Olympian Daniel Cormier sits undefeated with a perfect 12-0 file, and in 2012, the AKA member won the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix by dominating former UFC success Josh Barnett in interesting fashion. 2013 has been kind to Cormier, since the wrestler picked up a win on the ultimate Strikeforce card as well as a over Frank Mir in his UFC introduction. So why is he on our list? Cormier may have shut out Mir in April, but he hardly pleased anyone with his method of attack. All three rounds found the Strikeforce stud store Mir contrary to the stall and cage for time passed between body blows. Constantly through the bout, umpire Herb Dean restarted the practitioners in the middle of the Octagon due to not enough activity. That performance was addressed by Cormier, who told MMAjunkie.com that he was displeased with his battle. ... But man, I was nervous. I felt so nervous. It's almost like you want it so bad and you want to do so well, and then you just type of lay an egg a little bit. I did not fight the fight I wished to. Cormier's standing in the ranks has improved, but by putting on such a boring showing in the co-main function of a card that shown on national television, he hurt his marketability in a significant way.
