Cormier and Mir are set to collide at "UFC on Fox 7"
set for April 20, at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The fight card will be
headlined by a title clash featuring current UFC light-weight champion, Ben
Henderson, and Strikeforce champ, Gilbert Melendez.
Kevin Lole confirmed the news early today, and it's since
been verified by UFC officials.
"Ask and you
shall receive – Bendo/Melendez and Cormier/Mir official for 4/20 UFC on FOX,"
the UFC revealed.
Mir was originally scheduled to face Cormier last November,
but an injury forced him to pull out of the bout. The fight made a lot of sense back then, and
it still does now.
I can't think of a better way to welcome Cormier into the
UFC, than a fight against Mir. We'll get
to find out right away if he belongs with the big boys in the UFC's heavyweight
division (which I do).
