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.

Terrible dec form Big John...don't know what the **** he's thinking. It was so close to the cup, and after 2 low blows...how can you definitely determine it's a TKO....***?

Krause was just trying to sell it.  I know what getting hit in the cup is like and where he just got hit wasn't in any place to cause any kind of damage at all.

He tried to sell it, Big John didn't go for it, and he lost.

Dam, that was really confusing and the second Krause went down I didn't know what happened but I knew it was going to be controversial.

****** ending, but that last one was never a lowblow... it was waist line and Krause milked it.

Big John made the right calll, imo. You don't get up on a legal blow, then it's a TKO.

The side of Green's foot clearly slapped into the cup as the foot hit the waist, stop being morons.

BUT, don't fall to the ground if you get kicked in the groin you ******* idiot Krause, grab your junk let the ref know but don't fall to the canvas face first only to spring right back up when you realize you couldn't milk a disqualification or a second point taken. My god so much ******ry, this is mixed martial arts right?

John's right, this is not soccer. even if it hit a little bit, that reaction is not acceptable.
he was clearly trying to game the system and lost. good.

That right there is just bull****. You can def hear that he's hitting the cup on the third one. Krause didn't milk that one guys. Yes it his the beltline, but ALSO the cup. you hear it so clear.

The only thing that changes this dec. is that John stood right in front of him. If he hadn't seen it, it would have been a disqualify for Green. I really hope that the comission change the win to a "No contest". Why would Krause milk it right in front of the judge? And he's very much ahead after the deduction.

As they said, the area is pretty sensitive after two clear lowblows. :S Im very unsatisfied right now!!!
