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.

Masvidal has zero fight IQ.

Masvidal fights too passive. The spinning wheel kick didn't help either.

@hamdermjay

yeah i saw the whole card. I agree that fight was great. Chiesa-Smith and Siler-Bermudez were really entertaining as well though.

@ED

I like the "Harder Jay" :D was that on purpose?

Actually in the big perspective we're all a big family right? ;)

No as written I thought it was 29-28 Khabilov, but hoped for a Masvidal win. Im a fan I guess, but good job Khabilov. Wondering who's next for him, but def. a serious contender after beating Masvidal. 

Either way you have to give Masvidal credit as a serious fighter.

I'll admit im surprised that Khabilov was able to go three rounds almost the same pace as in the first round. So now we all seen that he's capable of doing that aswell. Bright future for the Tiger.

What's up with alle these Russian "freaks" ??? 

I'll guess the honor that comes in being a russian runs at highway speed through their blood ;)

Cuban athletes are amazing, pound for pound one of the most athletic nations in the world along with dagestan.

I had it 29-28 Rustam, rounds 1 and 3. The first two were close though.
