Current Barnett vs. Cormier Betting Odds – On Saturday, May 19, 2012, the latest installment of Strikeforce will air live from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. In the main event, former UFC Heavyweight Champion and widely-regarded top 10 Heavyweight Josh Barnett will square off against undefeated wrestling prodigy Daniel Cormier. Cormier has looked great so far, with very heavy hands to back up his dominant wrestling and solid submissions, but Barnett is by far the most complete and dangerous fighter he has faced. Barnett has knockout power in his hands and one of the best submission games in the world at Heavyweight, so he is capable of testing Cormier no matter where this fight goes. With Strikeforce’s Heavyweight division looking like it is on its last legs and a merger with UFC seeming inevitable, a win here is huge for both guys if they want to position themselves as top contenders.

In the semi-main event, Josh Thomson and Gilbert Melendez will face off in a definitive rubber match. The first time these two met, Thomson was victorious, but Melendez has cemented himself as Strikeforce’s top 155 pounder and arguably the best Lightweight in the world, so Thomson is going to need a career performance if he doesn’t want to get manhandled like he did in their second fight. Rounding out the card are a Light Heavyweight matchup pitting former champion Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante against Mike Kyle and a Lightweight matchupbetween Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante and Isaac Vallie-Flagg.
