UFC on FOX 7 are unul dintre cele mai bune carduri din ultimele luni, si e greu de crezut ca nu se va ridica la inaltimea asteptarilor. Benson Henderson isi apara din nou centura la un show FOX, in fata lui Gilbert Melendez – ultimul campion Strikeforce lightweight. In co-main-event, castigatorul Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix se bate cu un fost campion UFC: Daniel Cormier vs. Frank Mir. Josh Thomson continua rivalitatea cu Melendez, chiar daca nu direct: “The Punk” se bate cu coechipierul acestuia, Nate Diaz, intr-un meci al ultimilor doi challengeri la centurile lightweight. Main cardul e deschis de tanara senzatie Jordan Mein si Matt Brown, care a avut o revenire spectaculoasa anul trecut, cu 4 victorii. Meciurile tip UFC vs. Strikeforce continua si in preliminary card, 8 din totalul de 12 avand aceasta tema.
