With UFC to announce that strikeforce will be around for at least 2 more years, should UFC Send Lightweights Gray Maynard & Kenny Florian to fight Gilbert Melendez, i personally think Melendez will not be going to UFC anytime soon, Strikeforce will need a Marquee name to market and Melendez is the Best fighter left on the roster to market around,Should Melendez take care of Masvidal on Dec,17, there will be no one left their current roster to challenge Melendez hence bringing Gray Maynard & perhaps Kenny Florian to fight Melendez, since both fighters have to go to the end of the line for Title shots does this make sense for them.....Your thoughts everyone!
Kenny would likely retire before taking a demotion. Not a bad idea for Maynard though. 
Honestly I think they should use strikeforce as a weekly program to replace TUF.
Send the fringe UFC fighters to sf. And send the UFC ready fighters to the UFC.
Use strikeforce as the UFC farm league
When a fighter loses his 3 in a row, instead of cutting him send him to sf to get his act together.
You can then have their championship fights on the UFC prelims as a reward for being almost ready.
Could have a 1 hour show each week
This would all stop the watered down product we have been seeing more and more of as this year had progressed.
I think they will make Strikeforce more of a B league for men, and a place for top tier women to get paid. I can't imagine they would leave Melendez there too long after the Masvidal fight.

This. Although masvidal should get a shot in the ufc win or lose to Melendez. He's a good fighter c
If Melendez does get past Masvidal and ufc brings him along, he would face the winner of Edgar & Henderson but if they don't plan on bringing him would, Cerrone & Diaz be a #1 Contenders Eliminator fight or would Cerrone only be assured a title fight if he would,seeing as Diaz is only 2-2 in his last 4 fights!

That would be my ideal on how to use the org. and if they kept with the Strikeforce theme of matching styles that compliment or at least are "proving ground" style fights then it would keep it viable and entertaining and we wouldn't see some of the worthwhile fighters get cut just because of a string of losses.
if they are keeping Gil in SF, i would love to see maynard vs gil
