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

Larkin has an exciting striking style
Edwards is experienced enough to be exciting no matter where the fight goes
Khabilov is a suplex machine
Smith vs. Chiesa should be an interesting grappling match
Carmouche vs. Davis ought to be a war
Bermudez was in one of the best fights of the past year against Matt Grice, maybe he can do it again

Khabilov/Masvidal and Bermudez/Siler are the two I'm looking forward to. Carmouche/Davis is gonna be a sick fight too.

Yoel Romero vs Rony Markes
Rustam Khabilov vs Jorge Masvidal
James Krause vs Bobby Greene
George Roop vs Francisco Rivera
Dennis Bermudez vs Steven Siler
These 5 fights are awesomely matched and then to a lesser extent these fights are also awesome.
Tim Kennedy vs Rafael Natal
Lorenz Larkin vs Chris Camozzi
Yancy Medeiros vs Yves Edwards
Pretty great card, really excited to see what Larkin can do I feel like Camozzi is as much of a showcase fight for him as he will ever get. I sort of feel similar with Yancy but not such extents, I'm very excited to see what LHW and MW knockout artist who's now a Lightweight training with Nick, Nate, Gil and Shields for the last couple years can really do though he looked slick vs Rustam until the mishap. Tim vs Natal is as much a showcase fight as I've ever seen in my opinion but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong I'm not hating.
Then even Liz vs Alexis will probably be a blast to watch, admittedly I am not much for WMMA yet though. Colton Smith vs Chiesa should be alright too, either Chiesa strangles him or Colton cuddles him.
