5. Daniel Cormier
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLws_jC48E4 Pat Miletich made the call on a recent episode of Beatdown on the Sherdog Radio Network and he was steadfast in his belief. Daniel Cormier would take the Light-Heavyweight title if he dropped to 205lbs. The statement got instant attention, not least because that belt was held by the best fighter in the World today, Jon Jones. The former Olympic wrestler has amazed everyone connected with the sport with how quickly he has adapted to Mixed Martial Arts. Just ten fights into his professional career he has already proven to be the most talented Heavyweight outside of the UFC. His boxing is heavy and ever improving and sets up solid transitions into his real strength. Cormiers wrestling would cause problems for anyone in the World whether it be at Heavyweight or Light-Heavyweight, the sooner hes moved from Strikeforce to the UFC the better.
