The official weigh-in event for UFC on Versus 1: "Vera vs. Jones" is set to take place at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado on Friday, March 20, 2010.

It is currently scheduled to air LIVE right here on MMAmania.com, as well as on several other online destinations, via streaming video. The first fighter is expected to tip the scale at 6 p.m. ET.

As usual, MMAmania.com will provide the latest coverage of the UFC on Versus weigh-ins, as well as provide a detailed recap of the festivities as soon as they conclude.

"Vera vs. Jones" is set to feature a fantastic main event between dynamic light heavyweight strikers Brandon "The Truth" Vera and Jon "Bones" Jones in a 205-pound clash that could be Jones' coming out party -- if he manages to finish the former heavyweight.

A win may even have him in the running for the next light heavyweight title shot.

Also looking to bully their way into title contention is surging heavyweight prospect Junior "Cigano" dos Santos, as he looks to pass what could be his final test against fellow Brazilian Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga.
