Though Daniel Cormier has one fight left on his Strikeforce contract, it’s irresponsible to make this man wait around while the company continues to cancel shows.
The last Strikeforce event to take place was on Aug. 18, and after the company cancelled its remaining fight cards in 2012, Cormier‘s eventual UFC berth is put on hold.
How fair is that to Cormier? Here’s one of the best fighters in the world that could give any man in the heavyweight division or light heavyweight division trouble just sitting on the shelf and wasting away.
Honoring a contract is noble, but if the company is unable to put on an event and find an opponent for Cormier, then he needs to jump ship to the UFC, where they will find him an opponent. A move to the UFC must happen now.
