Comier Defeats Cole at Strikeforce Challengers 13

Daniel Cormier defeated a tough competitor in Devin Cole by unanimous decision last friday night at the Strikeforce Challengers 13 event. Cormier dominated the action from start to finish. Comier began by testing his striking landing several very hard overhand rights that would have put most opponents to sleep, but to Cole's credit he stayed in the fight. Cormier then took the action to the mat and stayed busy while maintaining top position. The final two rounds were a repeat of the first with Cormier landing punches to start the rounds and then using his wrestling to dictate that the fight would go to the ground and stayed busy with ground and pound to win each round convincingly.

With this resounding victory over the veteran Cole, Cormier will be in contention to be one of the alternates for the upcoming Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.
