The link in his tweet goes to the official Showtime Sports page for the card. And sure enough, the fight is now listed there. Cormier, a former Olympic wrestler who is undefeated in MMA at 7-0, last competed on a Strikeforce Challengers card in January where he picked up a decision win over Devin Cole. His matchup with Del Rosario was viewed as a fight between Strikeforce's two top prospects at HW, but now he faces a man that has fought seemingly everywhere. Except Strikeforce.
Monson is a long-time veteran of the sport who is on an eight-fight winning streak who will be making his long-awaited Strikeforce debut against Cormier. He was scheduled to take on BE's # 8 heavyweight prospect and Latvian monster Konstantin Gluhov on a 100% Fight card in Paris on May 28th, but it is unknown whether he will be able to keep that booking or not at this point.
