UFC on FOX 10 weigh-ins set for Jan. 24 at Chicago Theatre

Weigh-ins for this month’s UFC on FOX 10 event take place Friday, Jan. 24, at Chicago Theatre in the nation’s third largest city.

Chicago then plays host to the UFC at United Center the next day for a card that features former lightweight champion Benson Henderson against former Strikeforce champ Josh Thomson, plus a heavyweight tussle between former title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga and Midwesterner Stipe Miocic.

Fans are invited to the weigh-in ceremony, which is free and open to the public. Doors open to the public at 3 p.m. CT local time, and the first fighter hits the scale at 4 p.m. CT. Prior to the fighter weigh-ins, UFC Fight Club members can take part in a Q&A session at 2 p.m. CT. Doors for that event, which will feature a UFC fighter still to be determined, open at 1:30 p.m. CT.

Chicago Theatre, a nearly 100-year-old institution on the city’s historic State Street, has hosted UFC weigh-in events each of the three previous times the promotion has visited Chicago for UFC 90, UFC on FOX 2 and UFC on FOX 6.

As usual, MMAjunkie will be on scene with complete UFC on FOX 10 coverage. We’ll also provide a live stream of the fighter weigh-ins.

UFC on FOX 10 will be the UFC’s third straight January event in Chicago on the FOX network. In 2012, UFC on FOX 2 featured a light heavyweight title eliminator between Rashad Evans and Phil Davis. And UFC on FOX 6 in 2013 featured a flyweight title fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Dodson.
