DALLAS – Since making his professional mixed martial arts debut in
September 2009, undefeated heavyweight prospect Daniel Cormier has made it clear he’s in no rush to make it to the top.
Let my skills develop, he said. Let me take my Olympic-level wrestling talent and hone a complete skillset.
On Saturday night, the time to wait may be over. Cormier takes on
near-14-year veteran Jeff Monson at the
Showtime-broadcast “Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum” event. Win, and
Cormier transitions from prospect to contender.
