The official weigh-ins for WEC 40: “Torres vs Mizugaki” are complete for the event that is set to go off from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois, this Sunday night (April 5).
All 20 fighters set to compete on the card tipped the scales on Saturday afternoon — though not everyone escaped the event without incident.
