After semifinal win, Strikeforce's Josh Barnett campaigns for shot at regular title

CINCINNATI - Alistair Overeem is gone from Strikeforce and part of the UFC, and his heavyweight title now sits vacant.

In the meantime, Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier will fight in early 2012 for a heavyweight-grand-prix championship belt.

But following his main-event victory over Sergei Kharitonov at Saturday's "Strikeforce World Grand Prix: Barnett vs. Kharitonov" event, Barnett publicly stated his case for the tourney winner getting the regular title.
