*Why is the Cormier vs Staring fight a non title fight? Was that not the point of the 'plus one' fight.. To legitimize the HW belt and have the champ defend it atleast once before closing up shop? |
Cormier wasn't given the HW title when he won the Grand Prix. He was given a separate belt for that, but it wasn't the actual Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion. AO was the first, last, and only Heavyweight Champion.
