Daniel Cormier defeats Josh Barnett by way of unanimous decision in the main event of the Strikeforce: "Barnett vs. Cormier" fight card that took place last night (Sat., May 19, 2012) at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. The victory made Cormier the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix tournament champion, as evidence by that shiny gold belt they wrapped around his waist after enduring 25 minutes inside the cage with "The WarMaster." The belt is symbolic, really, of the star making turn we witnessed last night, as "DC" became a top contender in the heavyweight division and paved the way for a smooth transition to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), whenever that happens.
