Both women are denying that they have signed anything. FWIW the headliner for this event would be Josh Barnett vs Daniel Cormier in the finals of the HGP. mmajunkie.com/news/26566/arnold-sports-festival-hosts-strikeforce-heavyweight-grand-prix-finals.mmaMultiple sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com that the eight-man tournament's finals are expected to head to Columbus, Ohio's Arnold Sports Festival 2012. The festival has previously hosted several UFC and WEC events.
That means March 3 is likely to see a heavyweight bout between Josh Barnett (31-5 MMA, 2-0 SF) and Daniel Cormier (9-0 MMA, 6-0 SF) that will determine the promotion's tournament champion. As with previous events held at the festival, Nationwide Arena is expected to host.
However, an Ohio Athletic Commission official today told MMAjunkie.com no event is officially scheduled for March 3, though multiple organization have been discussing the possibility with Arnold Sports Festival organizers. If a deal is reached, the commission would then need to approve the show. |

That was brutal! I am glad for the Rousey win because I think she is the future of women's MMA and it'll be good to have her as the new face of the sport.
