Weigh-ins for “WEC 36: Faber vs. Brown” took place today at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., the same venue that hosts tomorrow’s Versus-televised event.
The event, originally scheduled for Sept. 10 but postponed due to Hurricane Ike, features two title fights.
Urijah Faber defends his featherweight title against Mike Brown, and WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho meets Chael Sonnen in a rematch from their 2007 bout.
Two of the title-fight participants failed to make weight on the first attempt. Filho was an eyebrow-raising seven pounds over the 185-pound limit, and like featherweight challenger Brown (who was a half-pound over the 145-pound limit), will have two hours to cut the weight.
The full results included:

Champ Urijah Faber (144.5) vs. Mike Brown (145.5)*
