Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 919th

Fight Pass prelims starts at 315pm ET, followed by more prelims on FOX Sports 1 at 5pm and the main card at 7pm. 

Lots of relative unknowns on this card, but some nice match-ups capped off by an interesting main event. 

Will Bisping's right eye work? Is Cote all done? How long will Akira last?

Half of the 26 UFC fights going down this week kick off Wednesday night.

I had De La Torre but got scared and changed before the picks lock. He is younger and looks hungry, beat some good names

A Bocek fan is angry at us for doubting him. Glad we switched, Torre's striking is ugly

This was the fight I was looking the least forward to, but damn what a first round. That Mike kid is not just a pushover.

The betting value on Mike is already looking pretty good.

1st truly competitive round of the night. De La Torre doing well but Crouch is almost as annoying as Greg Jackson with his pseudo-coaching/running commentary designed to influence the judges.

He gets right up. Bocek usually is able to hold his opponent down

I'll be picking De La Torre vs any 155'er in the bottom half of the UFC. 

He's looking pretty good.

If Bocek can survive the 3rd he should be fine.

@cal, I'm afraid this is starting to look like that time we both pussied out of picking Steve Carl vs. Burkman (I think it was that fight) ;)

I sense a karmic BS Split for Bocek in retribution against Crouch for all them Bendo robberies.
