A total of 20 fighters hit the scales tonight at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in preparation for tomorrow night’s WEC Championship Triple header.

The event which takes place at same venue as tonight’s weigh-ins, features a stacked card including a main event between Carlos "Natural Born Killer" Condit and Japan’s Hiromitsu Miura.

The weigh-ins went off without a hitch except for Marcus Hicks who came in one pound over the 155lb limit. Hicks had one hour to drop the extra pound and did so without any problems. Hicks will attempt to steal the belt from the current lightweight champion, Jamie Varner, in one of tomorrow night’s co-featured bouts.

The loudest ovation of the night went to the ultra popular Marine Brian Stann who recently captured the WEC light heavyweight crown when he defeated the two-time defending champ Doug "The Rhino" Marshall.
