Plus his thoughts on how Strikeforce went down this year...
At a media scrum today, UFC President Dana White spoke with reporters about the future of current Strikeforce fighters and also reigning Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez who might get a lightweight title shot when he comes into the UFC depending on how things go:
White on Melendez coming in and getting a title shot: "(Melendez will) probably come right in and get a title shot. Again, we'll see."
White on the horrible year Strikeforce has had and what Strikeforce fighters have gone through: "What has happened to the fighters in Strikeforce is horrible. The way this thing went down is horrible, and they've been very patient. What's happened over there has been completely s---ty...I'm so glad it's over."
