    Agreed on Cormier..his stand up is totally improved and with that said, I don't know if many heavyweights can take him to the ground...unless he falls for the Werdum flop

    A lot of exciting fights last night, aside from the obvious black sheep. Looking forward to the next Strikeforce card!

    I agree, and I thought Overeem lost on the stand up, only he connected more power punches...Werdum had too much respect for him.
