BJ Penn and Jose Aldo Jr. won't fight each other, because both come from the Nova Uniao MMA & BJJ background. B.J. Penn's BJJ coach is Renato "Charuto" Verissimo (Nova Uniao) and Jose Aldo Jr.'s coach is Former UFC Fighter Andre "Dede" Pederneiras (Nova Uniao). B.J. Penn Vs. Jose Aldo Jr. is out the window
Scott Coker said "We don't want Strikeforce to be known as the promotion that signs UFC or WEC rejects." so we may or we may not see Cote and/or Gongaza there.

UK fans are happy with the UFC and WEC merger, because Majority of UK fans didn't get to see WEC. But now due to the merger, they do.
On a side note, UFC DID fly out one of there attorneys to try to get a TV deal to keep PRIDE FC around. UFC did give up after 6 weeks of trying to get a TV deal. This attorney even had moved out his whole family out to Japan to get a TV deal and they all moved back after weeks. This was confirmed by few of the former PRIDE FC employees.
