Daniel Cormier vs Frank Mir in Strikeforce

Re: Daniel Cormier has his final Strikeforce opponent
What? I don't always have the best memory but very recently it was announced that Tim Sylvia was going to be Cormier's opponent. And I don't think it was just some random rumor or MMA site reporting it.
If not, that is great. A higher ranked guy like Mir is a much better opponent for Cormier. And while Cormier can grapple, against someone like Mir I'd think he would keep it standing.
Does that leave Barnett with Tim Sylvia? That would be okay.
Re: Daniel Cormier has his final Strikeforce opponent
I doubt this is true.
Why would a UFC legend make the crossover to the weak Strikeforce, where probably no one will be watching him fight?
Let's be serious here, no one has Showtime or talks about their abortion of shows such as Dexter, Californication, and Weeds. Strikeforce is pretty bad production wise too and has a weak talent pool.
In the UFC at least 500k watch him on Fuel, FX, FOX, or PPV.
Makes no sense to me, I'll wait until news comes out. If it does happen, it's Frank Mir by KO or submission in the first round and that's not up for debate.

I disagree with everything you said. Dexter and Californication are sweet. It's one fight, so who cares about the talent pool. Besides Shamrocks braces, the production is fine.
Fuel and FX have had horrible ratings, and look at how well Strikeforce has done when Henderson, Fedor or Diaz has been fighting. This is as easy of a sell as them. Not to mention here in Canada Strikeforce is availiable to pretty much everyone.
And first round finish? Since Mir always does so well against powerful wrestlers with heavy hands.

463k watched him fight barnett on Showtime, so Mir could help take that number higher.

Re: Daniel Cormier has his final Strikeforce opponent
Much better than Cormier vs Tim Sylvia, and props to Mir for taking this fight. I wonder if Cormier will use his wrestling to keep the fight standing or will jump on Mir's guard. Either way, Mir is gonna get KTFO.
