Nov-4-2008

Below are the official weigh-in results for tonight's WEC: Faber vs Brown card at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. The card will air live on VERSUS at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.

In the main event, Urijah Faber will defend his featherweight crown against Mike Brown.  In what was supposed to be the final WEC middleweight title fight, champion Paulo Filho instead came in overweight for his rematch against Chael Sonnen.  After a second weigh-in attempt saw Filho still come in four pounds over the 185 pound limit, the bout was relegated to a three round non-title affair.
