The promotion announced the news on Friday, confirming that all six preliminary contests would stream on the website prior to the televised main draw. The action kicks off on Facebook at 6:30 p.m. ET, while the Spike TV broadcast begins at 9 p.m. ET, delayed on the west coast.

Headlined by a welterweight clash between Season 13 finalists Ramsey Nijem and Tony Ferguson, the live finale goes down Saturday from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The event will also contain a pivotal lightweight attraction, as the scrappy Clay Guida squares off the WEC's final lightweight champion in Anthony Pettis.

The Facebook stream will feature an intriguing lightweight scrap of its own, as Danny Downes meets Jeremy Stephens. A pair of bantamweight attractions will also be streamed live, as former WEC title challenger Scott Jorgensen meets Ken Stone and Reuben Duran locks horns with Francisco Rivera.

Additionally, a talent-filled featherweight tilt between George Roop and Josh Grispi will also be featured, as will two welterweight bouts: Clay Harvison vs. Justin Edwards and Shamar Bailey vs. Ryan McGillivray.
