World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) hosts a free and public weigh-in on Friday at 3 p.m. at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for the Cerrone vs. Ratcliff fight card on Saturday (watch the preview video below!). Tickets for the Saturday fight card are available online at Ticketmaster. The entire fight card (see below!) will be televised live on Versus.

WEC fighters present will include everyone scheduled for the Saturday fight card, as well as WEC stars Miguel Angel Torres, lightweight interim champ Ben Henderson and lightweight champ Jamie Varner, hosted by WEC commentator and UFC legend Frank Mir for a UFC Fight Club Q & A immediately after the weigh in.

Both events will also be streamed live on wec.tv at 4pm PT / 7pm ET / midnight GMTonline.

In addition, Benavidez and Jorgensen will sign autographs from 5-6 p.m. at the No Fear store inside the Meadows Mall in Las Vegas on Thursday, Dec. 17.
“One of my favorite aspects of this sport is interacting with the fans,” Benavidez said. “Scott and I are happy that No Fear has invited us to their store during a busy time of year to meet the fans and take part in a fun night out.”

Benavidez, a versatile fighter from Sacramento, Calif., will be taking on jiu jitsu ace Rani Yahya. Meanwhile, Jorgensen, a rugged wrestler from Boise, Idaho, meets feared Japanese star Takeya Mizugaki. Both fights will be televised live on Versus.
