Daniel Cormier’s Final Strikeforce Fight Set for Sept. 29th in Sacramento

[Rich Davie]

(“Put up or shut up! Time to DOUBLE up!“)

During the broadcast of Saturday’s Rockhold vs. Kennedy show — possibly while I was taking a leak before the main event — Strikeforce announced thatHeavyweight Grand Prix Winner Daniel Cormier‘s final appearance for the promotion will take place on a September 29th card at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.

No opponent has been named for Cormier yet, and frankly, this speculation about a rematch with Josh Barnett has to be bullshit, right? We hope? (SAVE US, TIM.) Win or lose, Cormier is expected to transition to the UFC following the match.

As it turns out, September 29th is going to be an MMA double-header, with UFC on FUEL TV 5: Struve vs. Miocic: Seriously? also scheduled for that day in Nottingham, England. The card will be broadcast live in the afternoonfor North American fans.

this is big for the future fights in the UFC...he's a threat to the belt and everyone should be on alert!

I can't imaging this fight being worth a damn but its an important fight to get him to come over to the dark side.

posting out of Alaska this summer.

Sergei Kharitonov for his last Fight maybe?

What a pointless fight. Not like there's gonna be any HW div afterwards. Why risk him losing and lowering his stock instead of having him come in on a high note.

I reckon he'll be in that fight with big Timmy Sylvia!
