According to sources with knowledge of the situation, the UFC has its sights set on April 20's UFC on FOX 7 event to pair UFC lightweight titleholder Henderson against Strikeforce's last reigning divisional champion, Gilbert Melendez.

Looks like we could see a handful of SF fighters on this card. Maybe Mir vs DC and looks like Jacare wants on the card.

Would be pretty sweet to see Gil vs Bendo and DC vs Mir. I don't know who Jacare is targeting but would be cool to see him vs Okami or something like that.

In ready for the Gil hype to die.

I was thinking Okami too. Maybe Franklin.

Okami is fighting Lombard already. Maybe Costa

Costa sucks.

How about Jacare fights luke rockhold again and proves that he was the real strikeforce champ.

Well then let Jacare prove it. He's on a big win streak and just stopped Boetsch, he's going to get a decent name

Agree a name bigger than Costa hopefully who name to game is eye poking.

Boetsch is still a bigger name at this point. Lombard maybe? Is he booked yet?

Ben Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez
Frank Mir vs. Daniel Cormier
Jacare vs.

Sounds amazing. I heard Pat Healy wants Joe Lauzon next, that would be a great fight to top off the card.

Jacare vs Munoz?

Hopefully who what? I tried using google translate to english and it still didn't make any sense.

Those lines are about right. Bendo doesn't have many holes in his game and the ones he does aren't the kind Gil is known for exploiting. I have to believe Bendo is on par with or a better grappler/wrestler than Josh Tompson. I think Bendo can take Gil down, and I also think he can strike with Gil. It may be a competitive fight but most likely we see Bendo doing his thing at Melendez' expense.

Cormier is going to feed Mir rape for dinner.

Claim to fame. Auto correct is a bitch.

Melendez is a solid SOLID bet at that rate.

Too one sided.

What is? The DC fight is one sided but Gil-Bendo is a great fight.

I think bendo has his way and wins 49-45 or 50-45ish if he doesn't finish him.

A close fight. Leaning Gil right now. I'll be shocked if he is dominated.
