Dana confirmed last week that they were going to do this. But according to this link, the UFC is going to counter CBS's Strikeforce event on April 17 with a Fight Night headlined by Chuck Liddell vs Rich Franklin. Good luck with that. Even without Fedor (M-1 has already had a contract dispute with Strikeforce), CBS's card is stacked with Dan Henderson vs Jake Shields headlining. I'll be at a bar watching both, so it won't matter. But if I had to pick, I'm watching CBS. It also goes on to say that Chuck and Tito won't be fighting and that Tito's future is in jeopardy. http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=4113
I dont follow UFC much. What happened to Brock Lesner? I watched him whoop some guys ***... and then he disappeared?
Mousasi is also fighting that night (against an undefeated opponent). And their 155 champ is fighting Aoki (the DREAM champ). Quality card.
Im excited for mousasi. Even though im not as high on him as many other people are, I think he is VERY good and would be great in UFC. [edit] Just realized he is fighting King Mo! Now its a MUST see card.
Liddel Franklin will NOT fight on the UFC card. They will fight @ UFC 115. I will watch the UFC card and record Strikeforce
Don't hold your breath on Mousasi. He makes more money in Strikeforce and has no intention of going to the UFC anytime soon.
Apparently they've agreed to it. But Dana says it's going to be Randy vs Franklin. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Liddell-Franklin-Slated-White-Issues-Denial-23199
