Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier are set to square off in a five-round, non-title bout this Saturday at the HP Pavilion in San Jose in the main event of the organization's 40th show career.

The event will also feature a lightweight title bout between Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson. Melendez is defending his championship. 

The Barnett-Cormier winner won't immediately become the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, which was vacated when Alistair Overeem shift to the UFC. But on a pre-fight conference call last week, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said that the winner will get a ‘nice belt’ for his troubles.

Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier  is Saturday May 19, 2012 at the  HP Pavilion at San Jose ,  San Jose, California and is broadcast in the USA on  Showtime and Primetime Sky in the UK
