It was probably just an effort to make Daniel Cormier feel like he was part of the gang, but it's interesting to see the belt being offered up as the prize for the winner of Strikeforce's heavyweight Grand Prix.
Notice anyone's name missing? That's right, the pre-tourney favorite and first round winner, Alistair Overeem is missing from the ledger of the original eight combatants. No big deal, right?
Most fans won't blink an eye because Overeem's short-lived exile is over and Zuffa delivered a bigger fight for "The Reem" than we could've ever imagined against Brock Lesnar on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas.
With the Strikeforce tourney semis just days away, who winds up with this hardware? Can Cormier pull the major upset or is it Josh Barnett's to lose?
