I've just gotten into watching MMA and I've watched UFC ~115-present and I still don't know a lot of names. This looks like a nice card though.

Henderson > Edgar (Henderson will either smother Edgar to win via UD or win by sub in later rounds, or Edgar will be too fast and get a UD in later rounds. I think Henderson is prepared for "Speedy Gonzalez".)
Rampage > Bader (Always bet on black.)
Kongo > Hunt (I'm worried that Hunt might land one of his wild haymakers that could connect and finish Kongo. If Kongo plays it smart with fighting from a distance and picking up and scooping Hunt to the ground when he tries to get inside, he can win like that. I don't think we'll see a Kongo vs. Barry style match.)
Shields > Akiyama (Shields chin has been tested, but Akiyama isn't UFC material, and he's been fed to the wolves in his last 3 UFC fights.)
Boetsch > Okami (Boetsch is probably the underdog in this fight on paper, but since he moved down to 185 he's shown to have superior strength over his opponents, and he can take punishment to the head.)
Palaszewski > Hioki (If Bart connects with a jab, it's over. Hioki was hyped up in his first UFC fight like all other Japanese fighters, but his fight was the most disgusting display I saw last year from a hyped fighter.)
Pettis > Lauzon (Pettis is better than Lauzon in every area, some might say Lauzon has the BJJ advantage, but Pettis is good with BJJ as well. If Lauzon cant finish Pettis within 2 minutes, it's over.)
Gomi > Mitsuoka
Yamamoto > Lee (Last chance for Yamamoto, I think he'll be hungry and powered up by his local fans, at least I hope.)
Fukuda > Cantwell
Mizugaki > Cariaso
Tiequan > Tamura

Jesus is going to rig the fight to make Bendo lose.
Fuck Frankie, Bendo has Jesus aka Tebow aka Linsanity on his side.
Do you even know what DK stands for?

Don't forget, Bendo is half Korean, so he'll have the judges on his side considering the fight is taking place in Asia. Or does that only work for Japanese fighters?

Fight won't be close enough for Bendo to get a robbery.
Prime Sherk or Gray Maynard 2x, both way better wrestlers than Bendo, couldn't take down Edgar. Penn got him down into full mount and Frankie got right back up in about 5 seconds. That's crazy.
Bendo couldn't take down Jamie Varner for 3 rounds and had a hell of time getting down Pettis. He's definitely improved since then but I highly doubt enough to take down and control Edgar consistently.
Meanwhile Guida, Jim Miller, Pettis, Shane Roller, my sister and my pet rabbit have all dropped Bendo with punches. None of whom are half the striker Edgar is.
The surprise van is coming to give Bendo a ride and it won't be taking him to church. He's gonna get haped.

During Joe Rogan's podcast today, he said that Alex Caceres was kicked in the head hard in the 1st round in yesterday's match, and he didn't believe it when he asked his corner what round it was and they told him that was the 3rd round. Rogan thinks Alex was fighting rounds 2 and 3 on instinct. I haven't found an interview with Caceres yet, since he lost the fight by split decision.
The reason why this was brought up on the podcast was cuz they were having a discussion on concussions.
I have no idea about this fight, I'm having a hard time figuring out how they match up, but it's the first fight with Frankie that I'm really looking forward too. I think it can be really good. I think Edgar probably takes it though.
I'm guessing Gomi and Kid got easy fights so that the home crowd will be hyped for the main card. Fukuda isn't very good but Cantwell has looked like shit lately. Don't know much about the rest of the fights but I'll go with Mizugaki and Tiequan.

God will abandon Bendo when it matters, just like he did with Tebow.

Hampage got wrestle fucked by Shad. That's about it though. And Shad is one of the very best MMA wrasslers at LHW these days.
That said Baders MMA wrestling is pretty average and it's highly unlikely he can wrestle fuck Hampage. Plus Shad beat Hampage with great level changes and speed in his takedowns, meanwhile Bader is a strength wrestler which is exactly where Hampage excels in his TDD.
I got Hampage as the favorite, but honestly wouldn't be that surprised if Bader beats him with a mixture of striking and clinch work. Hampage is super one dimensional these days and incredibly easy to game plan against and doesn't fight with any type of fire and generally seems unmotivated. So while Hampage is more skilled, Bader can easily win by just being a lot less retarded than Hampage.
Also....
Hampage.
