DREAM wants Melendez for NYE fight, may delay "JZ" vs. Thomson winner

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker today confirmed that the winner of a pending bout between Josh Thomson and Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante is expected to get a fight with lightweight champion Glbert Melendez.

However, that winner may have to wait until next year for a crack at the belt.

Melendez, Coker said, may be bound for Japan.
