UFC 108 autograph session includes Georges St. Pierre, Rich Franklin, Minotauro Nogueira and Roy Nelson on Jan. 1

UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" is right around the corner, taking place this weekend (Sat., Jan. 2, 2010) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

In addition to the pay-per-view (PPV) fight card, those fans fortunate enough to be in "Sin City" this weekend can take advantage of a bevvy of event-related activities outside the Octagon, including the weigh in hoopla and a star-studded autograph session.

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, as well as former champions Rich Franklin and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, as well as The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 winner, Roy Nelson, will be at the MGM Grand Garden Arena concourse, signing their signatures for fans who show up between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. ET (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT local time) on Friday, Jan. 1, 2010.

Wanderlei Silva was supposed to be included in the pre-fight activities; however, his duties as guest of the UFC Fight Club Q&A on that same day forced him out of the session. "The Axe Murderer’s" Q&A kicks off at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT), followed by the UFC 108 official weigh-in event.

Both the autograph session and weigh-ins are free and open to the public, but you must be a member of the UFC Fight Club to attend the Silva Q&A. For more information on how to become a member click here.

The road to UFC 108 has been potholed with injuries, but the main event retains some heavy-hitting promise between former smooth-moving light heavyweight champion "Sugar" Rashad Evans and the hard-charging Thiago Silva. British brawler Paul "Semtex" Daley is slated to welcome back Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Dustin Hazelett in the co-featured fight of the night.

Remember that MMAmania.com will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of UFC 108, beginning with the pay-per-view (PPV) telecast at 10 p.m. ET. In addition, we will deliver up-to-the-minute quick results of all the under card action on fight night.
