The UFC is holding 4 events in April, and the 3rd one on the 20th is a stacked card airing live on Fox. UFC vs. Strikeforce is the prevailing theme for the main card, from Ben Henderson's title defense against Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez all the way down to the opening bout between Jordan Mein and Matt Brown. The co-main event pits former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir against Daniel Cormier, winner of the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix.
As of this writing, three fighters from UFC 158 are competing on this card as late replacements. Jordan Mein is in for Dan Hardy, Darren Elkins is in for Clay Guida, and T.J. Dillashaw replaces Francisco Rivera against Hugo Viana.
It's a great show on paper, and here's what the bout order looks like for the San Jose, CA show:
