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.

Oh well, I guess this ain't gonna happen



Great fight though ... I thought Camozzi was going to be way too slow for Larkin, but he's a tough dude

Did anyone else think Camozzi was going to try and grind Larkin out, or was it just me? 
Honestly didn't think he was going to try and strike with Lorenz

Camozzi should at least shoot for a takedown. He's getting beat up on the feet so might as well try his luck on the ground.

Camozzi can take a punch. Those elbows Larkin has been landing are brutal.

Don't see how a judge saw a round for Camozzi. But yeah, it was a great fight.

Camozzi has nothing to be ashamed of due to the beating that kid took. He should've shot for a takedown though and I have no idea why his corner didn't advise him to.
