    Most of the strikeforce heavyweight in the tournament will be joining the ufc soon.

    Overeem is already in and will fight brock lesnar

    Fabricio Werdum came next, and he’ll take on Roy Nelson at UFC 143
    Antonio Silva is expecting a call soon, and Sergei Kharitonov would like to join his training partner John Olav Einemo in the UFC.

    Once Daniel Cormier and Josh Barnett finish up the afterthought-ish grand prix in March, one or each will make their way to the UFC

    Dos Santos is gonna have a lot of upcoming challengers. :happy

    I would actually like to see kharitonov vs Shane Carwin that will be a bad ass striking match up.

    Mir vs Werdum should be an awesome match up too
    silva or barnett vs velazquez
    Brock vs cormier

    I actually think Carwin would pull out a victory here.

    I doubt Werdum would wanna pull that guard **** vs Mir.

    Great news. I haven't seen any of these guys fight except Werdum, so I'm looking forward to seeing a fresh crop of good talent all looking to make a statement. :good
