Why this card matters

Cardboard Connection describes Moment of Truth (released November 30, 2011) as the first UFC set to include Strikeforce fighters. Cormier's #97 is a Strikeforce-branded card from his Grand Prix run, dated 17 months before his UFC debut at UFC on Fox 7, and it is the card TCDB flags as his rookie.
