While MMAWeekly.com confirmed the Jury vs Nijem fight through sources close to the bout.
UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Melendez (aka UFC on Fox 7) is expected to take place on April 20, 2013 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. With several key bouts already on the card it’s almost certain that both bouts will appear on the prelim card.
Parke won the lightweight portion of the TUF The Smashes series last December by beating Colin Fletcher in the finale as part of the UFC on FX 6 event. It was his seventh straight pro-win.
Tuck debuted in the Octagon in November in China, winning a decision over Tiequan Zhang at the UFC on FUEL TV 6 show. It was his seventh straight win.
Jury was in action in December at UFC 155 taking on a tough opponent in Michael Johnson. ‘The Fury’ would earn his eleventh straight victory by earning a convincing eleventh straight victory at the Vegas event.
Nijem looks to make it four straight since returning to the lightweight division. All three have come since losing the TUF 13 welterweight finale, picking up his latest victory in December at UFC on FOX 5 with a decision against Joe Proctor.
