Daniel Cormier says Strikeforce have a better roster of heavyweights than the UFC

Strikeforce heavyweight prospect, Daniel Cormier has been comparing the California based promotions roster to that of the number one ranked MMA entity in the world, the UFC, and if you ask him he likes what he sees.
Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Cormier said:

“With the injury and the time off and dare I say level of competition that (Cain Velasquez is) fighting and the guys in this tournament are fighting, it’s not a stretch to say the guy that wins this is the No. 1 heavyweight in the world. These 8 guys, when you look at these 8 guys versus the top 8 guys in the UFC, I’m thinking Strikeforce wins a lot of those fights. The majority actually.”

The wrestling sensation also commented on his own future, explaining he wouldn’t mind a facing one of the guys who’s waiting in the wings should anything happen.

“I think I’m in a position now where a lot of the things that goes on this weekend is going to determine what my next step is. Maybe a guy coming off of one of those alternate bout wins, or maybe a guy coming off one of those alternate bout losses is an opponent that fits in to what I’m doing right now in terms of the way my career’s progressed.”

“Progression is another step up, one of these guys they see fit to make an alternate in this tournament, maybe I take on a winner of one of those reserve bouts.”

“I think it’s getting to a point in my career where I’m going to have to,” Cormier said about facing the best in the heavyweight division. “You have to put out the opportunities put out in front of you. The thing is though I would be so far down the list of reserve people.”

Cormier is undefeated at 7-0 in his professional mixed martial arts career having defeated the likes of Jason Riley and Devin Cole inside the Strikeforce cage. Is someone like Ray Sefo or Valentijn Overeem in this talented wrestlers future?
