After one of last year’s “fights of the year” took place at UFC 139 in San Jose, California, the UFC will be making a return appearance to the HP Pavilion on July 11th. The former home of Strikeforce will host the UFC on FUEL TV 4 event, headlined by a middleweight fight between Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman.
The biggest name left on the Strikeforce roster, Gilbert Melendez will defend his lightweight championship on May 19th but who will stand across from him is anyone’s guess. The event is supposed to take place HP Pavilion in San Jose, California and will also feature the Heavyweight Grand Prix Finale between Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier.
A fight between Herschel Walker and Scott Carson that was scrapped from Strikeforce St. Louis will now happen January 29, 2011. Scott Coker announced the fight today on the San Fransisco based radio station KNBR.
Fedor will be facing his toughest opponent in years when he steps in the cage tonight against Fabricio Werdum. This fight is big for not only the two fighters in the cage but also for Strikeforce and its future.
