Many of the fighters faced uncertain futures after the event, but a large number of the remaining Strikeforce fighters have made the jump. Lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez, heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, middleweight champ Luke Rockhold and welterweight champ Tarec Saffiedine were all expected to move to the UFC, but they are not alone in the move. The UFC has decided to bring over a handful of exciting new contenders to their roster, which will be a treat for MMA fans.
