Who makes it into the UFC from Strikeforce?

Yesterday it was announced that Strikeforce was closing after one grand finale in January.
Several top Strikeforce fighters including Nick Diaz had already crossed over, and over the past 24 hours both Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate announced that they had been signed.
The Strikeforce roster currently stands at 78.
