Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 620 Points   |   Tied for 260th

Prelims stream live on Facebook and Youtube at approximately 3:15pm ET. Prelims switch over to FS1 at 5pm and the main card starts at 7pm. 

It certainly isn't the strongest effort the UFC has put forth in recent months, but hey, it's free. What else would you be doing on a Wednesday night?

Keep in mind that this event obviously counts toward the Autumn 2013 UFC Predictions Competition. Winner nets $500. 13 bouts on this one.

I know Rogan's complaining about the stoppage, but she wasn't trying to control posture, she had stopped bucking her hips, and she was starting to turn away from Nunes. It's the same thing Herb Dean said about the JDS/Cain fight. He stopped it in the 5th because JDS just went straight to covering up and didn't try to face Cain to fight back whereas the rest of the fight JDS had kept turning to Cain to keep fighting back. She didn't do anything different after Herb started warning her, so......only person to blame for the stoppage is Germaine.

I'm of the opinion that the fight was over. Also, Germaine didn't protest, so she knew she was getting her **** pushed in.

Pulling for a Bermudez beatdown, but Siler surprised the hell outta me when he tko'd Mike Brown.

Wonder if Ref's are a bit edgy about stoppages after all the controversy after JDS vs Cain 3.

Siler loses by knockout  A LOT, Bermudez wins by decision A LOT. I wasn't sure if I should of picked Bermudez by decision or knockout, changed last minute to decision. Close fight though,

This is looking like it'll be the second fight where I pick a guy because of a size advantage and end up with nothing.
