This past weekend Strikeforce heavyweight-grand-prix champion Daniel Cormier signed a new contract that paves his way to the UFC.
Now, Cormier (10-0 MMA, 7-0 SF) just has to beat Dion Staring (28-7 MMA, 0-0 SF) at Strikeforce’s final event, which takes place Jan. 12 on his alma mater’s home turf.
If Cormier is successful, which is widely expected to be the case, he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that he’d like to fight Frank Mir inside the UFC octagon in April.
Cormier, who said his new deal is a “shorter contract,” recently received a text message from a friend alerting him to a respectful callout from Mir on FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight.”
