World Extreme Cagefighting has announced the full fight card for its Feb. 13 event, which features a total of three title fights.

“WEC: Condit vs. Prater” takes place at the Santa Ana Star Center in Albuquerque, N.M., and airs live on the Versus network beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Local fighter and WEC welterweight champ Carlos Condit headlines the event against challenger Carlo Prater. Lightweight champion Rob McCullough and bantamweight title-holder Chase Beebe are also booked for the event and will defend their titles.

Zuffa LLC, the UFC’s parent company, purchased the WEC more than a year ago to be run as a sister organization. Since the ownership change, seven WEC shows have taken place — all at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Albuquerque show will be the first outside Sin City since Zuffa’s involvement.

The full card for WEC 32 includes:

Champ Carlos Condit vs. Carlo Prater (for welterweight title)
Champ Rob McCullough vs. Jamie Varner (for lightweight title)
Champ Chase Beebe vs. Miguel Torres (for bantamweight title)
Mark Hominick vs. Josh Grispi
Antonio Banuelos vs. Manny Tapia
Scott Jorgensen vs. Jesse Moreng
Yoshiro Maeda vs. Charlie Valencia
Leonard Garcia vs. Hiroyuki Takaya
Chance Farrar vs. Micah Miller
Del Hawkins vs. Ox Wheeler
