Daniel Cormier to make final Strikeforce appearance on September 29th, venue and location TBA
Strikeforce heavyweight grand-prix winner, Daniel Cormier will make his final appearance with the California based mixed martial arts promotion before heading to the octagon on September 29th it has been revealed tonight, although there is no word on where the event will go down in North America.
The announcement was made on the Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy broadcast earlier tonight, an event that saw the former Olympian in attendance to support his American Kickboxing Academy team mate and middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold.
Cormier stepped in for the UFC bound Alistair Overeem at the semi-finals stage of the tournament last year, knocking out Antonio “Big Foot” Silva in the process. He met former UFC champion, Josh Barnett in the final and pulled off an impressive unanimous decision win on the night.
