In some disappointing news, Frank Mir is apparently injured and out of the Daniel Cormier fight. Mir was going to be Cormier’s 3rd top 10 fight in a row. I thought Cormier was going to crush Mir without much effort but it still would have been a good win for him. I don’t know what the issue is these days but it seems like half of the scheduled fights never happen because someone always gets injured during training. What in the world are these guys doing to hurt themselves so often anyway?!
I think at this moment, most of the Heavyweights are injured, on suspension or otherwise tied up already so there are not a lot of options for Cormier. Two name guys who I think would be available and still probably have enough time to get ready are Cheick Kongo and Fabricio Werdum. Kongo would pretty much be a give me fight for Cormier but Werdum would be an amazing fight. Both guys have great stand up skills and are world class on the ground. I hope a fight like that can be put together. The other option would be to just bring Cormier over to the UFC now and let him fight Junior Dos Santos for the title. Strikeforce GP champ vs UFC Champ, that makes more sense than JDS fighting Velasquez again already.
