Lets look ahead again, this time to UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens, live from San Antonio, Texas.

Ufc Fight Night 44 Swanson Stephens 660x330 Taking place on June 28th, UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens (technically numbered UFC Fight Night 44) is the second of two events in one day, which means there's a whole hell of a lot of UFC to choose from that day. That might be a bit of an MMA overload, so lets look ahead to the main card of UFN 44 and see who's meeting who, and what fights might be worth your while. The main event has major ramifications for the featherweight division, as with a win, the resurgent Cub Swanson could find himself next in line for a featherweight title shot, dependent on the outcome of August's Aldo vs. Mendes 2. Also at featherweight, Aldo's last victim, Ricardo Lamas, who was the last man to beat Swanson, looks to begin working his way back into contention with a fight against Hacran Dias. In the co-main event of the card, which features six bouts in total on the main portion of the show, is Kelvin Gastelum, on an impressive win streak since his defeat of the much-hyped Uriah Hall to win the TUF 17. Now it's time to break out the crystal ball and gaze into the future of MMA as we examine and predict outcomes for the six main card fights at UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens.
