On the other hand, he shouldn't go around calling out 205ers or critizing Jon Jones for not taking the fight with Chael, that **** just looks bad now.

@Live2Wrestle
Him vs. Cormier would be a 2:30 minute massacre at the most, but Dana needed him to step up because they've promised Strikeforce a UFC fighter for his last fight and they want that fight to be over already so they can bring Cormier to the UFC and start building on him, and Mitrione's status in the organization is that of one who should pull a Kingsbu and eat the loss so that when that day comes where he's on a 2-3 losing streak and they're deciding whether to cut him or not, he'll have that "remember the Cormier thing" card to give him some company man points.
Or even on the much much much less likely scenario where him and another guy are next in line for a title shot (heh heh, I'm laughing while I'm writing this), he'll be the one that gets the nod. *pfffffffffffffffffffffttttt* ROFL!

@Kalibo
They can't give Strikeforce a no-name (because that would just suck for them) or a relevant title contender (that would ruin said contender), that's why Mir was perfect, he's a big name but had just lost the title and kinda had to do what they asked of him because he's in a bit of a limbo state right now, so scoring company man points is a good route (I'm actually pretty sure that his "injury" isn't one that would have pulled him out of the JDS fight for instance, it was just his way to get out of the Cormier fight without pissing off the boss).
As for Mitrione, well, he's a big-ish name, been on TUF, had a long winning streak, bla bla bla ... He's no Mir, but he'd pass with Showtime execs as a relevant UFC name to make money off with Cormier's last Strikeforce fight.
Don't forget guys, this isn't "matchmaking", this is giving Strikeforce a fighter, so all of the "bad fight" and "bad matchmaking" comments, though valid and spot on, are irrelevant to the case.

The fight he's got scheduled in December with De Fries makes way more sense for him.
