The final foursome in the Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix are now officially set to scrap on Showtime come Saturday night! The quartet of competitors checked in on the scale earlier today with making weight essentially a foregone conclusion and did so without a hitch, as did the remaining athletes on the card, meaning tomorrow evening’s show will go on as expected.
Undefeated, ever-improving grappler Daniel Cormier was the smallest of the bunch at 247 pounds and will actually fight the tournament’s largest remaining athlete, Antonio Silva, who was 264.5 pounds respectively.
