First, Big Country would eat meathead alive.
Second, Nelson-Mitrione winner won't even be in top 10. He has nothing to do with either contender fight or Cormier.
Third - with two fights per year regime (no top hw fights 3 times, if I remember my statistics) Cormier can wait for:
- Overeem, if he loses to Bigfoot and so loses his title shot
- Werdum-Nog winner
- Struve-Hunt winner
- Mir, if he recovers from his injury
By mid-13 ther will be enough top guys to make Daniel a good first contender fight and make him ready for title fight by late 2013.
