Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Takenori Sato
Kyung Ho Kang vs. Michinori Tanaka
Johnny Case vs. Kazuki Tokudome
Maximo Blanco vs. Daniel Hooker

Main Card ain't too bad. Prelims leave a little to be desired, though. Got your names but no particularly great fights.

Rin will lose to Tate, she should have stayed in Japan.

Hunts gonna lose too...

He's 20lbs over hw limit he's gonna be drained if he's able to make weight and fight.

Unless Jessamyn Duke or Shayna Baszler is still in the UFC, I don't see Rin winning anything in this stint.

This is in fucking Japan, come on. Let them fight at open weight. Does a weight limit even really matter with these two?

Every degen I know is betting Tate heavy.

I'm gonna go against the crowd here and say that Rin Nakai is going to steamroll the UFC women's bantamweight division, including Rousey.

Hunt and Nelson are too close to call.

RIn will win because wmma is weak. Hell with these fake cracka bishes. AND SENGOKU will win...EVERYDAY

Steam rolling Tate is not hard to do. lol. Julie Kedzie did it for 2 rounds

So am I.

Between Bellator and UFC, this is one of the first occasions of late in which I've been pleased to watch hours of MMA.

I put a few dimes on Rin Nakai (at better than 3:1 odds), and on Mark Hunt (on even odds).

I think Nakai is talented enough to win, and she is underrated in the books because she's unknown to Americans and Tate is over hyped. It's still a close fight though.

I find it so weird to see so many people talking like Rin Nakai is some nobody getting a shot at Tate.  They use their ignorance as proof that Tate will win.  Even the professional journalists are calling for an easy win for Tate.  Tate is good, but getting rag dolled by Rousey for three rounds is not proof of greatness, like the promos want us to believe.  
Nakai's Judo is awesome and should beat Tate easy enough.  

Tate is good enough to beat Marloes. I don't see why people are thinking she's some bum, it's not like she's losing to people off the street.
