That 2 of the heavyweights coming from strikeforce would be the 2 most threatening to the title even with such a beast of a champion?
And both have serious accolades (just in case anyone forgot)
Daniel Cormier 10-0
Undefeated
Strikeforce hw Grand Prix champ / win over Josh Barnett, Bigfoot, and Jeff Monson
Won titles in smaller orgs in his first handful of fights
Freestyle wrestling medalist and has shown good translation into his mma game as well as an impressive striking game
Prolly the best hw to come from strikeforce the only thing is is his battle worn body and age but otherwise a beast and definately threat to the hw or lhw titles
Alistair Overeem 36-11
Strikeforce Hw Champ
Dream Hw Champ / with win over current ufc hw Todd Duffee
K-1 Grand Prix Championship / with wins over Ben Edwards, Tyrone Spong, Gokhan Saki, and Peter Aerts all in one night
Nasty striking with an underrated submission and wrestling game a truly seasoned vet
I think he was a bigger threat to Jds than Cain but is still a very dangerous opponent for anyone on the planet
With all of the talent merging over from other weight classes as well this is going to be a very interesting year. I wonder what the rankings would look like same day next year damn!
