Although not officially suspended, co-main-event winner and grand-prix finalist Daniel Cormier also faces a likely layoff. The fighter injured his hand during his win over Silva, and he has planned to get X-rays to determine the extent of the damage. The finale of the grand prix, which is slated for early 2012, hinges on his recovery.

Please let Cormier fight in the finals, please MMA gods....

Strikeforce grand-prix finalist Daniel Cormier, in fact, did break his right hand.

At this past weekend's "Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov" event, Cormier and Strikeforce officials determined he likely broke his hand in a Sept. 10 semifinal victory over Antonio "Giant" Silva.

Cormier confirmed the break on Twitter.

"Just got done seeing [the doctor}," stated Cormier, who picked up a first-round knockout on Showtime at Cincinnati's U.S. Bank Arena. "Hand is broken (and I) will be on the shelf for a while. Still looking forward to finishing tourney."

With an expected recovery time of six to eight weeks, Cormier should be healed in time for the tourney finale, which is tentatively slated for early 2012. Cormier (9-0 MMA, 6-0 SF) meets ex-UFC champ and MMA notable Josh Barnett (31-5 MMA, 2-0 SF) in the conclusion of the eight-man tournament barring any recovery setbacks.

Cormier broke the hand while delivering a head punch to Silva.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported after the event, the grand-prix winner earns a grand-prix championship belt, but Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said the regular heavyweight title – which the UFC-bound Alistair Overeem vacated while opening a tourney slot for Cormier – won't be on the line.

I like what I hear from the guy, and improving English is nice.

Same thing with this dude, humble and respectful.
