Standout wrestler Daniel Cormier made the most of a big opportunity in the finals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix on May 19th. Cormier, who entered the eight-man tournament as a late replacement, defeated Josh “The Warmaster” Barnett and now vaults up the heavyweight rankings.
In women’s action this past month, Jessica “Jag” Aguilar posted her ninth win in her past ten bouts by defeating former long-time pound-for-pound queen Megumi “Mega Megu” Fujii at Bellator 69. Aguilar assumes the top spot at 115 pounds and climbs further up the pound-for-pound listings.
