It's not clear if Saffiedine vs. Smith will be part of the televised lineup, but both competitors' recent fights have been broadcast.
Saffiedine had climbed into welterweight title contention with a three-fight win streak that included Strikeforce victories over James Terry and Nate Moore and a Shark Fights win over UFC vet Brock Larson.
