With Stee-Pay being set to fight Cormier in the summer, it is possible that Stipe will be the first and only to defeat Strikeforce's "Big 3" heavyweights.
The big three are:
Fabricio Werdum - Ended Fedor's winning streak in Strikeforce, which was a massive accomplishment at the time of the fight. Former UFC Heavyweight champion and is the only former SF fighter to win the Heavyweight belt (besides Cain). KO'd by Stipe in round 1
Alistair Overeem - First and only Strikeforce Heavyweight champion. Never lost in Strikeforce and was favorite to win the SF HW GP. KO'd by Stipe in round 1
Daniel Cormier - Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion. Also current UFC Light-Heavyweight champion. Set to fight Stipe in the summer
