Former two-time Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier (7-0) will go to battle with former UFC heavyweight title contender and Abu Dhabi submission wrestling champion Jeff "Snowman" Monson (42-11). This will be the toughest opponent yet for the Lafayette native in his skyrocketing MMA career. The fight is part of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix card this Saturday night on Showtime, and if Cormier is victorious he will continue get big named opponents and quickly gain contender status.
