This week on UFC Central.

Guest host Sarah Davis fills in for Showdown Joe Ferraro to recap all the action from UFC 163 in Brazil. We look at the event’s big winners, and what could be next for those involved. Will Jose Aldo make the move up to lightweight? And was Phil Davis’ victory a big enough statement to earn the next title shot at 205 pounds?

The UFC will close out 2013 with four big pay per view events, we take an inside look at their recent world press tour that included Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Ronda Rousey, and all four of their opponents. Find out what was said, and what encounters occurred that might surprise you.

We caught up with Georges St-Pierre when the UFC stopped in Montreal. The welterweight champ opens up about Dana White saying a bout with Rory MacDonald could happen, Anderson Silva’s loss and much more.

With 2013 flying by, and 18 UFC events having already taken place, we countdown the top five most exciting fights from the past seven months.
