The question of whether or not Gilbert Melendez will indeed face Jorge Masvidal in Strikeforce this December was answered on Tuesday. UFC President Dana White cast doubt on the bout when he stated in interviews in the last couple of weeks that the organization was looking to bring Melendez in as soon as possible, but Strikeforce announced on Tuesday that Melendez will indeed face Masvidal on Dec. 17.
The event will take place in San Diego, Calif., and tickets for the event go on sale this Saturday.
Melendez staying in Strikeforce likely means the next title challenger for Frankie Edgar in the UFC's lightweight division will be the winner of the bout between Ben Henderson and Clay Guida at UFC on Fox 1 in November.
