted by Fedor's friend : Josh "Georges" Barnett !
He landed a lucky punch against Bigfoot Silva.
Eh...wtf are you talking about. He outclassed Bigfoot and finished him in style. The guys got good hands w a lot of power...and great wrestling.
I was going to say your a noob, but decided to ask you, if you actually saw that fight first.
Your going to need patience bro. Josh WILL take you down and patience is what you'll need when your on the bottom trying to breathe.
Really? Are you sure about that? DC is probably the best HW wrestler in the business right now.
Lol u think Josh can take Cormier down?.. dont hold your breath dude... There is no way Josh can get Cormier down. It's just not gonna happen.. I don't see him handling Cormier's HEAVY hands either so do the math.... Im a Josh fan, but this is a BAD matchup for the dude...
um...yea, pretty sure.
Barnett is one of the smarter fighters out there in tactics. He shows up and reminds people of that fact once in a while.
Cormier is easily top 5 HWs out there!, He just hasnt had the competition to prove it, and when he has faced tough guys, he has smoked them like a blunt roach on Nick Diaz's computer desk!
Cormier is a fat ass who belongs in Strikeforce can divison.
You are either a troll or have redefined the definition of stupid.
...I'm guessing both
Barnett beats Cormier
then Barnett beats Fedor
and then
gets an immediate shot at the UFC belt
2012 will be the Year of the Heavies
