Despite calculated career path, Strikeforce's Daniel Cormier ready as tourney reserve

It's hard not to see big things on Daniel Cormier's horizon.

The two-time U.S. Olympian and decorated amateur wrestler beat down onetime UFC heavyweight title challenger Jeff Monson this past Saturday at "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum" for a win as an alternate in the promotion's heavyweight grand prix.

Whether he gets to fight in the tournament or not, Cormier is approaching a stage in his career in which the competition gets stiffer and the pressure intensifies.
