Varner and Bendo to unify lightweight strap at WEC 46

World Extreme Cagefighting has set a date for a lightweight title unification bout between champ Jamie Varner and interim champ Ben Henderson. It’ll headline WEC 46 on January 10.

Varner has been out of action with injuries he suffered in his split-decision victory over Donald Cerrone last January while Bendo is coming off a fight-of-the-year-caliber decision victory over Cerrone at WEC 43 last month. Also on the card is a featherweight showdown between Urijah Faber and Raphael Assuncao.
