The official weigh-in event for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament Final is set to take place on Friday, May 18, 2012, at the HP Pavilion Concourse in San Jose, California.
The first fighter is expected to tip the scale at 4 p.m. PT.
As usual, MMAmania.com will provide the latest coverage of the Strikeforce weigh-ins, as well as provide a detailed recap of the festivities as soon as they conclude.
Set to headline the card are tournament finalists Josh Barnett vs. Daniel Cormier, who will compete for the grand prix championship and the right to challenge one more fighter under the Strikeforce banner before the promotion eliminates the 265-pound division for good.
