Thats not true. The UFC made every SF fighter sign a Zuffa contract once the Strikeforce deal was signed. The reason Dana is playing nice with Showtime is because Strikeforce has a deal with Showtime until Feb 2012. Showtime could potentially sue Zuffa for Breach of Contract if he either gutted SF's roster and added those fighters to the UFC or if Dana failed to promote or hold SF events. None of the deals (Not Diaz, Melendez, Overeem) were with Showtime. The only exception is the Fedor deal.
