\nHere is the much deserved salary list for the fighters from last weeks Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The card featured the finale to the Heavyweight tournament as Daniel Cormier took on Josh Barnett in a bloody clash that left both men cut up and bruised.
\nIn the co-main event, a lightweight title fight between champion Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson in a classic rubber match that will not soon be forgotten.<\/p>\n

The top two on the pay day list were Josh Barnett at $200,000 and Gilbert Melendez at $175,000.<\/p>\n

Josh Thomson walked away with a loss and $90,000 and Daniel Cormier came home with $100,000, including a $50,000 win bonus. Winning the Grand Prix was probably more valuable to Cormier anyway as he can now be considered a legitimate heavyweight who deserves respect from all.<\/p>\n
