What do you guys think his chances are of winning the Strikeforce GP?

I think if he gets past Bigfoot he wins the entire tournament...Silva's size is an incredible advantage at 6'4" 265 lbs to Cormier 5'9.5" 240 lbs

i'd say he has a pretty decent shot, silva is gonna be tough. but so would barnett, i think if he had more experience he might even be the favorite.

I think Silva is his best matchup left, he could beat him but it won't be easy. I would favor both Sergei and Barnett over him though.

Silva has bad TDD, but the huge size difference may help nullify that or anything Cormier could do on the ground. Silva does not have that great standup either and Cormier could win if he can get inside the reach.

He's got a chance, but I think Bigfoot will out-strike him.

He's the best wrestler in the tournament so if he gets that going I think he could win pretty easily...Maybe not real exciting, but possible

I think he definatly has a chance to win but its not that good of a chance,  Most likely Cormier will get outstruck and maybe KOed

If Shane Del Rosario was available would he have gotten the shot over Cormier?

is SDR injured?

didnt realize cormier was that short plus silva has a 10in reach advantage. might be too much to overcome for his experience level

Hes good but I dont think he is good enough to get by Bigfoot. I think Bigfoot will win the whole tourney with Overeem out.

I dont think thats a definite at all.. Barnett and Kharitoniv are serious!.. Id pick both of them to beat Cormier but not Bigfoot,

oh i didnt mean it that way i meant 'most definately' as in Cormier has a chance, the  part about Cormier or Bigfoot winning was more of an opinion.
