The Sommet Center in Nashville, Tenn., the home to the April 1 UFC Fight Night 18 event, will also play host to the event's official fighter weigh-ins.
Weigh-ins take place on Tuesday, March 31, from 4 to 6 p.m. EST (3 to 5 p.m. CST local time).
UFC Fight Night 18, which airs on Spike TV, features a main event between UFC veteran Martin Kampmann and the final WEC welterweight champion and recent UFC arrival Carlos Condit.
As always the weigh-ins are free and open to the public. The first of the night's 24 competitors will hit the scale at 5 p.m. EST.
Prior to the weigh-ins, starting at 3 p.m. EST, UFC Fight Club members are invited to a question-and-answer session with "The Ultimate Fighter 8" lightweight winner Efrain Escudero. (Go to www.ufcfightclub.com for more information.)
Given the Sommet Center's size, extremely affordable ticket options (prices start at just $20 per ticket) and a fight card bolstered with 12 bouts in all, UFC Fight Night 18 – the UFC's first-ever event in the state of Tennessee – could also draw the biggest crowd in UFC Fight Night history. That distinction is currently held by Omaha, Neb.'s UFC Fight Night 15 event (attended by 9,103 fans), followed by Fayetteville, N.C.'s UFC Fight Night 16 (an estimated 8,500, mostly military personnel), Tampa's UFC Fight Night 17 (7,596) and Broomfield, Colo.'s UFC Fight Night 13 (6,742)
The Sommet Center can accommodate more than 20,000 fans, though the UFC's exact seating configuration and capacity are not known.

MAIN CARD (Televised)
Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
