Dana confirmed last week that they were going to do this.
But according to this link, the UFC is going to counter CBS's Strikeforce event on April 17 with a Fight Night headlined by Chuck Liddell vs Rich Franklin.
Good luck with that. Even without Fedor (M-1 has already had a contract dispute with Strikeforce), CBS's card is stacked with Dan Henderson vs Jake Shields headlining. I'll be at a bar watching both, so it won't matter. But if I had to pick, I'm watching CBS.
It also goes on to say that Chuck and Tito won't be fighting and that Tito's future is in jeopardy.

he got real sick. He is on the comeback road though. The water buffalo of death, will not be denied.

That's disappointing to hear
-
Cant say nobody saw that one coming.
Jake Shields vs Hendo is something id like to see. -
Mousasi is also fighting that night (against an undefeated opponent). And their 155 champ is fighting Aoki (the DREAM champ).

Im excited for mousasi. Even though im not as high on him as many other people are, I think he is VERY good and would be great in UFC.
[edit]
Just realized he is fighting King Mo!
Now its a MUST see card. -
Don't hold your breath on Mousasi.
He makes more money in Strikeforce and has no intention of going to the UFC anytime soon. -
Apparently they've agreed to it.
But Dana says it's going to be Randy vs Franklin.
