World Extreme Cagefighting on Monday, via its official Twitter account, confirmed its previously reported Jan. 10 event at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
WEC 46 will feature Urijah Faber’s return bout against fellow featherweight contender Raphael Assuncao, as reported by MMAWeekly.com on Thursday. The promotion confirmed that a highly anticipated lightweight title unification bout between champion Jamie Varner (16-2) and interim titleholder Ben Henderson (10-1) would headline the event.
The lightweight unification bout was hoped for WEC 45 on Dec. 19 in Las Vegas, but there was no way Henderson, who was a little banged up after winning the interim designation on Oct. 10, would be ready in time. A fight between Donald Cerrone and Ed Ratcliff is the main event of that card.
