Great Upcoming UFC fights in 2013

Fights to look forward to for the rest of 2013 in the UFC:

Rory MacDonald vs Jake Ellenberger
July 27, 2013, at UFC on Fox 8

Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger are two of the most dynamic fighters in the UFC's welterweight division. This fight could go a variety of different ways, but none of them boring. The winner will likely get a title shot next, but if Rory MacDonald wins and Georges St-Pierre defeats Johny Hendricks at UFC 167, then it will be an awkward situation because the two teammates aren't interested in fighting one another but will be ranked #1 and #2 at 170.

Jose Aldo vs Chan Sung Jung (Korean Zombie)
August 3, 2013 at UFC 163

The Korean Zombie heads into hostile territory of Brazil to take on Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title. Both are very fast fighters and the edge goes to Jose Aldo in striking, but the ground game and cardio are in the favor of Chan Sung Jung. If the Korean Zombie can take the fight into the later rounds he may gain an edge in the battle.

Benson Henderson vs Anthony Pettis
August 31, 2013 at UFC 164

This rematch between Ben Henderson and Anthony "Showtime" Pettis takes place because Canadian T.J. Grant injured himself in training for Henderson and is now forced out of his title shot. Both Ben Henderson and Anthony Pettis fought in a very entertaining battle at the end of 2010 for the WEC lightweight title, and now the two WEC turned UFC stars will fight for the UFC strap to wrap up the UFC's summer of 2013 in Milwaukee, which means it will be a home-cage advantage for Showtime Pettis.

Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson
September 21, 2013 at UFC 165
 
Jon Jones is trying to break Tito Ortiz's record for the most title defenses of the UFC light-heavyweight belt with six. But Alexander Gustafsson is trying to win the belt in Toronto and bring that puppy home to Sweden.

Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos
October 19 at UFC 166

Houston, Texas will showcase this UFC heavyweight title trilogy between the top two heavyweights in mixed marital arts: Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos. JDS and Cain have wins over one another and this third fight could go either way.

Georges St-Pierre vs Johny Hendricks
November 16, 2013 at UFC 167
Georges St-Pierre's biggest challenge to date is the heavy-left handed and former NCAA champion wrestler Johny Hendricks. A new champion could be crowned in Las Vegas in November, or GSP will score his ninth title defense, an amazing feat indeed.

Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate
December 28, 2013 at UFC 168

Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate do not like one another so that makes this fight rather interesting. But if Miesha Tate can stop the armbar of Rousey, then this fight becomes very interesting.

Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva

Could possibly take place at the end of 2013, if not then early 2014. Chris Weidman pulled off a huge upset, not by winning the fight against Anderson at UFC 162, but by scoring a knockout against Silva. The first knockout in the career of Anderson Silva and The Spider's first loss in the UFC.
