Champions Rockhold, Cormier, Saffiedine, and Melendez move to UFC

Great to see all the champions going to the UFC came from the Strikeforce Challengers show

 

Tarec vs kampmann pls

 

Lets see Melendez fight Varner
Rockhold fight costa
Cormier fight rothwell
Tarec fight hardy/mills

 

i've been calling for saffedeine-pettis since i first saw tarec fight. that seems like a good matchup to me.

 

Pettis is a lw! Saff is a ww!

 

I wonder how dumb he feels.

 

lllooooollllll.... some people's children..

 

Yeah. Ive been Calling for overeem vs mighty mouse

Fingers crossed

 

Ask him!

 

If they need a bout before fighting current champs, I'd enjoy the following:

Rockhold vs Lombard/Okami winner
Cormier vs Mir or Hunt
Tarec vs Kampmann, or even Condit/Rory winner, GSP/Diaz loser would be awesome (still want Nate back in the the UFC)

Melendez, however, should be put directly against Henderson while 155 sorts itself out again.

 

Man, I agree and like everything about this post. Rockhold vs Lombard would be thrilling, I'd like to see Cormier vs Mir immediately, or Barnett vs Mir. I also agree with Melendez, although it would be awesome to finally see him and Alvarez fight if they sign Eddie.

 

Melendez vs Maynard

Tarec vs McDonald-Condit winner

Rockhold vs Weidman

 

Everyone tweet dana white!

 

Has Josh Barnett moved to UFC as well?

 

maybe I'm not hardcore enough...
but Saffiedine isn't even ON the main card worthy so his punches looks so bad no gastank.. oh wait he can kick:icon_twis

 

Huh?

You do realize, of those fighters you mentioned, only Cormier and Melendez have been told they're coming over. Dana tweeted he thought Tarec's leg kicks were brutal last night, but other than that he's never once mentioned he's coming over. Tarec himself has said he's never been offered a contract or heard about anything about coming over. Dana also has said he's never seen Rockhold fight or heard of him, so who knows what's happening with him too

Does that mean all of those champs aren't coming over? Who knows. People need to understand that Strikeforce IS NOT BEING MERGED WITH THE UFC. The WEC was merged with the UFC, Strikeforce was closed down. The fighters that the UFC wants have been offered contracts/given fights/told they're coming over. Everybody else are in limbo. Want prove that that they're not being merged? There's 2 female fighters in the UFC. 2 fighters, out of a division full of fighters came over. There was what, 10 fighters on last night's card? So that's 10 fighters out of a whole organization of fighters who were still waiting on knowing whether they were coming over or not. The rest would know by now and would have been offered fights. They weren't. The UFC is taking who they want, they're not merging so not everybody's going to make the cut. I think the champs are safe, but you never know

 

I don't really view Cormier as a SF HW champion.

He won the GP, but he's not the SF HW Champ.

As weird and confusing as that is...it's true.

 

I think the UFC will be quite interesting this year indeed.

 

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
