The final Strikeforce show takes place this Saturday night, which you can see—starting with the preliminary portion of the card—at 8 p.m. ET on Showtime Extreme. The main card starts at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime.
The most talked-about fight on the card sees Strikeforce Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier take on Dion Staring in heavyweight action. Cormier was originally supposed to face former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir in November, but Mir had to bow out with a knee injury.
The November show was cancelled and Strikeforce announced they were going to do a final show, which airs on Saturday. Notable heavyweights like Matt Mitrione and Cheick Kongo turned down the chance to fight Cormier. The only one to accept was Dion Staring.
Staring, who is a native of the Netherlands, has a career record of 28-7 with 14 wins by way of knockout or TKO.
Let’s break down the fight, see who has the advantages and predict who will win.
