The fighters have weighed in and the stage is set for a fantastic night of fights at WEC 50.

Champion Dominick Cruz defends his 135lbs title in a rematch with Alpha Male Joseph Benavidez. Both champion and challenger made the weight comfortably, tipping the scales at 134lbs. Benavidez noted that he was looking to "dominate" en route to taking the title, whilst Cruz offered that he was aware of his adversary's weakenesses and intended to exploit them once again.

The weigh-ins ran smoothly enough, with only Zack Micklewright having a slight hitch and losing the undergarments in order to make 156lbs.

In what could be a title eliminator, Scott Jorgensen and Brad Pickett made 135lbs and 136lbs respectively.

Dominick Cruz (134) vs Joseph Benavidez (134)
